C onversations from a quest for divine embodies my journey through life to this present point and time. Conversations are the voice inside of each and every one of us that we communicate with from time to time. Some people may say it was the little voice that made me do it. I dont want to sound clich but that is a very true statement. The voice inside of me inspired me to write and want to inspire others through poetry. Quest meaning a journey or in search of. And divine meaning anything Godly, or heavenly. My conversations are basically reports of a diary of my timeline. My conversations are poems which derive from inspirational, to personal, to spiritual. You will be able to witness my passion, my growth, and my transformation throughout this entire book. I start out with inspirational poems about being supreme divine. Then I will allow you to look into my personal life through experiences and lost of love ones. Between me writing about motivation and inspirational poems I got saved and found the Lord. My transformation allowed God to enter my life and Unlock his purpose that he intended for me. My passion has always been to inspire and uplift myself as well as others. Your passion is your desire to achieve what you enjoy doing without having a big financial goal or gain behind it. Some people prefer to be a teacher versus a lawyer or doctor because that is what they enjoy doing. Your passion is not based on money but on self reward. When you align your passion with Gods purpose you will breed success in abundance. This book is my foundation and is thirty plus years in the making. We all embody a composition or novel inside of each and every one of us. I thank God for unlocking me and allowing me to reveal my composition in the form of poetry. This book is so much more than inspirational poems. This book inspires, teaches, and if you dont know God you will definitely learn about him. And if you know God; you be able to fellowship along with me on my journey through the spiritual part of this book. Whether a Christian or not this book has something for everyone and can uplift you through your trials and tribulation and pat you on the back in your triumph. When you read this book you should learn a lot about me and some things that you didnt know about your self. For those of you that know me will learn more about me; and for those who dont know me, will be a learning experience. Thank you again for taking the time out to follow me on my quest for divine; and I hope that you sincerely enjoy this ride.

D ear God almighty allow me to spread your grace through my obedience and anointing. Allow me spread your message that will touch the souls of those in need of your blessings. Lord bless me in favor to symbolize your power and grace and let your will be done. Thank you for your mercy; which is so enduring. Thank you for your grace through faith that we are allowed access to your blessings. Lord I thank you for continuing to bless me with the talent that you have unlocked in me. Lord I thank you for continuing to bless those that are sick and suffering; those that stopped believing in you; and those that have run astray. Lord it is through the blood of Jesus that we all have access to enter the kingdom of heaven. It is through the blood of Jesus that we have redemption of our sins. Lord thank you for saving me through your mercy and grace; through the blood of your son Jesus Christ our Lord and savior; Amen.
