Constance (Connie) Parks

I was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma where I graduated from Nathan Hale High School. I studied art at Central State College now known as University of Central Oklahoma. Bruce Parks and I were married in Tulsa, Oklahoma, shortly after college. I became born again in 1971 during the revival of the seventies.

        In 1976 because of a job transfer I, my husband, and two sons moved to the Houston, Texas area, specifically Missouri City, Texas where I now reside.

        After receiving the gift of tongues, while attending a Full Gospel Church, I enrolled in the Full Gospel Church’s School of Ministry and graduated in 1989. It was during this school that I penned the first poem that eventually made it into my book The Secret Place-The Garden of Love. 

        Beginning in 1996 I started writing. I went through a traumatic experience that opened the door to writing the first book called The Secret Place-The Garden of Love. I wrote on it for twenty years. Finally, in 2016 the book was officially published and in 2020 the book No Greater Love was published.

        In 2011, I was ordained through Joan Hunter Ministries and now am a part of the Freedom Center Church Altar Team ministry, where I am able to pray for people to be healed and made whole.

Some of my hobbies are painting and playing a few songs on the electric piano keyboard. Another favorite of mine is going to Estes Park Colorado. I love the area which is at the foot of the Rocky Mountain National Park where there is the fresh air, the trees, flowers, and the humming birds.  I have taken mountains of pictures and will share some below.
