Book Cover & Preview Text
Writing this book was not an easy task. It seemed as if every time I was close to submitting this book for publishing, the Devil would throw new stones at me to get me off track and make me angrier than ever! The bitterness that once held me bound, kept trying to form again within my heart and soul like never before. People were constantly hurting me. I was consistently being let down by those whom I thought were in my corner. My house was broken into, my marriage fell apart, my youth center had burned down and several months later, had to be closed due to lack of funding and my pending divorce, and friends, or those whom I thought were my friends, began to lie on me and degrade my character like never before. I wasn’t doing as well as I had envisioned I’d be at this stage in my life. I was, once again becoming bitter. One Sunday afternoon after attending worship service at my church, His Kingdom Ministries in Durham, North Carolina, I sat alone in my room and began to talk with God. I wanted to know why a woman like me, who clearly LOVES the LORD with all my heart and soul, was battling so many storms back to back. At that very moment, while I was seeking God’s face, He reminded me that serving Him, honoring Him, and loving Him would NOT be an easy task and that the Devil WOULD try to destroy me every chance that he could. He also reminded me of all the things that He went through when He was here on earth. He told me that if I truly loved Him and believed in Him, that I would endure this pain with my head held high so that He could fulfill His destiny for my life and receive all the glory. He also asked me how deep my faith was in Him.

About the Book
One Sunday afternoon after attending worship service at my church, His Kingdom Ministries in Durham, North Carolina, I sat alone in my room and began to talk with God. I wanted to know why a woman like me, who clearly LOVES the LORD with all my heart and soul, was battling so many storms back to back.

He also reminded me of all the things that He went through when He was here on earth. He told me that if I truly loved Him and believed in Him, that I would endure this pain with my head held high so that He could fulfill His destiny for my life and receive all the glory... Yes, I became angry and often rebellious to God’s word and plan for my life, but when it was all said and done, I knew where my help cometh from. I knew that without God, I’d be totally lost and I just couldn’t afford to be out of God’s will or His grace.
