Teresa Mathews
I was raised in Columbia, South Carolina by wonderful Christian parents. As a small child I was drawn to the piano and I started taking lessons at the age of five. I started playing piano in church at the age of fourteen and realized then this was the path God had chosen for me. Church is where I met my husband, Carlton. We have been happily married for almost 25 years; he is the Worship Leader in our church, Abundant Life Assembly. We have been blessed with two teenage boys, Daniel, almost 18 and Joshua 16, (who was born on my birthday). I have home schooled them for the past five years. I have always loved to read, so in my spare time you will find me with a book (or Kindle) in my hand. I am grateful to be a part of this wonderful blog and I pray that God will use me to be a blessing to someone.

Noela Nancarrow
I live on the beautiful Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia with my husband and teenage son Nathan, who was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome when he was four. We also have two beautiful older daughters; the eldest married and with one cute little son… so far!
My passions include helping the needy, and praying for and supporting the persecuted through Brother Andrew’s ‘Open Doors’ ministry. I LOVE God, church, and my wonderful family and friends... including all my new cherished online friends. I enjoy blessing and encouraging others and look out for opportunities to do that often. Reading has become a huge passion in the last couple of years, with my favourite genre being Inspirational Historical Romance. And I’m thoroughly enjoying and loving the ministry that the Lord led me to with this fantastic team of ladies on ‘Overcoming With God’.
