Book Cover & Preview Text
You’ve got bills to pay and mouths to feed
And your hours at work have been decreased
Bills are due, the car note is late
And the mortgage on the house has to be paid
Times are hard and it’s getting worse
Decisions about what to let go back first
Dreams shattered and families destroyed
Struggling to keep things you can’t afford
Mothers and Fathers are losing their jobs
Houses being invaded and people being robbed
With all the things going on in the world today
At this point all we can do is pray
That’s why every night I get down on my knees
And I thank the Lord for keeping me
I ask for the mind frame to make clear decisions
Prepare me Lord for your provisions
Lord only knows how long this will go on
Just give me the will I ask to stay strong
I know that I will see better days
You will always make a way out of no way
Darker days you have brought me through
And for that Lord I say Thank you
Deliver me from this rut that I’m in
You’re my saving grace, provider and friend
I know that these circumstances will not last
I’m not rushing you, but I need you bad
Lay hands on me and keep me still
Don’t let me go, give me the will
Just continue to hold on to me
Until I can declare Victory!

About the Author
Avis P. Raines was born in Miami, Florida. As a little girl she was always humble and respectful to all. That humbleness and respect stayed with her as she got older.
Avis first became interested in entertaining when she entered high school, joining the dance team, drama and chorus.
After high school Avis furthered her career by receiving her Child Development Associate certification. While working in child development she felt that there was something missing. So began writing songs and arranging them.
What do you know; as luck would have it she got a call about joining a local singing group. She jumped at the chance without a second thought. Not only does she have the gift of writing, but she also has a beautiful voice. Entertaining was just in her.
They were featured on local artists albums and had the opportunity to travel. She got a chance to meet people and do wonderful things that she would not have otherwise gotten the chance to do.
Three years later Avis decided to leave the group. A year after got married and that didn't work out. During that time she lost her Mom. That was a devastating loss for her; considering how she loves her family. Her Mom was her world.
So Avis turned to the Father for guidance, wisdom, strength, love and support, as well as her family and friends. She knew that her life would not be the same without her Mom. She converted to writing. The best way for her to express herself. The only way she knew to let go of the hurt, anger and pain that she was enduring. That was her inspiration for this book.
So remember to live every second, embrace every minute, enjoy every hour and thank Him for everyday.
