The author does not see or understand the importance of credentials gained on this earth. Therefore, she describes herself as a servant of God, all about doing her heavenly Father's will. She enjoys preaching and teaching the Word of God. She strives to take Christians out of a building called church and put the church where God intended it to be: in the hearts of men.
