Flora Young acknowledges her Lord and Savior for his numerous blessings as she has journeyed through this life. This book of poetry has been created as she traveled through many circumstances and situations. The poetry allows others to see and hear from a woman who has crossed through many layers of life. She wants others to know that God has never forsaken her and has been her Provision and Protection in her earthly life. She proclaims that she is who God says she is and through adversity she yet holds on. Each poem is designed to encourage others to seek a deep life in God and reflect on where He has brought us through rough circumstances. She declares that each of us has differing layers of life that are rooted and grounded in the word of the Lord. This book is a VOICE OF ENCOURAGEMENT that highlights journeying with God through each day and moment of earthly life. She planted seeds such as “Not For Sale”; “Think on These Things”; “Because He Did, I Can”; “Timeline Reflections”; “Kept By The Best”; and “Common Ground” to reach out to others to be encouraged through their life’s journey. God still performs some mighty alterations on this once shy, timid woman of faith. Each layer of these poems is a lesson. Each poem shows that she is marching on in faith through each word, each sentence and each thought. This book gives the readers a reason to shout and keep moving forward.
