Hello,
I am Lucille Taylor, my friends call me Lucy.
I not only want to introduce to you my book -
"A MESSAGE FROM WARRIORS OFF THE BATTLEFIELD", but I wanted to
take just a moment to introduce to you ME, the author of the book.
For those of you who want to know the deep dark secrets from
whence this book came from, there are none. We all have made
mistakes growing up, walking away from god’s will, God’s way,
God’s purpose, and walking away from the truth of who you are in
Christ.
I was truly blessed in growing up with a corrupt foundation. My
strengths, my skill, my talents, my genes, came from my Great
Grandmother, my Grandmother, and my Mother.
The corrupt foundation came from the world we existed in. One
might have called it misguided trust and misguided faith and just
the belief that God exist and nothing else.
Looking for love in all the wrong places and sometimes finding the
wrong kind of love, or what we thought was love. But not true
love, not like the love of the one and only father of all.
In growing up my Great Grand mother was know for being straight
forward and to the point. You could describe her as direct,
forward and somewhat aggressive, but she always carried herself
with authority. She was a strong believer in what you see is what
you get. She taught me to have very little faith in man, and don’t
believe everything I see. She would use phrases like; regardless
of what you do or how you do it always be true to yourself, even
if no one else, and you never let your left hand know what you
right hand is doing, and what ever you do always remember you are
the queen of your castle.
Now the greater influence in my life was my Grand Mother. Even
though one would not believe it if you heard us argue, she would
say, this was a clear case of mind over matter and what she said
matters.
When thinking of my Grandmother, first thing that comes to mind
was her cunningness, and her ability to charm a snake and to see
my Grand Mother manipulate any giving situation place before her
was something to see.
In watching my Grandmother’s manipulation techniques, and learning
as she uses her communication skills, which is how I became so
articulate. My Grand Mother was believed to be a jack of all
trades master of none, and had a mind for business. Seeing her
determination to succeed in any task or project she took on, had
an great impact on what type of adult I would become, I learned to
make decisions with my mind not my heart, she always discouraged
emotional decisions.
Now the words of wisdom I heard from my Grandmother were; never
look down when walking, always keep your head high, always carry
yourself like a queen, even if you become ashamed never look down,
and never allow anyone to see you cry.
Now I know my Grandmother shed some tears during her life time but
only those who she called sis had the privilege to wittiness her
hurt and offer a shoulder to cry on while she smile when facing
outsiders outside her world, and it was so confusing for me at
times growing up because it seen like their strengths covered up
there weaknesses from the world we live in. Only a select few has
the whole story and then that story is still broken up between
different individuals.
To my understanding it was my Great, Great Grandmother who said
each woman had a woman because in my family you obtained
responsibilities at an early age, and it was my Grandmother who
said, four queens can not live in one castle but for a short time.
For those who get into astrology; my Great Grandmother was a
Scorpio, my Grand Mother was a Capricorn, my Mother was a cancer,
and I am a Libra with God now weighing my scales.
Now as I move on to my Mother whose strengths were misunderstood
and taken for granted for her strength was her meekness, which I
always viewed as a weakness in earlier years growing up. With
seeing my Mother’s soft heart and her ability to take on
everybody’s problems but over looking what it was doing to her
emotionally, encouraged me to be more like my Grand Mother, but
yet attempt to find who I was and where I was going in life.
So, as I got older there was a wall of defense formed around me,
holding in all gifts and talents, and skills within that wall
except for what was needed to get me by any situation.
My foundation was built on the belief of God, no understanding of
faith, or trust, and no understanding of the Holy Spirit.
But then I moved from north mid west Minneapolis MN to Atlanta GA,
where people were different, the life style was different and
something started changing in me as I got older.
The hunger for truth and peace, and once that hunger developed God
started placing people in my life like Rev. W, Broughton, Shirley
Williams, Lucille Croumel, and others who would help me to open
the door of my heart, which was so heavily protected and break
down the defenses which kept my emotions captive along with all
the gifts, skills, and talents given at birth and obtained in
earlier years. Now once the doors were open to my heart and I
started learning more about what real Godly love was.
Upon losing my Mother, my Grandmother and my Great Grand Mother, I
found there were others who were also praying for me and standing
up for me, like Anna Grant, Charlie and Julie Adams and as a
member myself of Victory World Outreach (VWO) Church, I also had
the support of other members of the VWO family as well.
And a list of others mentioned on the back
thank you page, when I could not stand up for myself at the alter,
they were lifting me high, and bringing peace and comfort to a
broken heart and broken spirit.
Now with being the focal point of this praying alliance, helping
me to break down the defenses and soften my will of resistance to
the love of God and uncovering all the hidden talents and skills
hid deep beneath the surface, and encouraging me to use each and
everyone of them of glorify and uplift others and shine as bright
as the sun itself.
This book is my way of showing appreciation for never giving up
even when they became tired they never stop praying or encouraging
me to let my light shine.
It is said, as you get older you find that your views and opinions
change just as life it self changes. Then you start trying to
build a foundation on something other than what you were taught,
or shown, you find yourself attempting to stand on your own two
feet without the influences of where you came from, but how easy
is that to do?
How easy is that to do without judgment or criticism?
The book, "A MESSAGE FROM WARRIORS OFF THE BATTLEFIELD" expresses
these same views.
Reminding us to examine ourselves, our hearts first before looking
at others, and replacing self pity with truth, and replacing the
confusion and anger with understanding, compassion and love.
SO
CHECK IT OUT, YOU MAY FIND SOMETHING YOU HAVE BEEN MISSING!
