Faith Is a Verb (e-book) (used book) | Lorraine Ferebee | bookbook.eu

Description

In a time when "Negros knew their place," in a small community hidden behind the cornfields just outside of Virginia Beach, Lorraine Ferebee began a journey that would take her throughout the United States and to Europe. Lorraine Ferebee's parents and grandparents had big dreams for her generation, and Ferebee was taught that Dr. King had marched and died so that she would have opportunities, perhaps become a professional, a doctor or a lawyer. But Ferebee became fascinated with horses at a young age and believed that her destiny would somehow include horses. She wanted to emulate the spirit of the horse, to be a giver, to learn how to acquiesce, to find her true voice and speak her truth. Her life journey did indeed include horses. After years of dedicated training, she was able to enjoy her time riding and teaching while earning a living as an equestrian. But Ferebee's journey was not solely about horses. It was about finding out what motivated her, over and over again, and then going for it, over and over again. Her story is about faith, perseverance, and resilience-that's the realization of the dream that Dr. King preached. Always be curious and open to new interests and new goals. Follow the path in front of you, and the way forward will be made clear.
