more I began writing in my journal, the more I was able to express myself. I expressed myself so much that my jour- nal is now a book telling my story called, “A Mother’s Cry.” That was my first book out of seven that I have written, sharing my testimony. I was no longer quiet. I spoke bold and I spoke loud and shared my testimony with the entire world by selling my book through all major bookstores throughout the US, including eBooks published by my own publishing company, Esquire Publications. God is so good and so won-
derful that He blessed me be- yond anything that I could ever dream of in ways I could never imagine. God helped me and now it was my turn to help others. I now publish over twenty first time authors in counting, giving them an opportunity to be heard. You see, God is using me…to whom much is given, much is required. My Lord laid a bur- den on me to reach out to all domestic abuse victims, which is where Precious Hearts Foundation comes in. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organiza- tion that serves as an aid to men, women, children, and the elderly who are victims of domestic violence. God blessed us with emer-
I was at a very young age and I asked God to let me be able to help people. Those little kid words spoken were actually manifesting into my spirit into adulthood, but in order for me to get the full understanding of what I actually prayed for, God allowed me to go through what I went through so I could be that vessel. I had no idea the pain and hurt you go through when you're being used by God, but I tell you what…I have no regrets and I would go through it all over again because it made me the woman that I am today. I am thankful with all my
heart and grateful to God for even allowing thoughts like that to even enter my mind at such a young age in my life. I may not have known exactly what I was praying, but I knew the concept of “helping oth- ers.” No idea what it all en- tailed until after God brought me out. Precious Hearts Foundation is a not something that was just made up. Pre- cious Hearts Foundation was something that was birthed by my Father in Heaven and He entrusted me with it and gave me the assignment of being my brothers and sisters in Christ keeper. Although we do not have a
gency shelters for men and women. There are so many people out there that are in need and who are hurting. Lord knows I wish I could reach out to every single one of them personally and pro- vide them with what they need. It is a burden that has been placed in my heart to help others and I didn’t realize that until I remembered when
building to be able to house these survivors, I stand before you with confidence in saying that God will make it happen through a grant proposal or someone giving us a building. I have nothing but full faith in my God because He has shown me exactly who He is and what miracles He can per- form. I believe and I receive it.
I am a walking, living testi- mony and I am not the names

my ex-husband said I was. You are only what you answer to and I didn’t answer to any of it. Instead, I took it to my Father in Heaven and He placed a mirror in front of my face and I saw my Father’s daughter. I saw an amazing human being. I saw an intelli- gent woman. I saw a gener- ous soul. I saw a beautiful spirit. I saw Psalm 139:13-15, that I am fearfully and won- derfully made. Yes, fearfully and wonderfully made. When I realized that, I would say it to myself repeatedly to allow it to manifest into my spirit and when I looked a little deeper…I saw the God in me. See God is using me. He
brought me out of so much misery and darkness through His blood and gave me a voice and peace of mind. A little added touch, at the age of 42, He allowed me to hear my ex- husband (after being married for 15 years and divorced for 13), say that he was sorry. Sorry for the hurt he caused our children and me. Sorry for the abuse and pain he in- flicted on me and stated that it was him who did wrong. He said, “he was the one who had the low self-esteem and he was the one who was ugly in- side.” He then asked for for- giveness. What he didn’t know, was
that I had already forgiven him and prayed for him and I taught my children to do the same. I was only able to do that because of God. See God is using me in a
mighty way. Sometimes God will allow things to happen in your life that you feel is hurt- ing you, but all awhile, God is actually using you. God took my situation and experience
