foundation of faith was laid early for me. My mother taught us to pray early in life and every Sunday, we were in church from morning to evening. During social integration I went to Franklin D. Roosevelt High School in Atlanta, Georgia. I was on the basket ball team, drill team, majorette squad, and was a part of the Home Coming Court in my senior year. Upon graduating high school I went on to attend Morris Brown College and majored in Business Administration. I have always had a desire to do something out of the ordinary but I was not sure exactly what it would be. After graduating from college I married and had two sons. Life became my new classroom. My personal ambitions were put on hold to support my husband and his vision while I stayed home and raised our two boys. Once they reached an age where they could communicate better (I could place them in daycare and not be concerned about them being mistreated), I decided to study to become a real estate agent. I passed the state exam and began working in real estate sales. Real estate became a great outlet for me, but the type of rigorous activity that was required really began to take a toll on me. I decided to look into substitute teaching as another outlet, while I still pursued deals in property sales. This offered me the opportunity to enhance my sales skills on one hand while working with teenagers and young adults on another. While I was growing on one end, my marriage was dying on another. All this began to happen about the time I was finalizing the divorce, which in itself was a very traumatizing experience. I began keeping a diary of my life’s experiences during this period and one day I had an idea to turn my diary into a book. My first book, I must say, has taken a lot internal desire, determination, and discipline to complete. To do something you've never done before without any informal or formal training can be very taxing on the mind and body. It all proved to be worth it as "Go to Hell Satan" was published in August 2006. Of course life continues to offer new experiences and so this book continues to evolve. I have some new additions to the book that are soon to come in an updated publication in 2010.
continue to pursue life in the midst of adversity and circumstances. I am living proof that to overcome and sit on the other side of a trial is sweet. You get a chance to really see what's in you and also you get an opportunity to develop in Christ. As you read "Go To Hell Satan," be encouraged and know that the ability to overcome is a God- given gift that you already possess. Is there anything to hard for God? NO!!! So the next time the devil tries to get in your face with your mess-ups, you plead the blood of Jesus, declare your redemption and say to him, "Go to Hell Satan!!!" |
