Why i write and share my story







I write because it is the ideal way to tell my story, share my experiences, tell about the growth of my faith, how it was developed, fed and strengthened.

I incorporate the bible verses that have helped me along the way. I also write about the prophetic words that GOD has allowed his prophets to speak over my life.

When this particular phase that I write about started about eight years ago, the support under my feet had literally been yanked from under it. My daughter and I were living a nightmare, at that time; she was only just past 16 years of age. Our world had crumbled and fell apart. We were living in an uncertain place, no one to turn to and the only people we knew had stabbed us not only in the back, but in our face also. Even the old church we used to go to turned into a nightmare. Our faith was being tried, tested and stretched.



It was at this point that GOD allowed us to turn to him instead of man. A lot of people would have walked away, lose their faith, but ours started to grow, because GOD had a plan for us. A couple of media that GOD used to build us was Christian and gospel music and the Bible, that’s why I share the music that GOD allowed me to listen to and they in turn started to heal and inspire me.


I write about the church I joined The Living hope Christian Center in Pennsauken NJ and our pastors Ronald king Sr and Angela King, because over the years they prayed for us without ceasing. They are highly anointed and transparent and one of the most realistic man and woman of GOD that I have ever met, and their encouraging words have helped me and they continue to feed my faith.


My writing is about my Faith and my GOD and my real life’s journey. I write about what I went through. It is not a story, it really happened and I know that somewhere right now, someone is going through what I went through and if by chance they stumble across my writing, I want them to know that GOD can and will pull them through as he did for us.



I write and am an advocate for the homeless, hurting, lonely people, going through stuff through no fault of theirs. Ones who think they have no one to turn to. I want them to know that they have GOD and JESUS to turn to and that they will never leave them or forsake them, and that though the world says one thing, it is GOD’s words and opinions that matters.
 God surely had a reason for what we went through. Only he knew why people had to be cut off from our lives and why he shut all those doors.


I learnt and am still learning to pray, asking GOD for divine intervention, interpretation and strength. Slowly the answers have started to come.

When I write, it’ not that I want people to feel sorry for me, it’s because I want people to be strengthened, to not look at the world or man, but to look up to GOD, to let go and let GOD. That’s why I write.

It’s not peaches and cream yet for us, far from it. But so long as my Faith is strong and I have GOD, there is hope.


I put my trust, faith and belief on GOD and him alone. GOD is all I have and he is all I need and I am not ashamed to declare it to the world. That’s why I write!!
