and grandparents who truly loved the Lord. I
thank them for providing me with the knowledge
of the Holy Bible and for inspiring me to do
God’s will.
The loss of my father, Rev Joe Manuel on
December 8, 2006, grandmother Mrs. Jimmie L.
Bither on May 23, 2006 and the loss of my mother
Shirley J. Manuel on March 29, 2014, took a toll
on my strength. Nevertheless, through my faith
in the almighty God my strength was renewed.
My dad had a special connection with God. He
taught me to put God first, and all things would
happen in the proper time according to the will of
God. I saw a light in my father, which made my faith
even stronger. My dad was a remarkable man who
was a servant for the Lord. As a father, he was my
preacher, teacher, provider and protector.
My mother whom I love and adore; was the core of
my being. My mom always showed love, compassion,
and support; she never questioned who I would
become. She was the greatest mom ever. She gave
me life on February 4, 1962, in Jackson, Mississippi.
My parents relocated our family to Los Angeles,
California when I was seven years old.
My grandmother was the driving force in her
families’ lives. She never held her tongue; she
encouraged when encouragement was needed. She
was connect to God in a profound way, she was
a praying grandmother. Being in her presence
I felt safe, as if angels were always dancing around
my head. What an awesome feeling!
Also, my son Marvin who lights up my life through
his determination to seek the best life possible;
his quest for education is phenomenal. With the
guidance of my parents, I know that I encouraged
my son to put God first in all aspects of his life
and he would reap the benefits of prosperity.
Through my journey, I found it amazing how
the death of my father, mother and grandmother
inspired me to express myself through poetry. In
many of the phases throughout this book, I found
myself searching for answers related to my losses.
My answers were in my heart, they were pure and
simple, they corresponded through the faith that
I have in God. I now spend time getting to know
myself. As you see, I have a true love for God.lihat lebih sedikit
