Faith of Our Founders: 100 Daily Devotionals to Inspire, Encourage, and Propel the Finer Woman

I had the opportunity to be a part of a conference call describing the Journey to Centennial. I was excited to hear all the plans in the works and opportunities to serve. During the call, I asked myself what about the clergy? The call ended, and I had that light-bulb moment. I drafted a proposal for the writing of a devotional that same night and submitted it before I had a chance to self-sabotage. That single moment of saying yes to what I felt the spirit of God calling me to do has propelled me on this journey of rekindling my faith in God and discovering the faith of our founders, who set forth principles that would guide us for the time to come. While the journey has not been easy and been met with its challenges, it has been made meaningful and worthwhile by this project’s outstanding contributing sorors of whom I have the most love and respect: Minister Teraleen Campbell, Rev. Barbaina Houston-Black, Rev. Pamela N. Lewis and Rev. Pamela Lyons. Sorors—may you find within this devotional, words to heal, uplift and encourage you in your life’s journey. MINISTER MONICA M. LEAK
