sharon-pellom

This book is of my walk and awakening on this earth with The Creator and the Goddess of Care, the Sacred Feminine, The Holy Spirit. Opening my eyes and heart to The Creator has given me insight into who the Sons were before me. You must want this walk for yourself. You must “Ask, Seek and Knock.” The Creator is waiting with open arms. You must do your homework by dividing the Word of the god(s). You will not remain the same. No man can give you the understanding that comes through The Spirit within you. The Natural Laws of The Creator were given to you at birth. These Rights are not created by humans but are your birthright endowed to you by the Creator of the Universe. They are your inheritance. We were many from one but have become one from many, a democracy. The only way out of the deception is through word of mouth, one to another. “No man can serve two masters, for he will hate the one and love the other.”
The Great Work is to end slavery. This should be a shared responsibility to help in awakening others. Speaking the truth unapologetically even when we feel burdened and/or uncomfortable.
Until the conversation changes from, race, religion, education/indoctrination, media/entertainment, politics, and government we will not be freed of the deception in our minds and of our times.
Come as a Son (male or female).
“Greater is He that is in you than the deception that is in the World.”
If I can help anyone with this information, my awakening will not have been in vain. I am a living testimony to the Spirit, the Consciousness of The Creator which will reign forever and ever.

For Amanda, it has taken years to accept that she will never be Elias’s type. Though she’s matured over the years, he’s never been interested in getting to know the layers that have rippled beneath her surface—until a sure thing backfires in his face. 
  
Now that Elias has Amanda in his vision, she’s finally detached from the thought of a relationship with him. Will her redemptive changes work in their romantic favor, or will she prove the adage of appreciating what you have when it’s gone?
