http://velmasverses.blogspot.com/ - Read about her and her poetry.

Her Life

Married at age 15 in Kansas.  Mother to ten children of which only seven survived 



infancy. Raised five children by herself after being deserted by her first husband in Missouri. Married again to have five more children in Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas. 

Became a member of the Pentecostal Holiness Church under the ministry of Rev. Sally Flippin in Wichita, Kansas in the early 1950's. Charter member of churches in Wellington, Kansas in the early 1960's. 

Trained as a Nurse's Aide and served as special care attendant at local hospitals in Wellington, Kansas. 

Retired to the Ozarks in the 1970's and published two books of poetry before the death of her husband and her own subsequent failing health. 

She lived to see her dreams fulfilled as almost all of her children became active in church and several in various forms of ministry. She saw too her grandchildren being raised in Christian homes. She lived to see the fulfillment of her ongoing prayers that God would care for, protect, and guide her children.

God's Sweet Love And Grace
V.Terry 1984   [copyright]

When outside the storm is raging
There is peace deep within;
We have no need to fear, if our
Faith is placed in Him.

Oh, how sweet the love of God
How wonderful is His grace;
And how our hearts are lifted
When by faith,we see His face.

He still walks upon the water's
Of every troubled soul;
And still says "Peace be still
I've spoken to make you whole."

No matter what the circumstances
we must keep our eye's on  Him;
Never fear, never falter
and our battles we will win.

Oh, how sweet when we see Him
and know He's conquered all;
To know that we've been faithful
And answered when He called.
