about me

At 51, I am getting a late start in this industry, but at least I made. I worked and raised kids, so never had much time for writing; sometimes life takes us on detours. Yet, those detours gave me ideas for writing.

I haven't taken any writing courses, studied literature, or the arts, which some of you can probably tell; this is truly a gift. I did go to college for 2.5 years. I am creative in other areas as well; at 14 I was offered a scholarship to an art institute, but sadly at that time in life, I had other things on my mind.

This is my first book; I have titles for 5 others, of which I've already started 2. I do have a poem, The Lonely Silence, that was published in 2001 in a bk titled, The Age of Innocence, published by the International Poetry Society.

I invite all constructive criticism.

favourite books

Hinds Feet on High Places, The Chicken Soup for the Soul books (I have 14), A View From the Porch Swing, The Complete Collection of Smith Wigglesworth Teachings, Woman Thou Art Loosed, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, and of course The Bible, where much of my inspiration comes from, The Caused Blessing, Close Encounters of the God Kind, Activating the Prophetic, Intercessory Prayer

Words God Gave Me

Monica Pride

Life had a way of kicking me in the gut more than once. But I got up and kicked back!


As a singer loses her voice, I lost my words. Words can be used to edify or to tear apart. It's true that the words we speak bring us a positive or negative life. Often times the lack of words can affect us just as deeply. I lost my words due to circumstances at different times in my life to the point I told God if He would give them back, I would write for Him. He did and I have. If you think your dreams can't come true because you are past a certain age or your life has gotten too far off course, take it from me, your dreams can become a reality as long as you never give up. You may have to ask for Divine help, but they can come to pass. I'm 51 and it happened to me. This is a short story of how I lost my words as well as how I got them (the poetry) back. These truly are the words God gave me and hopefully they will minister to and inspire you.
