Laura A. Diaz
Laura Diaz is the mother to seven, and NE Certified teacher for Middle grades 4-9 with a MA in Teaching and endorsements in both Language Arts & Social Science.
While in the Air Force, she lived in Italy for four years and wrote a successful monthly column, "Single Minded," for a local mission-newsletter, The Shofar. She also is the author of Come What May: A devotional collection of short story and poetic musing.

In her magazine freelance articles, she has written about family, motherhood, and her struggles with ADHD, all spiced with infectious humor.
When she's not writing or teaching in a middle school classroom, you may find her bingeing on whole seasons of a missed T.V. show-- in one sitting, or found with her nose in a good book--YA, lately you'll see her pulling shoes and such from the death-grip jaws of their new GSP puppy, Charlie.
“As a teenager I clearly remember mornings when I was getting ready for school when something would -just still me- and I would lean forward and peer very intensely into the eyes of the girl in that mirror. who is that? I didn't know . I looked into those eyes as if they had the answer to who I am or who I could be." So I would search the depths of those green and blue flecked eyes. Calmly searching the eyes of this stranger as if I thought that if I looked deep enough, or long enough, I would find the answer to why I was even here.I didn't know what I know now. That I could only find out my identity,who I waswhen I stopped looking into my own eyesand instead searched in the eyes of Jesus. Only He could REALLY tell me who I am. Who I can be. Who I will be...”
“Responding with eyes filled with introspection and a soft, slow voice, Cayla confessed, “I don’t. I don’t have all the answers. But I cling desperately to the Hand of the One who does. Because sometimes that’s just the best you can do.”""Come What May"-Cayla to Abbie-”
