Behold a Woman
A woman’s beauty can be seen outside,
but the truth of her essence is within.
For it is not pertinent to her age or shape,
but found in her confidence that
complies from the knowledge about ones self.
Her confidence guides her heart; her heart rules her thoughts;
her thoughts produce the patterns of her character, which emits from her aura.
For the Lord is her confidence.
He gives her the freedom to believe in the nature of
who she has been created to be,
to involve herself in the thoughts and inspirations
of knowing the truth of who He is, and obtaining those
of who she is to become.
Truth brings understanding, understanding brings confidence,
confidence brings magnetism, and magnetism distinguishes
the authenticity of His creation in that of a woman.
Behold a woman!
An authentic woman!
Implausibly unpretentious,
full of femininity, confidently striking, and
exceptionally charming!
For she is His master piece of creation
and a remarkable reflection

About the Book
Christians should have an audacity of faith with an
auspicious outlook on life; but instead, we forget to
keep our focus in perspective. We all struggle with
inadvertent, day to day living and unruly heart interruptions.
Th is, of course, is all along the lines of life’s journey. However
in Christ, getting an understanding of our concrete problems
becomes water under the bridge. How you perceive your
problem will shape and determine your outcome. Your problem
can either be deemed as a tool to catapult you into your victory
or your spiritual death announcement upon your defeat. It‘s
your call!
Hidden in the writings of these poetic expressions and emotional
odyssey’s, are minor, yet, helpful tips. One can be mindful that
he or she is not alone, and during our struggles they should not
be endured alone. We must understand that we need each other
no matter what heartache or pains befall us! We need to grasp
an understanding of the greatest gift which is love and allow it
to fl ourish throughout our natural being. Once we allow love
to rule in our hearts we can expect an increase of happiness in
our lives. We must reach our destination BY ANY MEANS
NECESSARY!!! We must be willing to demonstrate the power
and character of our father by developing wisdom and embracing
the anointing of LOVE to reach our destination, as well as
accomplishing our God given tasks!
About the Author
By the grace of God, I was born in 1970 and then born again a second time into the life of Christ in 1989. I have been blessed to be able to extract lessons from excellent mentors and have good fellowship with prominent people of faith. However, living was not always so grand in Christ, but it was and is just as He predicted. My natural life had many failures, disappointments, and heartbreaks just like those of you; but the sad part is that most of those heartaches and pains came from people of faith. Though the arrows of life struck me, I found the will to press on, learning that my press was part of my reward, setting me up for greater achievements. All I could do was embrace Christ.
I understand that He is my example, so the only thing that I must try to do is overcome the world as well. Overcome for the love of my child and my fellow siblings, for I refuse to allow my living to be in vain.
In journaling my life, I learned that I possessed many talents and decided to build on them. Though I tapped into the areas of nutrition and drama, I found peace in writing poetry and short stories. I began to write just for leisure. Some of the poems were from experience, and some were fictional experiences. To my surprise, I never fathomed that some of them would minister to me in the future. They became prophetic expressions and words of encouragement for me. I found the will to live and battle in the wars of life. I vowed to encourage others as much as I can, as we straddle along the war zones wounded. For it is God's goal that we live out His calling and purpose and that none perish. And, if I can be a blessing through the talents that God has placed within me, I can be confident that my living is not in vain, for surely I can deliver balm to someone's aid if not healing.
