Love from Above
A poetry book dedicated to women
Designed to speak to the depths of a women’s heart, both young & old,
for He makes us bold and whole
It features ways my heart was warmed with both simple and large joys
These poems are my personal testimony as I sing praise in a lyrical way,
describing how this intimacy watered me
This love strengthened me during the hidden battles that women fall victim to daily
It details beauty I was too blind to see, that slowed my heartbeat & transformed me
May these writings bring your tender soul hope
and open eyes to everyday delights that bring light to life
May it enhance your essence & infuse your life with
Love from above
Six months after Vendela's beloved father suddenly passed from heart failure, the Almighty began to paint her pain page by page, capturing her journey to healing in the midst of her broken heart at the age of twenty-three. Over the course of two years, she wrote journal entries during her morning devotions, recording the suffering, healing, and awakening stemming from her loss. With each rising sun, Vendela shared on her Instagram the keys she received from heaven, documenting daily breakthroughs and aha moments, delivering spiritual jewels from her quiet mornings with her Creator where she escaped her world and sat quietly . . . waiting for each key from above. Step into the heart and mind of a suffering soul who rose from pain to gain. May each key unlock relief and plant hope in the hearts and minds of people.
The suffering.
The truth.
The freedom.
The beauty.
