Whispers

About the Book

This is an inspired collection of poetry that I have received since 1983. These thoughts came to me after personal conversations with God. Journaling was a one-way conversation that evolved into a two-way relationship, which inspired this collection. Seeking answers to all the whys of the pain and shame I had experienced, I turned to God, opened my heart, and listened. Then I began writing what I heard. My heartfelt wish is that after reading this, you will see God as someone who wants a personal relationship with you.

About the Author

Born in Minnesota in 1963, Kim Bjerken was diagnosed with hip dysplasia in the first year of her life. This required hip surgery, a body cast for three months, braces, and corrective shoes until the age of five. She married at age nineteen and had become a mother of four when tragedy struck again. Another hip surgery put her in a wheelchair while faced with raising three girls under five and a son that was ten years old. More surgeries and a car accident kept her in a wheelchair until 2002, when through the grace of God, she was able to start rehabilitation and counseling for PTSD. Then she went on to seek a degree as a certified medical assistant. She currently lives in a mountainous area near Glacier Park and works as a certified medical assistant, having overcome the setbacks that had limited her mobility earlier in life. Her strongest belief is that prayers make a difference.
