This book was very challenging for me, but it brought home the fact that I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. I was not up for writing this book, because I did not feel that my writing skills were up to par with societys standards. God taught me to press on, and I truly learned that God equips you for whatever He has tasked you to do. My favorite saying is what God has for me is for me, and I believe that nothing will stand in the way of your destiny if you trust in God. Weather you believe it or not your life is planned and managed by God. This is my encouragement to you. So press toward the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus, because you can do anything when you set your mind to it and put God first. You know what I mean when I say you feel something deep down in your spirit telling you to do something. I believe this is your nudging from God. You have already been given confirmation and are still hesitant to move forward. I was also like that and God sent several people to tell me to write this book. I pray that this book be used by God to strengthen your faith and give you hope as you press towards your future. Remember God has equipped you to go forth and conquer. You know He says in His word that you are more than a conqueror. Believe in Him!!!
Sobre el autor
I was born and raised in Jersey City, New Jersey. I was uprooted and moved to Baltimore, Maryland in 1967 for three years. I moved back to Jersey City, New Jersey in 1970 and attended one year of the 8th grade at PS # 22 school. I attended Lincoln High School and graduated in 1974. I attended Saint Augustine’s College in Raleigh, North Carolina and graduated in 1978. I married Terry Griffin, my college sweetheart, in 1979. I became a mother for the first time in 1980 to a son, Terry Jr. Three years later my daughter, Cynetheia, arrived in 1983. In 1999, my family was extended by two, Chelvia and Christopher, who were blessings from the lord. I have also been blessed with two granddaughters, one eight, and the other is five months old. Their names are Khalani and Ariyah. My husband and I are members of Open Door Church located in Suffolk, Virginia. I have been a member since 1992 and my husband joined in 1999. My husband and I are leaders in the church. Our ministry is providing counseling to couples having marital problems; however, God has frequently blessed us with the opportunity to speak outside of the church, and share our testimony with others on how God saved our marriage. My husband and I enjoy proclaiming the gospel, and sharing in its teachings with others.
