Preface

First giving all honor, praise, and glory to my heavenly father, and my savior Jesus Christ, who gave me the gift of writing. Without the holy trinity there would be no inspiring to write. These following entries of poetry I would like to dedicate to all those who have been where I've been and felt what I've felt. I would also like to encourage those who feel like they don't have the gumption or guts that it will happen -- listen to what god tells you to do -then leave the circumstances to him.

To the reader:

The poems in this book are what I've written just about everyday life. Its trials and tribulations cause us to sometimes deal with several emotions. My grandmother always told me "if you can't say it - write it!" Therefore I've tried to put down all of what I've felt, seen and experienced through my life. Some of these poems are Holy Spirit inspired! These poems I hope to be as advice as well as encouragement. Take these poems and try to apply them to your own life. You'll find that really you're not alone in what you're going through; and that God can and will see you through all!
