"ONE SISTER OF FAITH PACKING UP" a book of Christian short stories and poems that Iwas inspired to writewhile going through a storm of trials and tribulations.While writing down some of my thoughts and personal experiences, I began to see myself in the storm, andalso my lack of faith.I could see were my trust in God had grown, thank God I knew to call apon him. Yet I still did not have the faith that I needed to walk away from being bound, trusting and believing that the same God who kept meduring those storms,is the same God able to keep me through all the storms in my life. I thank God for inspiring me to write at an early age. I thank him for the bells that woke me up in the early hours of the morning, so that I would read his word.I thank him because he had plans for my life and I am so glad that God never fails.
