Synopsis "Bonita's Dreams and Visions: Christian Poetry"
Bonita's Dreams and Visions is a book inspired by the life experience of both myself and my friends.The bible says "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." If we truly believe that in our heart and soul, we cannot take it back, so God will never leave us. We leave Him from fear of making mistakes or do God wrong when we don't match up to other people's expectations.Yet He knew we would not be perfect.If Jesus said as men that we should not forgive seven by seven but until seventy by seven, then how much more will God our Father forgive if we try? You see, He created many ways to encourage our Christian journey. The Word, preaching, singing, music, and poetry.On my Christian journey to find answers, I was studying with some Mormons. I stopped by their house to visit, and it was then for the first time in my life that I read "Footprints" on their wall. When I got to the end, it read, "He whispered, 'My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never ever during your trials and testing. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.'" I cried like a little baby.When I finally found what I was looking for (the Holy Spirit), He was just waiting on me just to ask for it. I began to write poems that inspired people like "Footprints" inspired me!I started encouraging everyone and anyone not to give up. I believed if my poetry was written as stories, they would bring the poems to life for all my readers. Then Bonita's Dreams and Visions was born.
