About Me

My photo
Anacortes, Washington, United States
This is my testimony - my testimony of faith and lack thereof; of the rising and falling of hopes and dreams; of beliefs and disbelief's; of tremendous heartache and human folly; of reaching out and stepping out when all I want at times is to is pull back and step away. At the age of 30 I was diagnosed with a very rare neurological condition called Post-traumatic Syringomyelia (PTS). Please visit my post on PTS. One of my goals is to increase awareness of this terminal condition. Broken to Grace is not yet released. Follow this blog to receive an email when the final release date is announced. God bless, Ronda

Taking a POLL - vote vote vote for the cover photo.

Picture #1

Picture #2

Picture #3


The Cover of the book will have a photo of me, but I don't want it to be evidently me. It will be very subdued - and the rocks and the ocean are key. I have chosen these three because I'm not directly looking at the camera and you can't see my face much - if at all. The Title will be overlaid.

Please help in this decision - it's an important one! Vote by commenting to this post - thank you.

    I vote for pic #2. To me is speaks of allowing God's grace to work in you as you hold your heart.
    (I also like the black & white effect in photo #3)

    These are my thoughts exactly robbed from Joe.:) Something stands above the other 2 in this picture, it really to me is no contest. #1 is beautiful but 2 embraces the Project I think. <3 heart, smile, xo

    I am enjoying all your comments so much. Thank you everyone - keep them coming! So very helpful.
    In case some of you are wondering...some people can't figure out how to post on here...so they are voting on Fb and I'm copying their posts here to this blog vote so I can keep all the votes in one place.

    I vote for #1, Ronda...although I agree with everyone else...you can't go wrong on any of them. #1, to me, represents faith, hope, love, perseverance, rising above it all, and most importantly, your complete devotion to God!! I love you lady!!

    Ronda, Your pictures have captured the beauty of your journey. As a photographer I like 1 & 2 the best. Not sure if that helps but I am happy to encourage you, pray for you and with, you as you take these steps toward publishing your book! May you be blessed beyond your own understanding! ~ In Him, Lisa

    I like pic 2. It looks like your literally receiving grace! But I think a black and white photo is more book cover-ish. Can you make pic 2 a black and white?

    #2 received the most votes all around, but #1 received ALL of the younger votes, AND because of the pureness of a younger person's heart, #1 is the picture that we're using. - You may already know this - but in case you are not on my other pages and don't already know this, here it is!
    Thank you for taking the time to vote - this is all very exciting for me to experience.
    Ronda
