About the Author
Kirby Smith is a wife, a mother of three, and a full-time paralegal, who started documenting unexplained events that were happening to her family. She received an answer to her prayers in May 2014 when she received a sign to share the untold God-thing stories that were happening in her life. Kirby started a blog regarding her family’s multiple spiritual experiences. The following of her blog was profound, so she decided to continue to spread the news of God’s great work by writing “Strings from Above.” During her mother’s terminal illness and her sister’s diagnosis of cancer, she developed a deeper relationship with God and learned there are no coincidences. She also found out she carries a genetic mutation, which drastically increases her risk of breast cancer. Kirby underwent preventative surgery to significantly reduce her risk of breast cancer and to honor her mother who died from the disease. She and her husband, Josh, along with their three sons reside in Olathe, Kansas.
