Angels Are Watching

Angels - Celestial beings, heavenly host, God's messengers.

      Angels are they real or fiction? Or, are they just some mythical creatures from long ago?  I personally believe that Angels exist, not just because the bible says so but because I have had a close encounter with the heavenly kind.  Here's my story: It was one winter night, my family and I  had gone to bed.  Before I went to sleep; I prayed a prayer asking God to place his Angels around my family to keep us all safe as we slept.  I went to sleep along with my husband and our then 6 children. 
      Sometime later I was awaken, something or someone drew me toward our living room.  I walked up toward the center of the room, I felt like there was a force of some kind trying to pull me down to the floor.  I fought it; I felt an urge to wake up my husband. He wouldn't wake up; I persistly pulled at him and said; baby get up! We have to get the children out of the house.  Finally, he moved, but he keep passing out, I kept pulling on him until  we began to quickly get our 6 children out of the house. We took them out through the back door because we couldn't go out the front.
     Well, I am happy to say that we all survived.  What it turned out to be was; that earlier that day we had a gas heater installed in our house.  It was not installed properly, so carbon dioxide had escaped from it and that was the force that I was fighting.  As everyone knows, you can not smell carbon dioxide. I didn't smell anything I could feel it and God lead me to get my family out.  We should all be dead, but God did exactly that I asked him to do that night.  He put his Angels around us and protected my whole family.  So, I truly believe that Angels do exist and that they are watching over us everyday.  If you have had an experience with Angels, I would love to have you share it here on my blog. So, please comment; tell me about your close encounter of the heavenly kind. 

Luke 13 and 14

and suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying. Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward me.

This review is from: "No Separate Roses II (A collection of Short Stories and Poetry)" (Book 2) (Kindle Edition)
I'm a big fan of chick lit so the short stories are outside my normal genre. Nevertheless, I did find the stories interesting. I gave the book five stars because I loved the poetry. It was very inspirational and heartfelt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Book, December 4, 2013
This review is from: "No Separate Roses II (A collection of Short Stories and Poetry)" (Book 2) (Kindle Edition)
A very sweet book filled with short stories and poems written in an easy to read understandable way. This book is nspiring and the stories read well. It is a family book because it is non offensive, sensitive and offers a lot to learn in terms of morals and values. The author writes very subtlely where at points I could almost imagine a slight whisper as I coul hear the words in my head.She is very descriptive at points and there are messages to her stories.

Praise The Lord Everybody!

Today is Sunday November the 24th 2013, it is a day that we have not seen before and it is a day that we will never see again.  I thank the Lord for blessing it when he created it.  Hi everyone, God has seen fit to bless us all with another day.  I give him thanks and praise, for he did not have to do it.  God is a good God and worthy to be praised.  Praise him in the morning and praise him in the noon day and praise him all night long.  He is Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end.  He is omnipresent and omnipotent, he is all powerful.  So, stop what you are doing right now and praise him with your whole heart and you whole mind body and spirit.  Praise Jesus, Praise Jesus, forever.  God Bless!

It's My Birthday

Hi everyone, yesterday was my 56th birthday.  I had a good one, my parents took me shopping and  bought me a new coat.  I danced and I laughed, it was a very good day.  It is a blessing to still have my mother and my father still alive and well.  I just love them both so much; bless their little hearts.  I am totally spoiled rotten and I love every minute of it.  Here's a picture of me and underneath is a picture of my granddaughter, and the last one is my mother, its she beautiful, she is 82 yrs old.

My books by Stephanie Duke

Hi everyone,

How are you all doing today, I would love to hear from you.  Just leave a comment hear on my blog are inbox me on my Facebook page.  I love to talk to other authors, we can share tips on how to publish our work or marketing tidbits.  I have been writing since 2007, I got a late start at it.  After the death of my husband back in 2006, my life took a new direction.  God lead me in to writing; that's when I wrote my first book called 'No Separate Roses".  It was published in 2008.  It is a collection of poetry which have a rap flare to them with each containing an inspirational message.  You still can find it on the web at just about all the book sites, like Amazon, books million, Barnes and nobles and good reads.  You can also read some samples of my writing hear on my blog under the writing tab.  I am still learning new things so I welcome any help or suggestions what anyone may have.  I want to get my writings out there, not because of fame and fortune. But because I have a message to bring to the masses, a message of hope and love and kindness. So if anyone out there could tell me how I can do that better than what I have been trying.  Please let me know, I am on a mission from God and I am not giving up.  If you would like to become a part of that mission.  Which is to enlighten and inspire people and shine the light on God's word and lead someone to Christ.  Please check out my books and buy one to share with you friends and family.  You never know what a difference that you may bring to somebody and how you could direct a child to grew up with good morals that they learned from reading one of my books.

God Bless,
