INTERVIEW | Michelle Robinson

Michelle, describe yourself for our visitors.

I love music. God fearing. Compassionate. I am a great friend, daughter, cousin, girlfriend, hairstylist, poet, & thinker. I am a humanitarian. My belief is, you owe it to life to be giving to someone else. I have a high moral background. I am a dreamer. As long as you have a dream, life should keep you busy. I am believer that all things are possible. I’m an artist so I think outside of the box. I’m very creative so I don’t take no as option for me. Organized to the point that I can’t function in confusion. I can be the life of the party & I also like spending time alone. And I love taking naps.

How do you find time to connect with God?

I wake up earlier than I need to. Start each day in prayer to talk to God & meditate to hear from God. Worship at church on Sundays & I attend weekly bible study. Twice a week, I fast for clarity or purpose. I pray throughout the day & share Him with anyone who knows Him or needs to get to know Him.

What valuable lessons do you want readers to learn from your book?

To love& trust God through your storms & trust Him to give you what you want on His time. Be patient on your journey so you can learn life’s lessons and help someone else along the way. True friendship should be valued and not envied. Life’s not perfect, but it can seem that way with great friends to share it with. It provides that we are all on the same journey just walking in different shoes. We are all searching for that earthly love that we get from God and our parents. We struggle, we make mistakes, we love, we hate & we forgive. Lastly, we must try to accept people who are different than us. This book has proven that.
