Come alongside Author Mercedes as she shares her life, the essence of God's grace. "Honor and glory to the most high God! Although I went through a series of trials and tribulations, there were many blessings woven into my story. I am most grateful for my Great Aunt, who is also my mom. I would not be the writer I am today if my mom did not see the gift God blessed me with. Romans 5:3-5 not only says, but taught me, And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing tribulations produce perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. I am blessed to write from a perspective of forgiveness, gratitude, and rejoicing because of those scriptures."
