My Walk Through Life as God Orders My Steps: A Collection of Spiritual Poems

By Joyce Joyce Ashton-Douglas

This book is my first attempt to go solo. It is a collection of spiritual poems, prayers and letters to GOD. Writing has helped me retain my sanity through years of troubles, heartaches and pains. I give all praises to GOD for HIS many blessings! Remember, a portion of the proceeds for this book goes to my church.

Joyce Joyce Ashton-Douglas

I am a graduate of "East Livingston High school", "Southeastern Louisiana University" and an online university. I spend much of my time in Louisiana because that's where my heart is. My home church is "Bethelem Baptist Church", pastored by Minister Robert Smith, I am close to "Galilee Baptist Church", pastored by minister Warren Richard, and "Harvest World Outreach", pastored by minister Bray Sibley all located in Louisiana. When in Maryland I attend "The Church on the Rock", pastored by Pastor John Krach. Maryland is where my husband, Jerry Douglas, Sr., my youngest child, Omar Ashton and step-son, Jerry Douglas, Jr. all resides. When I'm in Maryland, I miss my home, Southeast Louisiana and all the wonderful people there. I have three children, Arthur D. Ashton, Cleopha Ashton-Rollins of Louisiana and Omar J. Ashton of Maryland. I, also, have four step children, Jerry Douglas, Jr., of Maryland, Eula Y. Douglas, Michael Douglas both of Louisiana and Terrell Carter of Texas. Although, I'm disabled, I still enjoy outings with my children and grand children. I write mostly spiritual poetry because these are words I somehow see in my mind. I like to think they are messages from God and my ministry is to delivery these words for Him. I give all praises to God for His many blessings.
