    Author

    Margaret Robinson

    I'm a southern girl raised on homegrown food, fresh out of the garden. My parents were sharecroppers who raised chickens and hogs. We had pecan orchards, peaches and strawberry patches. My dad had what the world calls a green thumb. I call it a gift from God. I call it prosperity; he touched it and it prospered. He also bred dogs and made moonshine in the woods until all hours of the night. He sipped it to perfection, all the while hoping he was not discovered; by the time he made it home it was usually daybreak.One more thing about me - when I was in the world, I was IN!! Understand me, but when God called me out of darkness into His marvelous light I became a peculiar person, I Peter 2:9. Sit back, relax and enjoy.

      Introduction

      Hmmmm. Where do I start? There is so much to tell or should I say share. I remember as though it was just yesterday. I was standing at my kitchen sink, washing dishes - an ordinary day, when I heard the words no ordinary marriage.

      What?! I thought, almost afraid to breathe. I heard it a second time. No ordinary marriage.

      God speaks, yea once, even twice (Job 33:14) and I knew it was Him. I am that I am (Exodus 3:14), so here I am, about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime, in my first book ordained by God; all my trials, tears, tribulations, mistakes, misgivings, pain, pleasure, persistence, persecutions, plights, headaches, heartaches, hurts, healings, storms, stress, struggles, sufferings, longsufferings, sickness, strongholds, strengths, weaknesses, dreams, visions, sin - yes I said sin - we fall down but we get back up again. Thank you, Donnie McClurkin!

      Oh where was I? Yes... arguments, accusations, changes - mental, physical and spiritual - all the while going through the change of life, I might add. Hot flashes, night sweats and even sometimes chills - you will not believe some of the things I’m about to put on paper.

      May God bless each and every reader of this book. May it minister to your very soul. Pick up a copy and remember to pick up one for a friend.

      Thank you, God, for choosing me.

      Note from the Author

      You will find poems throughout this book; many are the work of the author, while others are the work of family members or trusted friends.

      The author of each poem is listed with her work.

      Dedication

      Inspired by the Holy Ghost, my comforter and my keeper.

      Read and enjoy.

      A special thanks to everyone who encouraged me in some way. I love you all. A special thanks to my children who helped make this book possible, especially Brandon, my youngest son.

      A special thanks to authors who played a part in my ministry in everyday life. Dr. Charles Stanley, The Power of The Cross; Kimberly Daniels, From a Mess to a Miracle, Clean House Strong House; Frank and Ida Mae Hammond, Pigs in the Parlor; Ira Milligan, Understanding the Dreams you Dream; and Mary K. Baxter, A Divine Revelation of Hell.

      Special Dedication

      To those who advised me on how to keep my marriage together even when I did not take the advice; of course, I never told you but I paid for it. (I told you this book would make you laugh.)

      Mother Lorraine Smoke, Sister Bonita Taylor, Evangelist Wanda Sykes, Sister Bernita Humphrey, Evangelist Sarah Smoke, Sister Rose Doohart and Minister Patricia Blackman.

      To my children, Antonio, Keisha, Angel and Brandon, who saw a change in me and actually trusted me to minister the word of God to them.

      Thank you. Love,

      Ma

      A Special Page for a Special Purpose

      To everyone who contributed in some way to this book, I say Thanks! and may God continue to bless you and correct you in every area of your life. I love you all with the love of Christ.

      God truly is a miracle worker. I never imagined being an author, but He took my messed up life and called me out of my messed up marriage to write a book. He taught me how to close my mouth and open my Bible. He taught me how to close my legs and open my heart.

      A special thanks goes to my heavenly father, my beautiful children: Antonio, Keisha, Angel and Brandon. To my grandchildren: Kelece, Zedrick, Cam’Ron, Daryl Jr., DaReik, and Elijah, and the one on the way, my six Kings and a Queen, I love you.

      Thanks to Brenda Davis who struck up a conversation with me in CVS pharmacy in Millbrook, Alabama; she started this ball rolling. I’d like to say thank you to evangelist Lynn Taylor, for speaking with me over the phone and passing my work on to Beth Rogers. Beth took time out of her busy schedule to come meet with me; she said she would love to work with me, so now we are on a journey together.

      And thank you to all my prayer partners and intercessors, all those who type the words of this book for me.

      Typists and prayer warriors

      Evangelist Wanda Sykes a.k.a. Fireball

      Typist Keisha McCall – my daughter and one of my biggest supporters (Wanda and Keisha can both write, as well)

      Evangelist Sarah Smoke – prayer warrior – where there is Smoke there is fire

      Those who have prayed me out of the clutches of the enemy on several occasions:

      Evangelist Stephanie Brown (Powerhouse Prayer Warrior), Evangelist Stephanie Williams (Atomic Bomb Prayer Warrior), Pastor O.J. Fenison (for all your prayers and encouragement). Hugs and kisses to my mom, Mrs. Nealia McCall who is 98 years young.

      To my husband and all the men who don’t believe that God will use women - may God bless and keep you. This book is my proof; for all that purchase and read this book - a special thanks to you as well. It has taken 14 years to complete this book. But it is finally done. To God be ALL the glory!!!

      Having to quit work and take care of
