INTRODUCTION
Growing up we start out as such innocent creatures of life. We look at the world in a light that no one else can understand. We may look at a butterfly and think it is the most magical being in the world. As we watch this butterfly we may follow it around waiting in anticipation to see where this magnificent being will land. Little do we know that we are all butterflies growing up and God watches us in amazement. He watches us to see us fly around in our journey we call life and waits to see where we will land. All God wants is for us to land in his hands, so each day he looks after us holding out his hands waiting in anticipation. Sometimes, in life, we may run into hard weather but God is always there to guide us through the storms of life. He walks side by side with us guiding us with his hands. We just need to learn to trust in the Lord and know that all will be well.
Even though I did not realize it sometimes, God was walking me through my life. He protected me from harm and got me out of some rough situations. As you will read in this book, I went through some hard times in my life. Many times, when I was going through the rough storms, I thought I was alone, but I wasn’t. God was there with me, watching over me, I just did not realize it at the time.
Growing up, my mom and dad raised me well and instilled great values in me. For a time, I was raised in church but as I got older I slipped away from time to time, until one day I went back and stayed. I started to write when I was 14 years old. One day I was sitting there watching a movie and words came to my head. I wrote them down and it was then that I realized that I liked writing my feelings down. I continued to write throughout my life. I wrote of love, life and pain. When I got older I decided to publish my first book “Unknown Love”, which is basically the story of my life from child to womanhood written in poetry form. Two years later I published “The Light Will Shine Through”, which is a collection of poetry I wrote within a year’s time.
I wrote this book to tell my story. Growing up and as a young adult, I went through some things that still weigh on my mind to this day. I figured that writing about it would help me to get it out. In this book you will read about some of the relationships I had as a young adult, the molestations that I endured when I was a child, and some other things that I went through. This is my survival story and how I survived With God’s Hands.
