By the age of fifteen she knew beyond doubt, that God was speaking to her heart as a missionary to Native Americans.

(Colossians 3:23) Carrie learned to know true love is about, God working in our lives daily. The author was strengthened by that truth; through the years her husband was addicted to alcohol. To the reader, it might seen unbelievable how the story Remembering True Love come into being. A Christian published advised Carrie to put aside writing for awhile, then decide how her memoir would be written. Patiently, she waited a year seeking God’s direction, but no heavenly sign came. “I will not attempt to write a book without God’s help,” Carrie told herself. Then one night in a deep sleep she heard these words: “Your book will be a narrative story of your life!” Carrie knew beyond doubt, as she woke from the dream those words were of divine intimacy. “Lord, I only write poetry!” She mumbled to herself. The author felt certain God would forget the whole matter, although it did not happen. During the weeks that followed she lost her joy, because she ignored the calling God placed on her heart. “Okay Lord, I will write my memoir!” Carrie told herself filled with heavenly assurance.. And so it was, the author begin to write Remembering True Love.
