Glorifying The King

At the age of 7, I was a sad, confused & lonely child.  Although I had a big family, I still felt alone. I felt as if there was no one that I could share my feelings with.  I really didn’t know where to call home because my mother, little brother, and myself would travel back and forth from father’s house to my grandmother’s home.  I recall many times when we were with my father; he and my mother would get into arguments and physical fights.  The times when we stayed with my grandmother; I often felt like no one really knew that I existed although there was so many of us in that one little house.  My mother would leave my brother and I there while she went out with friends.  There were times when she wouldn’t return home for days, sometimes weeks. 

One Sunday morning; I was looking at a church program on TV, and the minister asked if anyone watching wanted to give their life to the Lord to just pray the prayer he was saying.  So, even though I really didn’t know what he meant by that, I prayed anyway because I felt that was what I was supposed to do.  From that day, I started writing letters to God.  As I was writing those letters, I was wondering if God had an address.  So, I said to myself, “Until I find his address, I’ll just leave them in my notebook.” After writing many letters to God, I noticed different things happening which seemed like God had read my letters.  So, I said to myself, “Well, I guess God can read my letters while it’s right here in my notebook.”

So, I continued to write letters to God.  Each time I wrote a letter to God I felt better inside. I found myself writing almost everyday.  I started writing my thoughts, feelings and experiences on paper. I have been writing poems, worship songs, gospel rap songs and letters of encouragement since then.          

There have been many people who have always told me that I was a great writer and encouraged me to write books. I have always thanked God for this talent.  About 3 years ago; God said it wasn’t just a talent; but it’s an anointing.  So, God has used me to evangelize to people by writing letters of encouragement.  Writing not only helps me to express myself but it can definitely help others as well.  I believe that writing is healing for me. I use to only write when I was hurting and feeling down. As I got older, I started to prophesy in my writing. Instead of just writing about my hurt and pain, I began to write about my healing and deliverance that I already saw in the spirit realm despite what I was going through. I write about real life issues that many would want to keep quiet about. I refuse to just write about surface issues. I feel I must get down to the core. I can’t sugar-coat my writings if I want to see myself and others healed, delivered and free.

This book is filled with poems, short stories, songs and testimonies.  I believe that no matter who you are; this book will help you in some kind of way.  I just pray that this book will Encourage you and Glorify HIM!
