Hello Bishop Brailsford, so sorry for the delay; but I am just now seeing your message. Thank you so much, but I am not available. I so appreciate the invitation and wish the best for you and your congregation. May God continue to bless your life with great things.

I step away from it, when I see that there is nothing happening, and I pray and ask the Holy Spirit to speak through me in my writing - then I sit back and watch God work through me. Sometimes, it may be days, and nothing is happening - that's okay, I know if I am suppose to be writing on a particular subject, God will move when the time is right. The key is to be ready, and when the time is right, I am rushed with information that comes to me. Sometimes I have to stop and write it down at that moment so I don't forget; and then I adjust it later. I believe when God has an assignment for you to do, you will not rest until you have completed it. When the Holy Spirit first spoke to my heart to write my first book, I was shocked myself, but very willing and excited to take on this assignment. I am still amazed on how God can take the simple things of this world and use them for His Glory.

The best thing for me is being able to tell my personal story within my topics and the gratefulness that comes from knowing and seeing how God can use you for His glory.

Don't be discouraged, if it seems to be taking a long time to finish. When God spoke to my heart to write my first book back in 2008, it was 11 years later when I finished it. I wrote a little bit here and there, and sometimes I would go months and not write anything. But when it was time for me to write, I would wake up in the middle of the night and would end up writing pages upon pages. Oh, and one other thing, I did not tell anybody that I was writing a book for 11 years until it was in print. The only person I told was my husband and that was not until 2-3 years before it went into publication. When I first started writing my book, I was not married - that happened later during the process. So, I had to encourage myself during the tough and difficult times. Learn how to encourage yourself in the Lord.

I currently have in production Book #3 - GOD is SPEAKING to YOU, which should be released by the end of December 2022 or by early January 2023. I am also working on my fourth book, titled - LIFE after DEATH (Heaven and Hell are Real Places), which I hope to have published and released by the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024.

Solely as I believe the Lord is speaking to my heart to address issues, based on the strong burden God has placed on my heart.

While I was sitting in church during the altar call, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart to write a book that would be encouraging to anyone that was not solid in their relationship with Jesus Christ. My heart is seriously moved when people come to the altar for rededication after backsliding. It is hard to understand why they come up front for this and not just go to God on their own and repent and ask God to forgive them. When you have already given your life to the Lord, why do have to go up front to rededicate, God never left you. He is right there with you at all times, you can pray, repent, and ask God to forgive you and to create in you a clean heart and renew a right spirit within you. Nobody else can do this for you, you have the open door to come to God on your own. But like I mention in my book, do what makes you feel comfortable, if you need someone to pray with you and help to walk you through this, then by all means do this. That's why I wrote the book, to help encourage others to spend time with God by reading His Word, this will help to increase your confidence and build a stronger foundation with God, so you are able to stand on your own. We must take the time to spend quality time with the Lord, so when things like this happen, such as, if you backslide and you come to realize there is nothing else and no one else out there that can bring satisfaction to your soul. Then you will already know that you can run to God and pour your heart out to Him in all sincerity. You can ask God to forgive you and to wash you clean in the Blood of Jesus Christ. Remember, know how to encourage yourself in the Lord, for the times you may not have access to the Church and there is no altar that you can come to; so, then what will you do? You then would have no one to walk you through, you will have to know how to walk yourself through and do your own private praying. Spend time in God's presence so you will know Him for yourself, and not have to rely on someone else's relationship with God - you will have your own.
