5 Minutes, 5 Questions With…
Lakeshia Ramsey, author of A Destiny God Ordained
(Dream Team Publishing)

In life, we never know what awaits us. At a very young age, I had to deal with many things most children don’t have to dream of: a mother on drugs, the need to move from place to place only, having my body violated time and time again.

I had to endure an abusive relationship and living a street life just to make ends meet. BUT GOD! I just wanted someone to make me whole, so I found Jesus. My faith in God and perseverance brought me through.

The world is not the way it used to be, but I thank GOD everyday for allowing me to endure such hardships. Those hardships made me into the woman I am today. I am blessed that God is using me to spread his gospel.

Take a look into my life, and see the struggles I had to go through.
