Inspirational Meditations: We Are a Healing Process but Still a Work in Progress

By Celina A. Drake

I am a Christian. I love Jesus Christ in all his entirety. Im a member of a First Corinthian Baptist Church, also known as The Love Family. I wrote this book, Inspirational Meditations to inspire, empower, encourage, and to impact the lives of people facing difficult trials in life. If you are facing difficult challenges in life and are searching for hope, strength, faith, love, and laughter this book will open your horizons to a new view in life. Jesus knows whats best for us; he already supplied everything we need. Its important to remember that many experiences are not good, but they all work together for our good. Think, relate and meditate. Enjoy readers and let it be a blessing for you as it was for me writing it for you.

Its not what we have that determines who we are but its whos you are that reflects who we are.

Celina A. Drake

Hello, my name is Celina Drake and I was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I am a singer, song writer, poet and worshipper of Jesus Christ. I have three talented and gifted children, who are my hearts and joy. If it weren’t for Jesus Christ, none of this would be possible, but through Jesus Christ I can do all things because of the strength he gives me. I am currently on the Mission Board at First Corinthian Baptist Church where I support and inspire those who are in need of help. “A dream cannot be lived unless we believe it can be.”
