Bio

April F. Cooper is a follower of Jesus Christ, a mother of 4, and a daily grace recipient. She has earned two master’s degrees, as well as a graduate certificate in Pastoral Counseling (from Liberty University). Working in the field of education continues to be her career focus.

Additionally, she is the founder of a very small charity called “Lavender, Lilac and Lilies” that has given free floral arrangements, floral wreaths and small gifts as encouragement to those celebrating birthdays and milestones while living in shelters, senior centers, group homes, etc. During the pandemic, the Lavender, Lilac and Lilies’ mission shifted to provide lavender-themed “welcome baskets” to those moving from homelessness to permanent housing, as well as lavender-themed care packages to women in shelters, etc.

April’s free time is typically spent with her family and friends, writing, reading, and creating arts/crafts and floral designs. She also periodically increases her skills in American Sign Language.

She firmly believes this book is a testament to what can happen when you wait on the Lord for direction. Each devotion in this book was a gift from God that April believes she was privileged to write.
