He Uttered “Soulmate”

Book Cover & Preview Text
I woke up Christmas morning 2005 and even though my eyes were open, I could not see anything. It was totally dark, and I could not see. I was totally blind. Not from lack of light; my eyesight was gone. I lie in bed for a few seconds to make sure I was awake and not dreaming. I was not really scared, but was beginning to get a little concerned when I heard the Holy Spirit say, “Someone significant is going to die after Christmas.” I got really afraid then because I thought that maybe that someone was me. I do feel I am significant. I tried to contain my thoughts and wondered who the Holy Spirit was referring to. Was it going to be me? My father, who is almost 90? Or Esprit, My daughter? I had to summon patience, nonexistent at the time just as it was when my mother was in the hospital for six months in 1997, the year before she passed away.

About the Book
God works in mysterious ways. Both in love and in life, in sickness and in health, and in success and in failure, God is present in our lives, guiding us forward along his path. But do we always listen for his instructions? Do we always stay on the path? And do we always trust in him, even when the circumstances and people in our lives aren’t going along as we planned? He Uttered “Soulmate” tells the story of one woman’s journey to stay on God’s path—even as she struggles with unrequited love from her soulmate. With each revelation she has along the way, author Athena Coleman finds that these interventions are crafted especially for her, and through it all she finds that the utterances of the Holy Spirit communicate divine completeness and fullness. From her early years moving to the Mid-South, becoming a mother, and dealing with her love for Tristan, walk in Athena’s shoes as a young woman matures and ultimately finds her second wind in life and in faith. God does not give the spirit of fear, and although the path he sets before us can seem scary or uncertain, the destination holds a happiness and fulfilment that only eternity in the Lord can provide. He Uttered “Soulmate” reminds us to listen for the words and guidance of the Holy Spirit, so that we too can enjoy our destinies.
About the Author
On weekdays, Athena Coleman works as a health documentation specialist in the Mid-South. She can be found catching up on the reading of two books in the same time period, one she reads at home while penning short stories of her own, and the other during break at work. Athena feels that her early love for books and being the 2nd runner up in her elementary school spelling bee has helped her tremendously with writing stories. She is extremely excited about this work of nonfiction which she says fits under the genre of “Amazing Stories” but is a memoir. She says, “Life may not give you everything you want, but you may get some surprises.
