    About this ebook

    If it had not been for the Lord who was on my side, where would I be. Jesus came into my life and restored me. In the Shadow of His Wings is a collection of poems that God spoke in my spirit as I journey through newness of life. These poems were conceived through much prayer, fasting, dedication, and love for the most High God. In the Shadow of His Wings truly ministers to my spirit and I pray that it does the same for you. Growing up I have always had a passion for poetry, but it wasnt until God touched my soul, that I realized the true purpose for this gift. God blessed me with this gift to perform a service to him; that service is to declare his word, be a witness unto him, to edify and encourage the body of Christ, to draw many hearts to Jesus and to glorify his holy name. Throughout our walk with God we encounter trials, tests, and tribulations, but God lets us know to be of good cheer, for he has overcome the world. In the Shadow of His Wings contain golden nuggets to remind us that nothing shall separate us from the love of Christ and we must walk this walk by faith, knowing that greater is our reward in Heaven. This book consists of many personal and intimate encounters with Jesus that I share with you, from my heart to yours; this is my testimony.

      Acknowledgements

      I want to first recognized my true love, my first love, the one that loves me in spite of me, the one that saw purpose in me when all I saw was lost hope; my Lord, my Savior, Jesus. I thank God for birthing the gift of poetry from my womb. All the glory belongs to the Lord, I present myself to him as a yielded vessel and a servant to share this gift that he has blessed me with.

      I thank God for my daughter Nyla who always has a word of encouragement when hearing my poetry.

      In loving memory of my father Andre Jones, who always saw the best in me and always believed in my God given gift of poetry. Being a poet himself we shared many days and nights of writing and reciting poetry together; he is dearly loved and missed.

      God bless my mother for her many prayers; I love you mom.

      It is truly a blessing to have sisters in Christ like Carolyn who has interceded in prayer on my behalf, who has been a sister that speaks the truth, a sister that has seen the vision in times of blurriness, a sister who listens and cares. Carolyn has been there to read, edit and critique my poetry for years with no complaints and I thank God for her.

      For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them Matthew 18:20 KJV Thank God for my dear friend Angela. Together we have fasted, prayed and laid at the feet of Jesus. My friend Angela has labored with me in prayer and I thank God for allowing us to be burden bearers one to another; I love you Angela.

      Thank God for my family, friends and all my brothers and sisters in Christ that God have allowed me to cross paths with. To the saints at True Love Divine, Lively Hope, Bread of Life, and Holy Temple; thank you for the multitude of prayers, support and love from you all.

      To Pastor David Battle for your love, prayers and wisdom during my time of fellowship at Bread of Life.

      To my pastor, Larry Holt for spiritual covering and loving counsel.
