Handle It
by Joyce Harriet


“HANDLE IT” is an Autobiography beginning with Joy’s early childhood into its present time. She is forced to “handle” whatever situation that comes her way. At 8 years old she’s already living in a “survival for the moment” mode. Her past continued to influence her future in a very harmful and regrettable way. Joy learned to dismiss people and situations in her life as a “coping mechanism” whenever she felt threatened, violated, and or mistreated in order to move towards her next plan. Yet through her struggles she still had the innate capacity to rise and find her way. At age 34 after strong encouragement from her then female lover, she was led to God. Years later, while praying during a fasting period, Joy received what she believed as instructions from God to read (The Holy Bible) from the beginning. Through her obedience to God she believed she was then inspired by God to write her life’s story. Little did Joy know that she would become “Gods’ hands extended” with the hopes of inspiring others who may have gone through similar situations. Writing “HANDLE IT” allowed Joy to deal with all the pain she had kept deep inside for so long of which influenced her behaviors. Thus, understanding this is part of her Sanctification process, trusting when her life is over, God will say, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: “Mathew 25 v21
