By Tikkira L. Tutman

As a little girl, she expected to one day become a famous basketball player, but once she discovered the power of the written word, her lifes path changed. She found a way to converse and survive by writing, and she hopes to pass that same endurance on to her readers.

Unveiling the Chosen Woman is a chronological journey through one womans life of victories and trials. Tutman has experienced muchthe good and badbut she has learned the good is not as good without the bad as a comparison. After all, there is no light without darkness. There is no victory without defeat.

Hers is a message of survival and triumph over fear. Still, her journey is not yet at an end. Daily she grows stronger, with the power of prayer, exercise, and writing. Some of her words are dark, yes, but she hopes to show that growth comes from the positive and negative aspects of life. Tutman has overcome her battles, and so can you.

I give thanks and honor to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, because without Him none of this would be possible. I would also like to thank my wonderful leader, Apostle Joan B. Sanders, and my dear and loving family for their support.

Growing up I couldn’t really say that I had a talent of my own that no one else in my family acquired, but as I got older I became aware of the gift of poetry given to me by God. But, not long after I discovered this gift, I began to open myself up to it more and let the ideas and feelings turn into words on paper. This was a way to express myself and another way to communicate with the Lord and for Him to communicate with me. I’ve learned to embrace this gift and share it with the readers of today.

Hopefully this collection of poetry will enlighten and bless my readers who choose to make this book a part of their collection.

My Confession

Beneath the wings of prayer, you heard me.

Around all of my foolishness, you never turned your back on me.

And I pray, Dear Lord that I never give you a reason to.

And scarred with pain, you promised to heal me. But, until then,

I strive to serve you.

Strumming the notes of heaven, I long to go with you.

Beating the symbols of Hell, I run away from flames of eternity.

Searching for a love I’ll never find like yours, I thank you Lord for Calvary.

Wearing the cloak of burdens, it seems, they’ll never end.

Drinking from the cup of misery, I fall into a pool of hope.

And yet dialing the number of days, I know I have no control over, I still add the years to come that I’ll always praise your Name.

Starting out

Walking the Streets of Gold

I’m walking the streets of gold,

the best streets above earth.

I’m walking the streets of gold,

where I’m protected from any curse.

I’m walking the streets of gold,

where I’m living all of my dreams.
