Romans 3:23 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"
1. Because I knew to beg God for forgiveness and to spare my life at age 15!
2. Because I called on Jesus' s name to spare my life at age 26!
3. Because I obediently listened to God when my soul mate located me from out of the
state that I was living.
4. Because I prayed to God for 9 months and talked to Jesus to get through both of my
HORRENDOUS SUMMER pregnancies! HE enabled me to deliver 2 beautiful
daughters with NO PAIN KILLING DRUGS and in less than 2 hours of labor combined!
5. Because my family prayed for direction after the devastating hit of Hurricane Wilma to
our South Florida home, and we formed a small business.
6. Because my strength comes from HIM to endure what I must to serve.
7. Because logic could not save me from my deathbeds TWICE.

My Testimony (So exactly why did I write this memoir for my children and their children's children?)

A 21st Century Journal of Escape from Slavery
COTTON PICKIN' PAYCHECKTM by Joan E. Gosier
So from my experience, I KNOW what I did and what was done for HIM...I will forever testify and bravely declare that God is real
and he saved my life. Writing this book is the LEAST that I can do for being allowed the opportunity to be alive, well, happy,
hopeful and able to publish this book for others to enjoy!
I have such a long testimony that God has put a book in my heart "Cotton Pickin' Paycheck-A 21st Century Journal of Escape from
Slavery" to organize and capture the profound lessons learned in a uniquely inspiring, truthful yet entertaining fashion. I would
keep U up too many hours and nights on the telephone trying to share all of these thoughts, beliefs and ideas!
Ask my hubby! Ask my kids! Hey, if U are in my circle ...then U know precisely what I mean!
Every day I am putting the finishing touches here and there. I am in constant prayer for God to keep directing my mind and fingers
to put the words EXACTLY the way HE wants them to fall on the pages.
My prayer since I began this book 25 years ago was that it would help save some of the lives of young teenage girls struggling
with self-acceptance. The lessons do NOT discriminate.
My dream is that this book is completed, and it leaves a legacy for my great great grandchildren.
This very unique memoir contains my hopes, my fears, my transformation after receiving Christ, and my daily struggles, but best
of all, I believe this journal provides a direct path to FREEDOM. In making sense of my walk it helps others more confidently take
their own walk.
I believe that when this book is complete, I will be complete and my purpose fulfilled.
