By Paulette Martin

Have you ever been a witness to the power of God's love? Have you ever questioned the authenticity of God's working power? If so, this book is for you! Behind the pages of this inspirational memoir is a woman who walked through the fires of life and escaped the jaws of death. Her endurance was not just the ability to bear difficult times but to turn it into glory. Let this book help you learn how to heal from the inside out. The memoir of Psalmist Paulette Martin paints a picture of how one can overcome adversity by faith in God and recover from many debilitating challenges in life and learn the intended lesson despite the wounds of the circumstance to bounce back and spring forward on the journey to one's purpose. Through divine inspiration, this journey and life experiences' mission is to leave a legacy and encourage every man, woman, boy, or girl who has ever been hurt and conditioned to feel as though their life was devalued, rejected, or disconnected from people to whom respect was given but was lacking in return. The unique message in this memoir is to learn how to become healed from the hurt and brokenness from the inside out from a biblical perspective, and to learn to love yourself and others again because of the wisdom gained in the journey.

Idedicate this memoir to my parents, the late Reverend Doctor Morris Smyth and First Lady Lois Smyth, who taught me to be a nurturer, and to my husband David and our family who I love so much. You were there for me even when I felt no one cared during times of hardship, but you gave me to know that you all were there with my angels and willing to make the sacrifice to nurture me back to health with the help of God.

Always remember to put God first in your life and remain faithful for He won’t ever leave you. Trust in God and do His will. Ask and He will send angels to your rescue and encourage you, just like He did for me so many times in every situation.

After reading the book, I am convinced that no pain that we may suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to the development of our patience and faith. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more worthy to be called the children of God.

Paulette beautifully depicts this through her writings that we can obsessively look within and be consumed by our conflicts. Or we can cry out to God, asking Him to embrace us with His healing presence and be who we need Him to be in the moment.

Her testimony assures us that God is not silent. He responds to the heart cry of His people. It doesn’t matter how we format our cries. They can be long hard sighs; deep, guttural groans; or a single word shot toward heaven. He hears and steps into our lives to make a difference.

Paulette teaches us throughout the book to stop bemoaning our pain and
