By Claudia Butler Torres

The Birthing of Touch the Source, use your substance, was birth through the leading of the Holy Ghost. The spirit of God spoke to the writer, first in April 2008 about what her assignment would be: therefore, her first book name would be How to know God in a greater way. However, this endeavorment process of writing and having many trials and tribulations came to a stop. The writer knew that much was needed to complete the great assignment. She began to write another creation of God a book of poetry with the leading of the Holy Ghost in March 2009. The writer says that our God is a creator of all things and has many strategies for his people. This book of poetry is the writer first book and to God be the Glory as the head of her life. You see God Love you and the writer, so much that he touches all. The writer says God has not cast you away.

Dedication

This poem is with great respect for My Aunt Doris who has inspired Me: therefore, I have been able to move forward over the years in God. When I talk to her I can always pull something out of her to push me toward God purpose for my life. I celebrate you with a little something that you gave to me In Jesus name.

God is strong

I look in the clouds

Clouds that are white

They are beautiful

Clouds that move

When I saw the clouds moving

I start talking to God

Cloud that’s going up

I see the cloud that were moving

God you can do anything

Lord I love you, so much

Help lord in all area in my life

Let your Glory come and your kingdom rain

GOD BLESS YOU,

Resa
