Nonhlanhla Annah

 

My name is Thusi Nonhlanhla Annah, born in 1991 June 06. I live in South Africa. My father died when I was seven years old and I grew up watching my mother struggling to put food on the table and to get us clothes to wear. I only possess a matric certificate because I didn't have money to study farther.

 

I always enjoyed writing poems from school but didn't know that there's a talent hidden in that. After my matric I went to college to study chemical engineering but didn't finish because of money, from then I began praying God to fill my mind with ideas that could make a change in my life. From there I began writing a book titled “the shadows of the past”. Well it was a good novel but I didn't like it because I didn't relate with the it (It wasn't describing my mission as a writer). I'm a born again Christian who wants to bring change in people's life and make sure that they understand that without God we are nothing. I decided to destroy the book and prayed again that “God if I have managed to write the first book I can still write the other one with your help, not just the book, but the book that can motivate people and bring the best out on them.” That's when I started writing “you are God's masterpiece”.

I love writing and I believe that there are more books in me, books that will encourage people to live their dreams and prevent them from going down the graves with their God's given talent.

 

I don't blame God for anything that is on my past. Everything happened according to the purpose of God. Now I know that all things works together for good to them that trust in God

 

In this book I have used lots of my experiences, for an example, I live in a shack yet my brains are not captured by the surroundings. I used the circumstances that most of the youth in South Africa come across, encouraging them to conquer the situations and become the bests.

You have a special glare, keep shining, and don't forget to keep faith in everything that you do. Without faith it is impossible to please God and to achieve anything. By faith mountains are moved.
