Book Cover & Preview Text
My life has not been one of total ease nor oppression. Some of my dilemmas were self-created, some the result of allowing the wrong people to influence me. When I allowed God to be absent from my life, things didn't go so well. I was raised as a Christian young lady but decided to take a vacation from church when I left home. I am not bitter with God or any individual. I realize that in every situation, trial, and triumph I experienced, He allowed it to happen, and because he allowed it to happen He had a plan of escape and reason in mind. God never meant anything that happened in my life to kill me because I am still here. I give Him honor, praise, and glory for allowing me to share a word of life and encouragement. I've had some good days, some bad days, some hills and valleys but I will not complain. I choose to accept all my life challenges and understand how they shaped my life. After all, l have been through I still have joy.

About the Book
My written words are my voice! Until I learned to cry out to God, it was me and the pen speaking on paper. I found countless journals filled with my thoughts and ideas; some written in shorthand and I could not decipher. I wrote down everything that I held inside until I was able to verbalize it. I encourage you to let God hear your voice. Psalm 145:18-19 18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. 19 He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
