Prior to writing this book, I
prayed to God over a period of two months, asking Him to give me a vision of a
novel to write. I admit I wasn’t
thrilled about the revelation He gave me.
As any other disciplined child of God, I opened my heart wide and
humbled myself unto the sound of His voice.
Although I was terrified of His divine assignment to write a story about
a young African American woman around the age of twenty five, contracting HIV
as the result of being raped by a stranger, I was comforted by His peace that
passes all understanding (refer to Proverbs).
As you read this book, I pray
that you will confront and conquer anything that stands in your way of God’s
mercies in your life.
When God speaks, LISTEN!
When God moves, PAY
ATTENTION!
When God removes it, LET
GO!
There are a lot of people
affected by personal and social injustices.
The silent killer among most African American women is the HIV/AIDS
epidemic. Upon completion of reading
this book, you will be educated and able to raise awareness in your communities
as well as in your personal life.
For those who have been recently
diagnosed, affected by or living with HIV/AIDS, my prayer is that you too will
live a blessed life daily. God wanted me
to let you know through this writing, that you have another chance to live!
May
God continue to bless you!
******************************************************
To the community of people
living with HIV/AIDS, I embrace your courage and strength to allow us (society)
into the innermost privacy of your life.
Through countless avenues of research and agencies involvement in
helping society be educated, prevent and raise awareness of HIV/AIDS.
I do believe that there’s a balm
in Gilead for a cure someday. Lift your
heads high and continue to press toward the high call of God and share your
story to give a hand of hope to someone else.
Life for you is not over. Now is
the time to LIVE a life of victory. Know
that you are not alone and that this battle belongs to the Lord.
I was once a broken vessel, but
God pieced me back to wholeness. Pray and ask God to continue to keep your mind
and heart stayed on Him. When you let go
of your situation, you allow God to do His divine will in your life. There’s nothing greater in life than to have
God’s anointing and blessings covering your life.
Be
Blessed,
Felicia T. Simpson
