God's Children's Abc's

While reading to Shaicah, when she was about two years of age (2006), it came to me that I should be pouring into her life every aspect: not just the entertaining part. She should grow up knowing that she is "fearfully and Wonderfully Made" (Psalms 139:14) and that there is a God and that He loves her. She should know that things around her didn't accidentally happen: they were placed herby the All Knowing and The All Powerful God (Genesis Chapter 1). She needs to know that He loves her unconditionally, is ever present, ever faithful and that He has given angels charge over her (Matthew 4:6). I wanted her to know that she is never alone; she can always call the The Father through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Although I knew what I wanted for her, I did nothing but sit and think about it, never actually doing anything to accomplish the task. In February of 2009, I signed up for the Life Changing Institute, Inc. "How to Get Unstuck" given at Hallelujah Christian Fellowship. Dr. Yvonne M. Bennett, professional clinical counselor was our instructor. We were taught how to eliminate procrastination, overcome self-doubt and the fear of failure. I learned how to focus, to set and accomplish small goals first.
Each class member was assigned an encourager. I am so grateful for my encourager, Cathie Gore. I received my certificate of completion on April 25, 2009 and set my text to the U.S. Copyright Office on May 5, 2009.
Thank you so much: Dr. Yvonne M. Bennett, Cathie Gore, my 'sister' and cover designer, Yolanda Jefferson, Ms. Pearlie M. Bulle, co-illustrator and my niece and 'My Partner' , Shaicah.
