Meet Laura Beth

Laura Beth Young  is an inspirational poet, writer, singer, and  motivational speaker. When an accident left her bed-ridden with spinal damage/chronic pain at the age of twenty- eight, she felt her life was over. Her dream of being a hands- on mother to her four sons, all under the age of eight, evaporated before her eyes. She drew strength from the Lord and persevered through despairing times, eventually adjusting and discovering creative ways to raise her sons, who have now grown into incredible, fine young men.

A new dream was birthed in Laura as she felt compelled to begin penning her emotions, ranging from desperation to an over abundance of happiness and peace. Often in her darkest hours, God display’s His compassion and mercy, pouring out words of consolation, understanding and joy, which Laura pens into poetry and song. Desiring to share this gift with others, you will find a rare, raw vulnerability that offers her readers comfort and a solid sense of hope.

Residing in Southern Maryland with her wonderful husband and four sons, she invites you to explore her plethora of works, including poetry, greeting cards, songs, children’s stories, true short stories and devotionals. It is her hope that your heart will be touched and that your spirits will be uplifted!

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God”. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
