A Book of Sharing, Teaching, Exhortation, & Encouragement

Told by doctors there was a possibility of not being able to walk again, Donna held to God’s Word, “He was wounded … and with His stripes we are healed.” “Who His own self bare our sins … by whose stripes ye were healed.” Donna A’Lysa Houston Sherrard was born in Los Angeles, CA, raised in the inner city – Compton, CA, and has learned first hand what it means to overcome negative prophecies spoken over one’s life. Battling through obstacles of various sorts, she understands why someone wants to give up, sit themselves down, and/or give in to others saying to them ‘you’ll never be nothing’. A Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Donna has learned how to rise above negative talk, and is dedicated to motivating and encouraging others. Donna has taken what gifts God has naturally and spiritually bestowed upon her and uses them to comfort, exhort, and edify others who find themselves struggling from day to day as she speaks life into their inner man (spirit), reminding them who they are or can be in Christ Jesus. Share in the joy as you take the voyage thru her writings of how she always placed Christ higher than her circumstances and dilemmas. Learn how to apply God’s Holy Word to overcoming obstacles in your own life, as you too learn to ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY we call life, and LIVE ABOVE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES.
