Letters from God is God himself telling her what to write for him. She was only about the age of eighteen when this started. She would get the urge to write whenever the Lord would tell her to write. This whole book is truly only from God because she didn't finish school, only went to sixth grade. She can't read or write too well. Monica knew it was God instantly from the first time she wrote down one of her little letters from God in her phone, and when she stopped and read it, she knew it was God writing for her with her own hands because it was nothing like how she usually talks or spells.

Instead, I concentrated on establishing a career and experiencing a life that did not include children.

Living with my mother and stepfather, I had everything I needed. I had dreams, but everything was pitch-black. I would wake up and see nothing. However, when I moved to my grandmother's house, I began to have dreams that I could see clearly, though I didn't understand them. I would tell others about my dreams, but they didn't understand either. As I got older, the dreams never went away.
