    About this ebook

    We all have experienced times in our lives when it seems that God is Nowhere to be found. However, when we stop, refocus and reflect, we understand that God has been with us all along and presently is Now Here. As a traveler on an expedition looking for meaning and purpose, Ursula found this truth and she very methodically walks us through her steps of becoming Alive. She shares her enlightened view as she turns to her Heavenly Father, time after time, encounter after encounter.

    This poetic anthology takes us full circle, from the point of the authors pangs of emotional death to recovery, to becoming completely revived. She becomes Alive after recognizing and acknowledging The Gift that had been designated and reserved for her to deliver before the foundation of the world. This gift, once opened and consumed, will release within each reader the sweet fragrance of love, joy, peace and happiness.

    It is with immense pleasure that I present to you, a book that will change your life. My prayer is that you take the time out for yourself, perhaps enjoy a refreshing cup of tea, and allow your imagination to take you on a journey that strikes a chord of familiarity as you reflect upon your own life and become
    Alive! - Reconnected and Revived.

    Ursula Denise Walker

    Ursula Denise Walker and her husband, Richard, of 27 years, reside in Altadena, California where they have raised three children—a teenage daughter; Andrea, and two adult children; Christopher and Nicole. They also are the proud grandparents of two granddaughters; Alexis and Brooklyn. Although a native of Los Angeles, California, Ursula jokingly refers to herself as a “Southern Girl” because of the loving influence of her late father, the Rev. John Black, Sr., whose roots were in Pinola, Mississippi. Ursula has many fond childhood memories of family summer time trips from their California home to the birthplace of her dad where she and her brother enjoyed the annual breaks from their city living experiences to gain a taste of the unpretentious farm lives of their grandmother, uncles, aunts and many cousins. Since she began writing short stories and poems as a child, Ursula is most comfortable with this form of expression—it is her passion. Besides writing, Ursula enjoys interacting with her family and friends, singing in her church choir, cooking, taking long walks, and reading. She is known for her nurturing characteristics and often quotes the adages of her father while sharing his many entertaining farm life analogies as a means to express an encouraging thought. Employed as an office manager for a consulting firm in Los Angeles, Ursula enjoys interacting with her co-workers and she takes pride in offering excellent customer service to the firm’s clients. Although this is her first published work, she has many other projects in mind. Her sincere desire is that this collection of spoken word will help to draw her readers into a deeper knowledge of God's love and grace. Ursula Walker has a Facebook Page and can be reached by e-mail at: wursula@ymail.com. In addition she can be reached through her website: http://alivereconnectedrevived.weebly.com.

      Foreword

      Approximately 27 years ago, I was blessed to meet Ursula Black as she united in marriage with one of my godsons, Richard Walker. I am privileged to have witnessed Ursula’s spiritual development and can say without a doubt that her life experiences qualify her to present this poetic gift to you.

      We all have experienced times in our lives when it seems like God is Nowhere to be found. However, when we stop, refocus and reflect, we realize that God has been there all the time and presently is "Now here. Ursula also found this to be true as she searched and found her path. As a traveler on an expedition looking for meaning and purpose, she truly and methodically walks us through the process of becoming Alive". In walking with Ursula, we are able to see her enlightened view as she turns to her Heavenly Father, time after time, encounter after encounter.

      This poetic anthology takes us full circle, moving us from the point of the author’s pangs of emotional death to being revived. She becomes Alive after recognizing and acknowledging The Gift that had been designated and reserved for her to deliver before the foundation of the world. This gift, once opened and consumed, will release within each reader the sweet fragrance of love, joy, peace and happiness.

      It is with immense pleasure that I introduce to you, a book that will change your life. My prayer is that you take the time out for yourself, perhaps enjoy a refreshing cup of tea, and allow your imagination to take you on a journey that strikes a chord of familiarity as you reflect upon your own life and become . . .
