    About this ebook

    Its amazing how God works! Would you ever imagine that you would be where you are today, or accomplish some of the amazing goals you have achieved over the years? God doesnt make mistakes and everything that has happened to you is a part of His divine plan and purpose for your life. Each step of the journey brings you one step closer to your destiny. Destiny is not a destination, but your unique quest to reach your ultimate place in life. Your journey is not for judgment or critics, but to assess your relationship and walk with your Creator.
    Have we all made mistakes, questioned God, and have wondered why these things have happened to you? Have you accepted the fact that you are unique and you have a specific purpose in life? Maybe you are experiencing difficulties or having problems grasping who you are or what can you contribute to the growth of the Kingdom? I know I was once there and throughout this book I expressed my true heartfelt feelings as it relates to this spiritual journey. Looking at the young boy I was, and the young man I became, and how God has transformed me into the man I am today. This is my journey to this point in my life. Not saying that I have all the answers, but I keep pressing until I reach the prize that God has for me, and I challenge you to do the same.
    Strive for perfection, reach for that prize, and overcome each obstacle that may come in your path. Know that God is in control of your destiny and each step is a step closer to you realizing your divine purpose in life. Its through poetry that I get a chance to converse with God and have a dialog thats both frustrating yet very rewarding. Its in those moments that I am true with Him and I hear Him speaking directly to me. I never felt comfortable talking to others, but I found a friend in Jesus who I could express all of my thoughts, fears, ambitions, and aspirations.The book may end yet the journey will continue. Let your Journey begin today, and watch how far God will take you.

    Darian A. Williams

    Darian Williams, currently an accountant in the health care industry, resides in Augusta, Georgia, with his wife. A born-again believer in the gospel of Jesus Christ, his deepest desire is to fully demonstrate his commitment to the Lord with his life. To him the Bible is like a mirror. In order to look and feel better, he always refers to it, and if something is wrong the mirror will show it, so that he can try to make it better.

      Introduction

      Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it, but one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead. I press towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

      Philippians 3: 12-14

      It’s amazing how God works. Would you ever imagine that you would be where you are today or accomplish some of the amazing goals you have achieved over the years.

Have we all made mistakes, questioned God, and have wondered why these things are happening to you? Or have you accepted the fact that you are unique and you have a specific purpose in life? Maybe you are experiencing difficulties and having problems grasping who you are, why you are here, and what can you contribute to the growth of the Kingdom. I know I was once there and throughout this book I try to express my true heartfelt feelings as it relates to this spiritual journey. There is a continuing battle between my spirit and my mind. Looking at the young boy I was, and the young man I became, and how God has transformed me into the man I am today. This is my journey to this point in my life. Not saying that I have all the answers, but I keep pressing until I reach the prize that God has for me, and I challenge you to do the same.

      Strive for perfection, reach for that prize, and overcome each obstacle that may come in your path.

I never felt comfortable talking to others, but I found a friend in Jesus who I could express all of my thoughts, fears, ambitions, and aspirations. Through poetry I could speak my mind without worrying about what others felt about it. It went from an outlet to a passion which I continue to this day. The book may end yet the journey will continue. Let your Journey begin today, and watch how far God will take you.

      Chapter 1

      The Inner War

      The Battle between Your Spirit and Your Mind

      There Is A War Going On

      There is a war going on all the time

      For there is a constant fight between

      Your spirit and your mind

      What can be done, how can you win?

      First one must find that what’s hidden within.

      One must seek that inner glow

      That allows us to decipher yes from no.

      The war will continue day in and day out

      For it kind of reminds you of

      A heavy weight bout

      Except for this fight never comes to an end

      For daily we’ll have our battles with sin

      You need the tools that will only help

      Like the sword, shield, and protective belt.

      Learn the word for it’s like a double edge sword

      Cuts through worries like blades cut through boards

      Read your bible for it’s your protective shield

      For when evil thoughts try to enter the mind

      You’ll remember to do God’s will

      You have the sword and shield

      Now the last tool you need it’s the real deal

      It’s similar to a belt how it

      Holds everything in place

      And when life seems to get you down

      It’ll help you finish the race

      It can be as small as a mustard seed big as a tree

      What I’m speaking of is faith and believing in Thee.

      Believe that He can part your Red sea

      Believe that He actually saved a wretch like me

      Believe that He will cleanse you
