I LOVE the Psalms! They are reminders of God's love that have comforted and inspired me throughout my life. My attempts to read through the entire book of Psalms were sometimes frustrated by my inability to relate to some of them. A few years ago, I felt led to find a way to personalize all 150 Psalms. As I began to share my reflections with others, I was encouraged to publish them, in the hopes that others too would be inspired. This book, "Psalms in the Key of my Life" covers Psalms 1-50. I pray that my writing will bless, comfort or inspire you.
Note from the author: I began this project as a journal. I would read each Psalm in a few different translations, then close my Bible (or computer), and pick up my pen, writing the message I got from that Psalm. Initially, I went in order. It didn't take too long before I began skipping some because I just couldn't relate to them. This book took about five years to finish, and some painful lessons that made the difficult ones easier to relate to. I have found that God gives me exactly what I need for whatever task he has set before me. This book was no exception. I write from the perspective of an African-American woman who was a teacher in an urban public school district, but have had people from all races, ages, genders, and regions tell me they were able to relate to what I was saying, at least for several of the Psalms. Not sure if this book is for you? Try a sample, hopefully, you will find something in my writing that speaks to you as well.
