About the Author

Rev. Dr. Ouida Lee is a retired Elder of the North Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church, who considers herself to be a late bloomer. It was through Faith that all of her dreams have become a reality. She graduated college 20 years post high school because she allowed distractions to take her off track and that was only the beginning. She earned her Masters’ and Doctorate from the Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University, giving her the foundation for Ordination and Leadership in the UMC. Ouida has faced many challenges throughout her life, including the tragic death of her father and young son, but through her indomitable faith in God continues to share inspiration and words of motivation with others. She believes that the Bible, like no other literature, when it is comprehended, shares a new path for life’s realities. Its simple truths and exemplary love for humanity is often overlooked as the Bible reader rushes to use its text to condemn. She also believes that poetry written by others when coupled with the words of Scripture provide a platform for moving ahead. As a Dallas City employee, she listened to Seeds of Greatness, by Dr. Dennis Waitley and adopted his words, “Turn every stumbling block into a stepping stone.” Similarly, “Mother to Son,” written by Langston Hughes, “Cause Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair,” to bolster her on this journey of life. Dr. Lee has a real love for seeing all of the beauty that has God has created and as a result has traveled internationally to five of the seven Continents. The bible teaches us that God wants to give us the desires of our hearts. It’s all here, engaging, painful, and triumphant. Wow What A Ride!
