It Is Written
It Is Written
by Becky DeWitt
Your life is by design, written by the Creator of all things. The blueprint was in existence before you were. Every sentence in every paragraph of each chapter of your book of life contains the secrets, mysteries, and revelations of His plan for you. So there is nothing about you or nothing that happens to you that surprises God!
You may be surprised about those things that have manifested and yet to be revealed. Just remember who wrote your book. “You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit. How I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all stages of my life were spread out before you. The days of my life were all prepared before I lived one day.” (Psalm 139:16-The Message).

Persevering Through Road Blocks
by Alvin C. Romer
You consider yourself a good Christian, you pay your tithes, study the word diligently, work to build up the Kingdom and talk to God daily with incessant prayer. During the course of your lifetime you will endeavor to take a trip, traveling to some predestined locale with purposeful intent. Your mind is made up and you need to get there no matter the circumstances. Despite anything that would prevent you from moving forward, you’re on a mission.
INTERVIEW | Mesha Coleman
Mesha, describe yourself for our visitors.
I am a wife of almost 10 years to my college sweetheart and my biggest fan. I am a mother to a beautiful and intelligent 12 year-old step daughter and our ever growing, inquisitive 4 year-old daughter. When I do have free time I am a lover of everything musical. The praise dance ministry at my church is my form of praise to my heavenly father. I give back to my community by being a life time committed member of Delta Sigma Theta. I began writing with a love of poetry that God blessed into an ability to write stories…this lead to the release of my first book “A Big Girl’s Blues”.
Grant Funding For Women in 2009; Still Time To Apply
Columbus, OH – Despite a bad economy, grant-making organizations have continued to allocate more funding to women this year and for 2010. Grants are often used by women to start or expand a business, attend college, pay off loans, and/or launch a non-profit organization to help other women.
Big organizations, such as the American Association of University Women (www.aauw.org), are already making their 2010 applications available for interested ones to apply for fellowships, career development grants, and community action grants.
SNEAK PEEK | Mom’s the Word
Mom’s the Word

CHAPTER ONE
“They’re ruining everything.” The words tangled in Karol Simon’s throat.
She watched in horror as a backhoe bit into the tree house she and her family had constructed with their former neighbors and best friends Hope and Singh. The rest of the yard, including Hope’s prize-winning roses and the strawberry bush the children had planted, lay in heaped mounds of roots and blooms.
To Karol, it looked a lot like her life.
Her tears, few at first, now streamed down her face as she watched butterflies and birds flee into her yard to escape the destruction of their homes and so many of Karol’s memories. She wanted to run to her husband, to collapse into his arms . . . Instead, she pulled the curtain back further, using it to wipe her tears.
