SEATS OF HONOR

TO THE UTMOST, I acknowledge that the highest seat of honor goes to MY LOVING POWERFUL GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD, who single-handedly orchestrated my life with a mere thought.  I love you with every bit of God in me.  Truly, I am a reflection of your righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Next, my BELOVED CHILDREN and EIGHT GRANDCHILDREN: Elder Trynnyssyca I. Bonner, Juante J. Kelly, Apostle A. Marquis (Elder Tiffany) Faison, and my God-Daughter, Bishop Felicia D. Bruton. You all have brought the most joy to my life.  You’ve seen me bleeding, wounded, and rejected, yet you never lost faith in God or His people. Thanks for being my greatest supporters. My Eight Grandchildren: you are incredible and brilliant. Looking at you makes me know that God has truly blessed me.

To my spiritual mother, Apostle Julia Berry, I love you more than words can say. Thank you for always loving me back and praying for me. You are a true reflection of THIS RICH, FULL AND SATISFIED LIFE.  My life is better because I have you in it.  

To my for-real, for-real sister and friend, Apostle Debra E. Gause, thank you for the 25+ year covenant we share, and not having to work hard with each other.

And so that I don’t miss anyone, I’d like to thank MY FRIENDS, MY FAMILY, AND MY SPIRITUAL FAMILY. THANKS FOR BEING YOU! You know who you are and how special you are to me.

PREFACE

OUT OF LEFT FIELD was birthed out of the life experiences of the Author. Throughout her life, she was labeled different by many. This was, perhaps, because her thought process was ten to fifteen years ahead of her time. She has never been afraid to ask the difficult questions; those questions that would inevitably go against the status quo. She knows what it is to have her differences lead to unacceptance. She recognizes that she is not the only individual who has lived or is living life as a Left Fielder.  

Out of Left Field is a way for her to encourage those that question themselves because of their differences. Through this book, it is the author’s intention to strengthen the hand and heart of those who have once been disregarded. Her aim is to show the reader that the Left Fielder is a designer-made, priceless masterpiece from the hand of God Himself, relevant for these perilous times.

MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR

LET’S TAKE A MOMENT while you are walking on the treadmill, sitting in the recliner, relaxing at the park, riding on your jet, waiting in a doctor’s office, or even confined behind bars to consider this life-changing experience. I really don’t know what you will be doing while reading these words, but I trust that you will take a moment and really hear what I am saying. Let us have a fireside chat and remember let’s keep it real.

What exactly is a Left Fielder?, you may ask. Left Fielders are the Sons of God, both male and female, that are not widely received, nor celebrated, and often grossly misunderstood. In this work, any masculine pronouns such as he, his, or him, when referring to the Left Fielder, is inclusive of both males and females.
