South Carolina entrepreneur Ebony Hughes defies health-related challenges, becomes a fixture for 7 Dimensions

In case you don’t know her, Ebony Hughes would like to introduce herself.

A native of Hemingway, South Carolina, Hughes, 35, is a proud graduate of Hemingway’s Carvers Bay High School.

She would eventually advance her educational endeavors at Coastal Carolina University in nearby Conway, which has greatly enabled her to pursue, fulfill, and carry out her dream as a rising businesswoman.

MAKING HER PRESENCE FELT — Georgetown, South Carolina-area businesswoman Ebony Hughes has become a fixture for 7 Dimensions, a universally-acclaimed online keto coaching platform, whereby Hughes is responsible for coaching people on achieving their health and fitness goals in seven areas of life.

Credit her seemingly dysfunctional and unhealthy lifestyle as arguably the biggest reasons why.

“After starting my insurance business and working around the clock to grow it successfully, my work and personal life became unbalanced,” Hughes told Making Headline News this week. “Over time, I became over weight. I had to buy larger clothes and I had become ashamed of my body.”

For Hughes, she was determined to see to it that such health-related hurdles were short-lived.

That, after all, practically sums up why she has become a fixture for 7 Dimensions, a universally-acclaimed online keto coaching platform, whereby Hughes is responsible largely for coaching people on achieving their health and fitness goals in seven areas of life.

“My team and I make sure that clients get a customized meal and training plan and follow up with them regularly, most times daily to motivate them to stay on track with their plan and remind them of their goals to keep them accountable,” said Hughes, providing a thorough overview of her business venture.

Amongst the factors that are especially intriguing about Hughes’ business is that because it is an online endeavor, she’s afforded the golden opportunity to have more of a global impact.

 

“I like that my business helps people on an online platform and app so that I can stay connected to my clients and have a more balanced life,” Hughes said of a venture that caters to people of all ages.

Interestingly, 7 Dimensions has evolved and attracted a global presence, in large part because it is committed to helping its clients embrace the notion that this journey has no final destination, according to a spokesperson for 7 Dimensions at https://www.my7dimensions.com/.

“We don’t stop when we find a treasure chest at the end of a rainbow,” the 7 Dimensions spokesperson added. “There are three treasures that you will find almost immediately, and that will grow in power every day you maintain this journey with us: getting healthier, sustained energy, and a love of life that can only come from the natural rush of endorphins blasting your body with every beat of your pounding heart.”

Much to the delight to Hughes, those are the essential and therapeutic benefits she has acquired since joining 7 Dimensions.

Which is to say that she has nowhere to go but up in what has become a globally-acclaimed company.

“I started feeling sluggish and tired,” said Hughes, recalling those during which she struggled with her health. “I just knew that I was sick and no doctor had to tell me this. The craziest part of it all is that I knew better as I majored in health promotion. I knew that I needed to lose the fat.

“I promised myself that would lose weight and joined a gym, and I lost a few pounds, but I still felt bad and gave up after a while of busting my butt at the gym and eating, what I thought was, healthy foods. A few short months later, I lost my breath and thought that I was going to die on my sofa. I began to pray to the Lord to ask Him to help me live so my children would not find me dead.” — Ebony Hughes 

 

For Hughes, God not only gave her another chance at life but, most importantly, He ushered her into the divine purpose for which He created her, something about which she doesn’t take lightly.

BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER — For Hughes, God not only gave her another chance at life but, most importantly, He ushered her into the divine purpose for which He created her, something about which she doesn’t take lightly.

“I immediately made the decision to see a weight-loss coach,” Hughes said. “I started researching diets and started to understand why I had not lost any significant amount of what. It’s because I was addicted to sugar, and most Americans are as well. I learned that quitting sugar or managing sugar cravings is harder to do than a person trying to quit heroin. After thousands of dollars spent, I did lose weight and I was motivated to help others do the same.”

She’s doing just that with God, her Helper, leading the way.

“I know through my own life experiences of being overweight, sick, and (harboring) low self-esteem, I knew others were going through the same thing,” said Hughes, adding that her children are amongst those who inspired her to achieve her health-related goals. “I believe cultural ideologies, education or the lack thereof, media, and other environmental factors affect a person’s outcome, so I want to be the mediator for as many people as I can help.”

South Carolina Pastor TrVera Williams leading God’s people to make a ‘U Turn’ for Christ

MAKING HEADLINE NEWS WELCOMES PASTOR TRVERA WILLIAMS 

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 15:58)

Just after midday EST on Thursday, TrVera Williams took to her Facebook page, where she staged a rather intriguing and thought-provoking video.

The footage before her gallery of social media followers read: YOU ARE NEXT IN LINE FOR A MIRACLE.

Ahhh…just the ideal message by this devout, big-hearted woman of faith whom, to her credit, is being used by God to advance the kingdom unlike never before, for such pivotal time as now. 

“When the Lord placed in my spirit to transition, I just didn’t see how that would work,” Williams, during an interview this week with Making Headline News, said, explaining in great detail the events that had ultimately given way to her establishing a ministry. “Being single and the sole bread winner, my questions were: How am I going to pay my bills and what am I going to do with the business bills?”

U-TURN INTO MORE SUCCESS — A native of Jamestown, South Carolina, Trvera Williams has made some pretty remarkably and progressive strides as the Founder and Senior Pastor of U Turn For Christ Evangelistic Ministries, Inc., which will be celebrating five years of existence in what has been deemed Harvest Celebration 2018, a three-day, power-packed event that will take place November 16-18.

As Williams consequently found it, because her calling to the ministry essentially was God’s will, it was also, by all accounts, His bill.

Yep, that’s just like God.

“The Lord told me that He would take care of me and that I was not to go get another job, but my job was to get up every morning, get dressed and go upstairs and spend time with Him. Initially, fear and anger were present, because I didn’t understand why God would take something away that He told me to build.” — Pastor Trvera Williams 

That Williams has steadfastly obeyed the Voice of God has benefited her mightily since she ceremoniously delved off into ministry full time.

SOLID CHRISTIAN FOUNDATION — Having grown up in what is known as the Jehovah Holiness Church, Williams and her family, she explained, were affiliated with the First Born Church Of The Living God, a denomination that is based in Waycross, Georgia.

A native of Jamestown, South Carolina, Williams has made some pretty remarkably and progressive strides as the Founder and Senior Pastor of U Turn For Christ Evangelistic Ministries, Inc., which will be celebrating five years of existence in what has been deemed Harvest Celebration 2018, a three-day, power-packed event that will take place November 16-18.

A non-denominational institution that Williams founded in November 2013, U Turn For Christ is housed in the historic Berea area of Greenville, South Carolina, which is part of the Greenville, Mauldin, and Easley metropolitan statistical areas — a town that is comprised of roughly 14,295 residents, according to the latest U. S. census.

“He then said He was taking it away, but, instead, I was trading in my business, Serenity Rehab And Wellness Center, for something better,” said Williams, recalling the infancy stages of her ministry.

CONNECT WITH U TURN FOR CHRIST VIA SOCIAL MEDIA: https://www.facebook.com/UTFCEM/

Interestingly, U Turn For Christ’s regular worship services took place in the gymnasium of Williams’ place of business in Winter 2013.

Today, however, this up-and-coming ministry’s present site is located at 6243 White Horse Road, Suite F in Greenville.

A church whereby this clergywoman is widely known for emphasizing the spirit of excellence throughout the Body of Christ and in the community, Williams’ professional ministerial resume is such that she isn’t just known for being a solid and notable pastor.

To her credit, coupled with the divine purpose for which she was created, Williams is widely known also as a godly mentor to a host of leaders, particularly those whom likewise have been called to the ministry.

ADVANCING THE KINGDOM — In 2017, Williams witnessed the release of her book entitled, “A Journey With A Promise,” an awe-inspiring written document that is comprised of poems, as well as recording an inspirational scripture and Prayer CD entitled, “Worship In The Word With Anointed Keys.”

Credit her notable and rich upbringing in the church as amongst the reasons Williams is yet witnessing her destiny unfold right before her eyes.

“Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, you can do all things through Christ Who strengthens you, be who God has called you to be,” said Williams, explaining what were amongst the key and strategic values her parents taught her as a child.

Having grown up in what is known as the Jehovah Holiness Church, Williams and her family, she explained, were affiliated with the First Born Church Of The Living God, a denomination that is based in Waycross, Georgia.

The daughter to a mother, who was an evangelist and father, who was a deacon, Williams practically grew up in the church.

GOD’S LEADING LADY — For what’s it worth, that Williams had begun preaching the gospel at the tender age of 16 essentially was a prelude to what is taken place at this stage in her life, a trend that was highlighted by her officially accepting her calling, thus selling out solely to God in 1999.

“I grew up, singing in the choir, being active in the youth department, on speaking programs for youth district meetings,” said Williams, once of a product of the historic Church of God In Christ. “(I also) transitioned into playing the drums and then the keyboard of which I continue to play.”

For what’s it worth, that Williams had begun preaching the gospel at the tender age of 16 essentially was a prelude to what is taking place at this stage in her life, a trend that was highlighted by her officially accepting her calling, thus selling out solely to God in 1999.

How else to explain why she was next in line for a miracle all along?

“My mother says that when I was younger I would preach to my stuff animals,” Williams jokingly said, but with a straight face.

LET US GO INTO GOD’S HOUSE — A non-denominational institution that Williams founded in November 2013, U Turn For Christ is housed in the historic Berea area of Greenville, South Carolina, which is part of the Greenville, Mauldin, and Easley metropolitan statistical area, a town that is comprised of roughly 14,295 residents, according to the latest U. S. census.

Much to her delight, she routinely preaches before people from various walks of life, people who are discouraged and wounded and spiritually incarcerated, people who are in dire need to change the overall landscape of their lives, all the while drawing closer to God in the process.

After all, this is what making a U-Turn for Christ is all about.

“This testimony shows me how I thought I believed and trusted (God), but I saw that I believed as far as the bank account and the pay day, because I knew with my profession, I would not be jobless,” said Williams who, last year, witnessed the much-anticipated release of her book entitled, “A Journey With A Promise,” an awe-inspiring written document of poems. “But this test has helped me stand and continue to build U Turn For Christ Evangelistic Ministries on a sure foundation.”

APPLE OF GOD’S EYE — Much to her delight, Williams routinely preaches before people from various walks of life, people who are discouraged and spiritually incarcerated, people who are in dire need to change the overall landscape of their lives, all the while drawing closer to God in the process. After all, this is what making a U-Turn for Christ is all about.

A solid, faith-based foundation that undoubtedly will stand the test of time with God, its Helper, leading the way.

“Throughout the transition period and for about six months,” said Williams, “not one bill went unpaid, and many bills were written off, all because my faith came up.”

Indeed it deed.

For five years and counting.

Yep, that’s just like God.

North Carolina author Elizabeth Clamon fulfilling her purpose as an accomplished writer

MAKING HEADLINE NEWS WELCOMES ELIZABETH M. CLAMON  

One thing about Elizabeth M. Clamon, when life hurls in her direction figurative curve balls, she’s destined to exhibit a positive, spirited disposition as a result.

Such was the case just after midday EST on Tuesday when Clamon erected a rather inspiring image to her Facebook timeline.

The post Clamon had shared before her gallery of social media friends read: When life gives you a hundred reasons to break down and cry, show life that you have a million reasons to smile and laugh. Stay strong.

SHE’S STILL STANDING — A native of Bossier City, Louisiana who currently resides in La Grange, North Carolina, Elizabeth M. Clamon latest project is featured in “I Rise, Living Beyond The Bruises,” a book that is forwarded by Flint, Michigan-based Author and empowerment extradionaire Precious Brown, the founder and CEO of Kilgore Publishing.

For Clamon, staying strong is something about which she has come to embrace, most notably through her divine calling as an accomplished author.

Amongst the reasons is that Clamon has become a fixture by way of a few remarkably compelling books, all of which are advancing the kingdom mightily in the process.

A native of Bossier City, Louisiana who currently resides in La Grange, North Carolina, Clamon latest project is featured in “I Rise, Living Beyond The Bruises,” a book that is forwarded by Flint, Michigan-based author and empowerment extraordinaire Precious Brown, the founder and CEO of Kilgore Publishing.

An empowering written document that is comprised of several other accomplished writers, “I Rise, Living Beyond The Bruises” is scheduled to be officially released in December.

Like the other authors who have contributed to “I Rise, Living Beyond The Bruises,” Clamon is thoroughly appreciative of the fact that God spoke to her through Brown to partake in a composing a book that is already having a  monumental impact prior to its official release.

“I was asked by Precious Brown to participate in the I Rise Tele-Summit,” Clamon told Making Headline News during a recent interview. “It was such a wonderful, uplifting experience that when she asked me to take an expanded chapter in I RISE; Living Beyond the Bruises, I knew in my spirit that God had put this opportunity in my path and wanted me to share my story as part of this innovative book.”

THIS IS THE LORD’S DOING — “God has been calling me to share my journey in Beauty Rising From Brokenness: Journey Through Childhood Trauma And Chronic Illness Into Healing since I attended a women’s conference in 2002,” Clamon explained. “I had no idea at that time the path God was going to lead me down to attain freedom and optimal health. I have been on this path to healing and breaking free ever since.”

Given the immeasurable strides she’s made in the world of authorship, it’s safe to assume that writing is surely Clamon’s God-mandated calling.

“God has been calling me to share my journey in Beauty Rising From Brokenness: Journey Through Childhood Trauma And Chronic Illness Into Healing since I attended a women’s conference in 2002,” Clamon explained. “I had no idea at that time the path God was going to lead me down to attain freedom and optimal health. I have been on this path to healing and breaking free ever since.”

To her credit, coupled with the divine calling on her life, Clamon’s ability to heal according to God’s perspective essentially has become greatly connected to her ministry in various aspects.

“God created me to serve those who are hurting and broken hearted,” said Clamon, explaining the purpose for which God created her to assemble her books. “He has given me a unique ability to connect with people on a deeper level, even if we have just met. I love people, spending time with them, listening, and comforting them. I also have the wonderful gift of laughter. I believe laughter is good medicine, and if I can help others lighten up and laugh, then I have achieved my purpose of brightening their day and perhaps more.”

NOT TODAY, DEVIL — To her credit, coupled with the divine calling on her life, Clamon’s ability to heal according to God’s perspective essentially has become greatly connected to her ministry in various aspects.

Surely, Clamon is achieving her purpose as an author, one who has been extremely active in recent years.

To her credit, she’s composed two self-published mini-books on Amazon: “20 Chronic Illness And Their Natural Healing Treatments,” which was published in August 2018, and “Remember The Butterfly Effect? Everything Affects Everything; How Stress Affects Your Health,” which was published in September 2018.

Interestingly, Clamon contributed to a project entitled, “Voices Of The 21st Century,” a book that is presently in the works by the Women Speakers Association and is scheduled to be released on October 16.

Not to be outdone, Clamon has announced that other books are on the horizon.

Her next book on deck is entitled, “Shattered: Rising From The Pieces And Rebuilding Your Life,” which is scheduled to be released in early 2019.

Also, she will be contributing to the following collaboration books in the upcoming year:

South Carolina clergywoman Yolanda Townsend’s ‘next level’ finally emerges as a newly-installed Senior Pastor

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18 KJV)

Another much-anticipated harvest season, another heavenly supply of uncommon favor for Yolanda Townsend.

After a six-year stint as an Assistant Pastor for  Empowerment Worship Center in Greenville, South Carolina, Townsend is steadily witnessing God elevate her to immense heights, all the while she savors the fruits of her labor in the process.

“Over the years, I can look back over my life in ministry and see how the different areas made a huge impact and prepared me for this next level,” Townsend told Making Headline News this week.

GOD’S LEADING LADY — For Yolanda Townsend (center in pink dress), her ensuing level has finally arrived now that she has been christened the shepherd to steer a flock as Senior Pastor of Uncommon Favor Ministries in Anderson, South Carolina, a milestone she envisioned would come to fruition long before her forthcoming consecration service October 20, during which she will be officially installed to her new ministerial post.

For Townsend, the ensuing level has finally arrived now that she has been christened the shepherd to steer a flock as Senior Pastor of Uncommon Favor Ministries in Anderson, South Carolina, a milestone she envisioned would come to fruition long before her forthcoming consecration service October 20, during which she will be officially installed to her new ministerial post.

“The Lord started positioning me eight years ago while serving 20-plus years at a former church, Mt. Sinai World Outreach, then six years at Empowerment Worship Center,” Yolanda, a native of Anderson, South Carolina, explained. “The call to the office was there and I only needed to remove the fear and walk into it.”

Now that she’s just days away from stepping it up a spiritual notch, it’s safe to assume that all fear is gone for Townsend whom, given her immeasurable track record as a clergywoman, was destined to garner the Senior Pastor label the moment she had officially accepted her calling to preach the Gospel.

Yes… another much-anticipated harvest season, another heavenly supply of uncommon favor for such an illustrious time as now.

Never mind that Townsend had admittedly aspired to delve off into another spiritual direction, of sorts.

“After years of praying and seeking the Lord for His direction, He gave me the church name, Uncommon Favor Ministries,” Townsend said. “Even when I tried to seek out something different, the Holy Spirit continued to redirect me back to Uncommon Favor Ministries. It’s important to be sure to follow the direction and voice of God.”

NOT HER WILL, BUT HIS WILL — Now that she’s just days away from stepping it up a spiritual notch, it’s safe to assume that all fear is gone for Townsend whom, given her immeasurable track record as a clergywoman, was destined to garner the Senior Pastor label the moment she had officially accepted her calling to preach the Gospel.

That she steadfastly obeyed God’s command by sticking with the name of her church that’s located at 111 Market Place Drive in Anderson, for her valiant efforts — coupled with her impressive body of work in ministry — have given way to this soon-to-be newly-installed Pastor reaping that about which she has longed for ever since she was set aside for God’s use: uncommon favor.

“Over the years, I can look back over my life in ministry and see how the different areas made a huge impact and prepared me for this next level,” Townsend said. Working with various youth groups, women ministries, Aids Ministry, and serving food helped me to advance the gifts of help and teaching. Working with young girls gave me insight on what it is like doing life as a young saved girl, transitioning into womanhood. Having my personal ministry, DIVAS 4 Christ Ministries, helped me to be humble, to serve not only those within the church, but most importantly the community.”

SEASON OF GRACE OF AND FAVOR — That she steadfastly obeyed God’s command by sticking with the name of her church that’s located at 111 Market Place Drive in Anderson, for her valiant efforts — coupled with her impressive body of work in ministry — have given way to this soon-to-be newly-installed Pastor reaping that about which she has longed for ever since she was set aside for God’s use: uncommon favor.

Finally, the time has come for Townsend to assume a more strategic and massive role in ministry, an assignment that, quite frankly, shouldn’t have come as a surprise to anyone, considering serving God’s people has been figuratively tattooed to her life for as long as she can recall.

“Ministry is never easy, but it is rewarding. The fact in knowing that others within the surrounding communities and around the world are being blessed by my ministry is rewarding for me. My heart’s desire is to please God, because He comes first in my life and ministry. I want to encourage those whom the Lord has sent to sit under me, be connected to me, or as a mentee that no matter how difficult it looks, never give up. Giving up is not an option.” — Pastor Yolanda Townsend 

Come October 20, Townsend won’t be thrust upon center stage alone.

As usual, her “best friend” and husband of 15 years, Christopher L. Townsend Sr., as well as the couple’s two children, Christian and Crystal, will stand alongside her as they will be officially dubbed the first family of Uncommon Favor Ministries.

FEED THEM — Finally, the time has come for Townsend to assume a more strategic and massive role in ministry, an assignment that, quite frankly, shouldn’t have come as a surprise to anyone, considering serving God’s people has been figuratively tattooed to her life for as long as she can recall.

“I can only imagine the nervous excitement that will fill the room along with the Lord’s presence,” said Townsend, describing what will likely go through your mind during her consecration. “Although I am nervously excited, I am also humbled at the fact that He chose me to deliver His message to the people. My mind will be racing with thoughts of making sure all is in place on that day, and more importantly, I just want the glory of God to fill the building.

“Ministry is never easy, but it is rewarding,” Townsend continued. “The fact in knowing that others within the surrounding communities and around the world are being blessed by my ministry is rewarding for me. My heart’s desire is to please God, because He comes first in my life and ministry. I want to encourage those whom the Lord has sent to sit under me, be connected to me, or as a mentee that no matter how difficult it looks, never give up. Giving up is not an option.”

ON TO THE NEXT KINGDOM ASSIGNMENT — After a six-year stint as an Assistant Pastor for  Empowerment Worship Center in Greenville, South Carolina, Townsend is steadily witnessing God elevate her to immense heights, all the while she savors the fruits of her labor in the process.

Because she was determined to stick with God, stay true to herself, and never give up, that next level she had envisioned for so long has finally arrived.

Charleston, South Carolina author Jamelia Logan’s brand new, awe-inspiring book figures to have a massive kingdom impact

It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

(Psalm 119:71)

 

David, according to scripture, was widely regarded as a man after God’s Own Heart.

Given the tumultuous, life-changing developments that once surrounded Jamelia Logan, it’s safe to assume that this Charleston, South Carolina-based author can surely attest to this notion.

IT’S THE GOD IN HER — Exhibiting the kind of disposition and spirit of courage similar to that of the Biblical character Job, South Carolina Author Jamelia Logan, for what it’s worth, found herself embracing such a provocative inquiry, particularly during a time in which she needed it most as she eloquently revealed in her newly-released book entitled, Goddidit: The Vindication Journey, Volume 1.

“We oftentimes question God, ‘Why me?’ And God responds, ‘Why not you?” Logan said during a weekend interview with Making Headline News.

Exhibiting the kind of disposition and spirit of courage similar to that of the Biblical character Job, Logan, for what it’s worth, found herself embracing such a provocative inquiry, particularly during a time in which she needed it most as she eloquently revealed in her newly-released book entitled, Goddidit: The Vindication Journey, Volume 1.

While Logan’s newly written document is short in length — the book is comprised of only 54 pages — it is one that figures to have a massive kingdom impact, thus will inspire others to draw closer to Almighty God in the process.

A book that made its ceremoniously debut on the market less than a month ago — October 19 to be technical — Logan’s Goddidit: The Vindication Journey, Volume 1 is a true narration of a real, everyday citizen, who overcame having become another statistic of what is widely viewed as a broken judicial system in America, according to detailed description of this young author’s book at Amazon.com.

BUY JAMELIA’S BOOK HERE: https://www.amazon.com/GODDIDIT-Vindication-Journey-Jamelia-Logan-ebook/dp/B076M555C9

“As you read, you will discover how affliction and public humiliation caused this everyday citizen to fully trust God to vindicate her after being faced with a maximum prison sentence of 13 years,” said a spokesperson for Logan’s book.

Interestingly, along with what she labels a vindication journey, Logan has appropriately provided her reading audience with practical and scriptural ways to overcome various forms of afflictions, adversities, hurts in ministry — or, as she puts it to you plainly “people hurt — not to mention a broken justice system.

“The intention of this book is to share my personal testimony, to fulfill prophecy, invoke wisdom, to impart the word of God, and to give you words of encouragement along the way,” said Logan, a married mother of three and a native of Charleston.

A book that Logan initially began composing the same year of her arrest, she needed approximately two years to complete a project that figures to — in case you’ve forget — have a massive kingdom impact, thus inspire others to draw closer to Almighty God.

All things considered and because of the God-mandated calling upon her life, Logan doesn’t shy away from the notion that had it not been for the Lord Who was on her side…well, on second thought, no one, it seems, can tell it like she can.

“After I survived the affliction of being faced with a 13 year prison sentence, to being vindicated with only having to do 80 hours of community service, 46 days in county jail, to having a three-year probation sentence eventually terminated early after only doing six months, to overcoming public humiliation, adversity, to walking out of court of a broken judicial system and, lastly, overcoming being hurt in ministry, it was necessary for me to share God’s goodness and mercy upon my life,” Logan said of an emotional story that, in all likelihood, brings her to tear virtually every time she tells it.

Having been arrested some time in 2015, it was, by all accounts, because of Logan’s incarceration that essentially gave way to arguably the grandest breakthrough of life, an arrest that came wrapped in a spiritual gift, of sorts.

“The Lord had to break me down to raise me up for such a time as this, to minister to the lost, and to encourage those that want to throw in the towel.”

Having been arrested some time in 2015, it was, by all accounts, because of Logan’s unlikely incarceration that essentially gave way to arguably the grandest breakthrough of life — an arrest that, given the subsequent outcome of her encounter, had come wrapped up in a spiritual gift, of sorts.

Need more proof? Well, here ya go.

THE PSALM 105:1 FACTOR — All things considered and because of the God-mandated calling upon, Logan doesn’t shy away from the notion that had it not been for the Lord Who was on her side…well, on second thought, no one, it seems, can tell it like she can.

“I kept a note pad after my initial arrest and, as I began this vindication journey, God led me to write every (encounter) I’ve ever experienced and it eventually went from pad, to paper, to pen, to a word document that later became a book,” Logan explained.

The rest, as they say, was history.

“My story is very compelling, and its divine purpose is designed to share my personal testimony, to fulfill prophecy, invoke wisdom, to impart the word of God, and to give words of encouragement along the way,” Logan said. “The majority of the feedback has been very positive and encouraging. Many have also raved of the book’s transparency as well as it being an easy read that anyone can relate to.”

YOU GO, GIRL!!! Today, unlike never before, Logan is steadfastly walking in it as evidence by her newly-released book.

For what’s it worth, the array of afflictions about which Logan had endured had ultimately given birth to her purpose.

Today, unlike never before, she’s steadfastly walking in it as evidence by her newly-released book that is also available for purchase at Amazon Kindle and Barnes And Noble online.

“For a very long time, I’ve straddled the fence, being incognito to the things of God until I had to really be broken to realize that God had a bigger purpose for my life, rather sitting down on the side lines,” Logan explained. “God’s purpose was for me to endure affliction to help someone else not to go down (that road) and/or make some of the same decisions and paths that lead me to what I’ve gone through.”

After all, David, according to scripture, was widely viewed as a man after God’s Own Heart.

And given the tumultuous, life-changing developments that once surrounded Logan, it’s safe to assume that this Godly author can surely attest to this notion.

As evidenced by her life-enhancing, tear-jerking testimony, one that God endorsed to be wrapped up in 54 pages.
