I’m Donna from Philadelphia, raised in South Philly and always lovin’ up on my native roots. I’m an only kid, and my best friend in the world was my mom: Carolyn V. Jackson. You name it; we walked through it together. There was nothing I couldn't and didn't
tell her. Through her sacrifices, I attended Tuskegee Institute where I established lifelong relationships.
Honestly, I did most of my journey with my eyes closed, but I never traveled alone. Jesus has always been there for me. So as I stumbled through darkness; His presence eventually allowed a stroll into a glimmer of hope. Graduated: Registered Nurse and I’m always available to God. I dedicated my career to Him. Graduation from nursing school was an amazingly, proud day for my mom. And she absolutely deserved that day. She was Mommie to me, and my inspiration. Love her.
I’ve always loved the dirty south, so I moved to the ATL. I brought my mom with me. Blessed up on a husband. I married the law: Ricky. Another cherished memory for my mom. Was doin’ my thing; life was good, when everything changed. Woke up to the day that Mommie was gone. Never experienced life without her, so I did as she said, “If there is a time that I am not with you, never forget that Jesus will never leave or forsake you.” She had never been wrong, so as I continued my pilgrimage, I looked to Jesus for a brighter day. It was at my darkest hour that I asked God if I could tell our story, and as a result, I walked into the marvelous light. HE's a very present help. Love Him too.
The Lord did me one better; He said publish it too. New to all of this, and not understanding the timing of God; name the mistake, I made it. But it’s not my first rodeo with the Master, so you’ve probably not ever met a more confident neophyte and I love the lessons He’s taught me. Started haphazardly promoting the book, only to learn that there was more to understand. It’s never about you when it’s God’s will. The scheme of Heavenly things is always greater. So He reconnected me with a group of friends I met in Tuskegee to help me run a nonprofit that was placed in my spirit.
The corporation: Jesus HELP (Heaven Extending Life Promises), is a faith-based organization that will address health, social and economical issues. Our focus is to: encourage the socially-economically deprived, empower through the arts, educate in the nursing science, be the voice for speechless women, and offer employment opportunity in a stagnant economy. A company created with humanity in mind. Mission: Educate. Encourage. Empower. Giving back...
I’m an encourager. My writing reflects not only that characteristic, but my Kingdom values of love, as well. My debut title: Amazing Grace: A Tribute to You, The Story of Us is my memoir. I bear all to help others. In telling my story, my mission and God-given talent was revealed. I’ve been blessed with a ministry in Health and Social Welfare. We’re all here for purpose. I write from my heart to yours, to inspire and motivate you to find your cause. I'm here to bring awareness to issues of the Heart.
I’m not in it to hear job well done, good and faithful servant; you know, I’m that real girl, made some mistakes. But I’ve lived long enough to say, “Had it not been for Jesus on my side.” I thank God for a book appropriately titled for my life. For real, all I really need to hear is job completed. For God so loved the world, He gave us Jesus... Bless you.
