Najah E. Carrington

Being an inspirational poet and songwriter of heartfelt and emotional poetry and music, Najah finds a secret place in mostly all her writing. Through her poetry, she tries to minister to those who are brokenhearted, lonely, and rejected. She hopes and prays that her poetry will tear down the walls of confusion and loneliness, which can allow the Holy Spirit to uplift and mend the broken soul. It is by the grace of God that permits her to reach the one who will receive God’s total release of what he has gifted her to share through poetry and music. She notes that “out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth does speak” (Matt. 12:34, KJV).

Dedication

I dedicate this entire book to my Almighty Father in Heaven, and my Savior who’s sitting on my Father’s right side (God Almighty and Jesus Christ). Without the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit, this book would not have been completed.

I also dedicate this book to my loving, faithful, and generous husband. He has prayed me through a lot of my struggles and pain, when I couldn’t and sometimes wouldn’t pray for myself. My husband believed in me. I love you Alonza.

Finally, I dedicate this book to my children. To my oldest son, without his challenges, and struggles I couldn’t learn how to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. To my youngest son, without his many tests and tender heart, I couldn’t learn how to trust in the Lord my God for everything. To my only daughter, without her constant pulling and following me everywhere, I couldn’t learn how to wait on the Lord and be of good courage as He strengthens my heart. I love you Rajah, Rahman and Grace.

Acknowledgements

Thank you Alonza my
