Spirit Train

Ten years ago I set out on a Spiritual Journey. Through the years I have lost friends, both
my father and stepfather, and my favorite aunt, and most of all bad attitudes. Through it all I held on to Gods hand, and He continued to show me that with him I can truly conquer all things including the feat of becoming a whole woman. I learned that I am not defined by others, but I am defined by my love of self, others, and God.

As a single mother and child of God I have endured many obstacles in my journey into self
actualization and spiritual wholeness. Many times I would pray and ask the Lord why do I have
to endure the pain and heartache that I am going through. God let me know that my pain was not in vain and that I needed to write down all the conflicts that I go through as a mother a single woman, and a child of God. These poems and words of wisdom are about how I as a Christian woman have endured trials, and how God has made me victorious over every obstacle in my life.

I pray that my ability to be open and honest about my love for God, my love for myself, and my
love for people as a whole will help someone who feels lost or confused about how to have peace and fulfillment in your journey with Christ.

I was led to name my first book Spirit Train after the revelation that we are all on a Spiritual
Journey to attain wholeness, and our souls are liken to a train. We will come to destinations in our life in which we will have to unload or allow some things to depart from our souls, and minds, and in return we will allow Gods attributes to come aboard and give us the spiritual, and self fulfillment that we so desire to attain.

I give biblical reference to every poem I write I order or you to meditate not only on the
poetry, but on the word of God that inspired the poetry. I have left extra space after each thought of the day in order for you to write down your own thoughts, and do some self exploration. I challenge you to take the Spirit Train, find out the will of God for your life, and move forward infaith, becoming the fulfilled, loving person that God already sees you as.

Be blessed for these words are from my heart and they are inspired by the Heavenly Father
above.
