Yvonne Carter is a mother of five ranging in ages from 18 to 36 years old. She has two sons, Vaughn and Sean Jones and three daughters, Alicia, Joy and Yvonne Carter. She began writing and creating greeting cards for her children and eventually included family, friends and church family etc. She found true purpose when she came to know Jesus Christ and accepted Him into her life. Her heart's desire is to show the love of Christ to others that they, too, may know, love, worship and obey Him. Along with her business partner, Gwendolyn Cary, she begun a Christian Greeting Card Business called "Refreshing the Spirit Ministries". Some of Yvonne's poetry God birthed out of frustrations, challenges or struggles in her life. Some came forth out of joyful experiences, simply awakening to a new day or just questioning something she would see or hear. God would sometimes just give her a word to minister to another in need of edifying. She sees a central theme of "love" in her writings. She is growing in her love for the LORD and prays that each reader would as well. It is all to the Glory of God
