    About this ebook

    GODS WORDS
    PLAIN and SIMPLE

    I bring to you a book of poems that is plain and simple from the start
    No enormous collegiate words; only the feelings that flow from my heart

    It is not just about professionalism, intelligence or eloquence, you see
    It is about being obedient to God and allowing him to use me the way he choose to use me

    It is about ministering to all of Gods children and drawing them near to Christ
    And reassuring them that, even thru their storms, they may still have peace and joy in this life

    So God, I pray that all around the world, someone will be drawn near to you from a poem that is heard
    And I thank you for using me to minister to others, Plain and Simple, Gods Words!

    RAYNA ROXANNE

    Rayna Roxanne is a strong soldier in the army of the Lord who is totally devoted to uplifting the body of Jesus Christ and advancing the Kingdom of God throughout the earth. God has equipped her with many gifts and talents that help her reach the world one soul at a time. I am thankful that divine intervention brought us together for a purpose greater than ourselves. I have been blessed to know Rayna for over two decades; and from the moment we met, I knew that there was something special about her. We were both so young, barely in the eighth grade and from such different worlds. Through her smile, her exterior was rough and defensive. It was obvious that she had grown up fighting and constantly protecting herself. She was a very bright student and I admired how Math and English curriculum came effortlessly to her. Like most adolescents, she felt misunderstood; she was lost. I remember, feeling as if she was missing the crucial support needed for her development from a girl to a young lady. She knew a lot; those big beautiful eyes had seen too much in a short time. On the opposite end, I had grown up very sheltered. My parents were very busy and loving pastors; and what Rayna knew intrigued me. It was so different from what I had always known. She was a survivor with a deep longing to feel special and know the unconditional love of Jesus Christ. Throughout the years we have made many mistakes together. We have developed into God fearing women with ministries and a passion for the will of God. I will never forget how we have lost, loved, learned, prayed, and felt great pain together. We also rejoiced, laughed, cooked, and cried, then, laughed some more, together!! Amazingly, through it all we have remained unconditional friends. And we will glorify God and WIN together. 1 Chronicles 29:11 says: Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all. God has a way of giving you enough of what you need so that there is plenty to give to others. Rayna has a gift of touching the hearts of others with honesty and by walking in the spirit of love. 1 Thessalonians 3:12 says: And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you. Her poetry will reach the world right where they are, and with plain and simple words so that all may understand. Rayna is originally from Little Rock, Arkansas and currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia where she has been a resident for five years. She is a wonderful mother of four beautiful children and one energetic grandchild. They are all unique and require individual attention, yet, she finds a way to make them all feel special and loved. Her children will soon rise up and call her blessed. I feel extremely blessed to call her my friend. -Bethany Devine-

      Acknowledgments

      I would like to thank God for graciously giving, to me, the gift of writing. I know it has come from Him and no one else, and I could not have done it without him. I would also like to thank my beautiful children, Chantrelle, Jamon, Anthony Jr. and Jarren; and my grandson, Markel for enduring all the trying times we have had together. I praise God that He has given me such strong and faithful children. They could have turned to the world, instead, they held on to their faith, in God, and stuck it out with momma; and I love them for that. You all are very dear to my heart and I want to, humbly, say thank you.

      I want to show my appreciation to those who have encouraged and inspired me thru this journey, as well; Reverend Brian Lipscomb, Ms. Annett Everett, Andrea Watson-Harris, Mrs. Ercille Devine, Bethany Devine, Sister Mary Woods, Camille Pollard; and last but not least, my mother, Opaline Lynn, my sister, Dana Stephens and all of my family and friends. It is truly a blessing to have such wonderful sisters and brothers in Christ supporting me every step of the way. May God keep and bless you in everything you do, according to his will!

      With the love of Christ,

      Ray
