About this ebook
Flying with clipped wings began as a sermon but turned into the testimonial of a young lady who, despite the clipped wings of rejection, neglect, and abuse, she was able to rise above the adversities in her life and soar all because of Jesus, the wind beneath her wings.

lying with Clipped Wings
is a powerful book by Pastor Joyce Hope. Throughout her life, she faced rejection and was hindered by those who couldn’t see her potential. When she was going through the motions in life, God spoke to her, Flying with Clipped Wings.
When she heard those words, a light bulb went off in her mind and she did her research. Inside this book, she will share revelatory information with you. We can all relate to Joyce’s story because we have gone through trials and experienced setbacks and rejection. However, Joyce didn’t quit and now we see her walking in her God-given purpose today. Let this book, Flying with Clipped Wings,
encourage you on your journey.

his book is dedicated
to my mother, Annie E. Hope, whose strength I have inherited.
Ma, I miss you so much. You are always in my heart.
To my children, Shekinah and Philip, thank you so much for the many years of patiently riding with me through my deliverance process.
To my twin sister Doris, you are the wind beneath my wings. Thank you for helping me get my voice back.
To my shepherd Mother Hattie Green, you inspired me throughout the past 30 years to be who God called me to be
COLOR ME HUMAN
By Indigo Soul
Color me human.
Color me Human.
For I am a perfectly painted
blemish created
in an imperfect image.
I have been shaped by mistakes.
Just hold a mirror up to my errors, and you can see reflections of life lessons upon
my face.
I am a victim of chance.
A poster child for trials.
I learned to walk by falling.
I stumbled over faults
until I learned to stack them
in piles.
My smile is bent.
My heart has a dent.
My beauty is a flaw that
acceptance
reinvents.
I am a blessing known as flesh
and bone, I bleed, I breathe, and these scars
I own, show that with failure comes wings,
proven that I have grown.
I was born in sin, till born again, then
bruised by He who cast the first stone.
My life is a vision imprisoned within decisions,
I’ve fallen and I have risen, and
I’ve died inside, murdered by pride but resuscitated by wisdom.
Judge me. Shrug me.
Hate Me. Love Me.
Push Me. Shove Me.
Accept Me. Reject Me.
Whether Beautiful or Ugly
Cover me until all truth is blooming.
Whether in darkness or in light, You must
Color Me Human!

oday transparency is a
must. The world is looking for real people who have endured real-life situations.
I’ve got a story that didn’t start with me, but the mercy of God. — Pastor Steven Furtick.
For all of you who walk the straight and narrow line, this book may not be for you. Inside this book, you will read about the good, bad, and ugly truths and reality experienced in a woman’s life. Today, she admits that she has made hundreds of mistakes, bad decisions, and horrible choices, most of them after being saved. Sometimes people will look at a person’s present state but have no idea of the journey it took to get there. I’m so glad that God did not allow my past mistakes to dictate my future. The saying, You see my glory, but you don’t know my story,
is relevant to this book.
Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you— Author Unknown.
As you begin to read the pages of Flying With Clipped Wings, you will walk through the life of a woman who today is over 50 years old but has been on a rollercoaster ride throughout most of her life. She unveils her truths because she decided that she will no longer allow her past mistakes to
