Thinking out Loud: Poems from the Heart Arlene Baptiste

This book is a collection of thoughtful rhymes and inspirational poems I have written over the years. It is my belief that everyone has a talent which they should use to glorify God and as a teenager I discovered writing poetry happened to be one of mine and an avenue for self expression. In this book, I have drawn on different themes and aspects of life and human emotions which I have taken from observations and from my own thoughts, feelings and experiences as a Christian young woman. You may agree or even find you identify with some of the thoughts and sentiments expressed, but my underlying message to my readers is to be encouraged and reminded that God is always there for you and He never sleeps. God has a good plan for each and every one of us no matter what we have gone through or what we are currently experiencing in life, so never give up on your hopes, your prayers and dreams. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
