    About this ebook

    Christians should have an audacity of faith with an auspicious outlook on life; but instead, we forget to keep our focus in perspective. We all struggle with inadvertent, day to day living and unruly heart interruptions. This, of course, is all along the lines of lifes journey. However in Christ, getting an understanding of our concrete problems becomes water under the bridge. How you perceive your problem will shape and determine your outcome. Your problem can either be deemed as a tool to catapult you into your victory or your spiritual death announcement upon your defeat. Its your call!

    Hidden in the writings of these poetic expressions and emotional odysseys, are minor, yet, helpful tips. One can be mindful that he or she is not alone, and during our struggles they should not be endured alone. We must understand that we need each other no matter what heartache or pains befall us! We need to grasp an understanding of the greatest gift which is LOVE and allow it to flourish throughout our natural being. Once we allow love to rule in our hearts we can expect an increase of happiness in our lives. We must reach our destination by any means necessary! We must be willing to TRULY demonstrate the power AND character of our father by developing in wisdom and maturing in the anointing of love, so that we may reach our destination, as well as successfully accomplish our God given tasks!

    Leslie D. Cooper

    By the grace of God, I was born in 1970 and then born again a second time into the life of Christ in 1989. I have been blessed to be able to extract lessons from excellent mentors and have good fellowship with prominent people of faith. However, living was not always so grand in Christ, but it was and is just as He predicted. My natural life had many failures, disappointments, and heartbreaks just like those of you; but the sad part is that most of those heartaches and pains came from people of faith. Though the arrows of life struck me, I found the will to press on, learning that my press was part of my reward, setting me up for greater achievements. All I could do was embrace Christ. I understand that He is my example, so the only thing that I must try to do is overcome the world as well. Overcome for the love of my child and my fellow siblings, for I refuse to allow my living to be in vain. In journaling my life, I learned that I possessed many talents and decided to build on them. Though I tapped into the areas of nutrition and drama, I found peace in writing poetry and short stories. I began to write just for leisure. Some of the poems were from experience, and some were fictional experiences. To my surprise, I never fathomed that some of them would minister to me in the future. They became prophetic expressions and words of encouragement for me. I found the will to live and battle in the wars of life. I vowed to encourage others as much as I can, as we straddle along the war zones wounded. For it is God's goal that we live out His calling and purpose and that none perish. And, if I can be a blessing through the talents that God has placed within me, I can be confident that my living is not in vain, for surely I can deliver balm to someone's aid if not healing.
