Fur Coats In My Closet
Preface
|
|
| One day while
my daughter, Tesha, and I were talking, I told her the story about
my Aunt Louise. 'I am sure,' she said, "there are a number of women
who have a similar story. I think you should write a poem about it."
I told her I'd rather-write a story, but she insisted that I write
a poem and call it "Fur Coats In My Closet.' |
|
| After tossing
the idea around for several months, I finally came up with some words.
I felt pretty good about how I had handled the topic. But GOD would
not let me rest in my smugness. I have often described myself as a
writer used as an instrument by God to glorify Him. As usual, God
would have His way with this story. I was surprised at the direction
in which He led me and the lesson I was taught. |
|
| Although the,
book grew out of the idea of the relationship- between a woman and
her unfaithful husband, God led me to use it to show the believer's
unfaithfulness to Him. |

Coats In My Closet," written as a reflective piece of a wife as she
addresses the infidelity of her husband and his girlfriends, and she
ends up in a powerful dialogue with a powerful and faithful God, using
Proverbs 5:15-23 as the main text. |
