Keep Smiling, Standing Strong

Revelation is a beautiful thing! Keep Smiling, Standing Strong is about revelation and using three aspects of life as a teacher. No matter what situation we find ourselves in, God can help us grow and change if we open our hearts and let him in. We need to observe the mountain the leaf, the bird, the sea We need to need God in the mist of humanity All things are possible, and the poems in Keep Smiling, Standing Strong will raise the following questions: How do we see ourselves, others, and the world? What should we be grateful for? Does our spiritual life impact our personal growth and purpose? What can we do? Anything we put our minds to! Experiences teach us who we are, and they help us understand others. We cannot move forward until we learn the lessons we are destined to encounter. But knowing who we are is not possible unless we tap into our spiritual self. That's the good thing! When we know who we are, we have the power to smile and stand strong. The realities, confrontations, and experiences we encounter are just stepping stones we need to propell us to our next level of living. This is the message weaved into the poems of Keep Smiling, Standing Strong. This book of mostly testimonial poems will challenge, change and inspire the reader to keep on keeping on, no matter what comes or does not come through their story-like quality. They are easy to read poems written to motivate the reader to think, stretch, and be what God intended minus the games and fakery we have come to know in the world. Here is the one thing I learned in the mist of so much uncertainty in our world: We can take comfort in God. He knows everything we are dealing with. He knows, cares, and loves us, unconditionally. So, keep smiling, standing strong! If God is for us, who can be against us?
