About this ebook
Salee Davids
I was born and raised in a Christian home. My ancestors were Christians for generations. I am a university graduate, majored in Economics. I had all plans to become a successful Entrepreneur on my own and marry later on, and expand or create an empire with the man someday I would marry. I wanted a large family, lots of children. I grew up in a large family. But destiny took me in a different direction. I am now a single woman, have two adult children from my marriage. They are both done their college/university studies and presently working. One is married and my second daughter is not married yet.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
DEDICATION
I like to dedicate this book to my heavenly Father my creator, my Savior Lord Jesus Christ, and MY BEST FRIEND the Holy Spirit. I would also like to dedicate it to my parents whom God chose to give me this earthly life. I also dedicate this book to my two sweet daughters, without their love, support and encouragement I couldn’t have done it at all. I Love you both so much.
WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR?
This book is for anyone and everyone who is looking for a happy life. It doesn’t matter how old you are, what gender you are, what your nationality is, or what language you speak. God created everyone. He speaks every language (He created that too). Let me explain. There is a way you can have a PERSONAL relationship with the creator of the universe. You think I’m joking. No, I’m as serious as the sun rises every morning! The relationship is with the One who created the Sun, the Moon, the Stars and everything else. How is that possible?
you may ask, or you already know about it but didn’t think it was for you. Or maybe there was a time in your life when you thought you were going in that direction, but halfway through you gave up because of lack of encouragement when you encountered difficulties. It is never too late. It’s ok, you are in the right place at the right time. Read on . . . .
INTRODUCTION
The Lord laid it on my heart to write this book over 2 years ago. He gave me the name of the book first. Since I’m involved in ministries in my church, at first I thought that name was something related to a ministry. Then the idea came to my mind to write this book. One day somebody I know with the gift of prophecy was talking to me about writing a book. In the middle of our conversation as we were in my car driving somewhere she said, The Lord said something about writing a book
. However, she didn’t make it very clear, other than the Lord said something about writing a book. I responded by saying, really?
She said yeah, but I don’t know anything about writing
.
Right away, the Spirit of God translated it for me. "She is talking about you writing the book. Slowly I started writing, but I would say I didn’t get the proper anointing till recently. Trust me, it is more or less like God telling me
just do it and I said
yes, Lord".
God can use each one of you to bring glory and honor to His name. I am trusting in the Lord that this book will go out and get the attention of:
1. Young people: You need to commit your life to Jesus. Read this book and make the decisions regarding your future, whatever they may be. The Holy Spirit (Spirit of God) is your counselor. If you haven’t surrendered your life to Jesus, I pray that you will do it, and this book will help you significantly.
2. People who have made mistakes in the past: You made wrong choices, or you even thought you heard from God, but you really didn’t hear it right. God is a God of SECOND CHANCES. I trust and pray that sharing my story will encourage you to rethink and recommit your plans to God.
The purpose of writing this book is to tell others how wonderful it is
