Christian Author Positioned Herself To Publish First Book
By Kelly Wise Valdes - October 1, 2021 Positioned is the first book and labor of love published by Kimberley Papa and is now available for purchase on Amazon. Local resident and Osprey Observer writer Tatiana Ortiz is the featured photographer.Lakewood Ranch resident Kimberley Papa has launched her first book, Positioned, which comprises a fascinating collection of spirit-filled poems, prophecies, prayers and Bible scriptures along with beautiful photographs and pictures. Papa was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts and moved to Lakewood Ranch 25 years ago, where she currently resides with her family. Her book has been more than two years in the making, and her prayers finally came true this past August when her book, Positioned, was published and made available on Amazon. “For the past 12 years I have been on the potter’s wheel being molded, sifted, refined and few times back on the wheel for scolding and remolding,” said Papa. “But during it all, with a hungry heart always seeking and longing for my heart to beat at the same rhythm as our Almighty Father, YHWH, as His will is my life’s journey.” Papa was listening intently with the guidance of the Holy Spirit while writing her book. “The name Positioned came about by hearing for months in my spirit the word—‘position’—therefore, I have a passion affiliated with the title to lead others on how to position in purity before our Almighty YHWH (God) to hear His voice, to praise and to be set free,” said Papa. “Along with the launching of Positioned, there will be a Positioned in Purity website with specific prayers, mini courses on how to be set free and delivered. Prophecies, all materials, teachings and prayer pamphlets will be free. Along with welcoming others to request prayer, myself and the Positioned Team will be ready to minister and pray. Again, my passion is to see the body set free.” There is an upcoming book signing in October (exact date to be announced) at Angela’s Pure Salon & Spa in Sarasota. Papa is also available for speaking engagements throughout the area, in person or virtually.

Positioned can be purchased at www.amazon.com and comes in a Kindle version or paperback with ‘his’ and ‘her’ covers.

LOCAL AUTHOR STAYS TRUE TO HER BELIEFS
Jay Heater Editor (speaking),“Well, you never know.” In fact, I am envious of those who are certain of their own relationship with God, especially with so much uncertainty in the world. That was the case when Kimberley Papa walked into my Lakewood Ranch Main Street office. Lakewood Ranch’s Papa has just self-published her first book, “Positioned.” Her description of “Positioned” reads: “In reverence and awe, I share with you, hidden gems of a writer’s pen. I invite you to position yourself to hear with your spiritual senses and see through a new lens. As you journey through these pages, may you feel the heart of the Ruach HaKodesh - Papa is a woman who is absolutely certain of her relationship with God, not saying you should be like her, but instead seek YHWH (God) with all of your heart and find Him for yourself. Positioned is poetry in nature with the hope that her words, prayers and prophecy will inspire many in a positive way. Although Papa admits she has a message she wants to share, The book Positioned is a guide to lead one to the lover of your soul, and perhaps a different point of view on life and the relationship with God. “This book is not for everyone,” she said. “But there's is a little something for everybody.” The fact that the 297-page book is available on Amazon or by going to Papa’s website, PositionedInPurity.com, is somewhat of a miracle in itself for Papa. “I never thought I would be an author,” Papa said. But two years ago, upon waking up each morning I started to hear poetry in my spirit. “I now always have a journal beside my bed,” I started to journal each piece as they came to me. Then one day upon reaching over ninety plus, Papa said; “All right God, what do you want me to do with this?” The answer was to publish her poetry, where the beginning of Positioned was set in motion to be birthed. “To me, it was easy,” she said. “Because it is so personal, it was fun and inspiring.
Tatiana Ortiz, the books featured photographer, who is also a journalist, mixed in her collection of beautiful photographs to complement the poetry. Ortiz said it was an honor to work with her Kim, “She is very sweet and very encouraging,” Ortiz said. “She is very honest, and she cares about people.” Papa, doesn’t attend any particular church. She believes in church without walls and that there is only ONE Creator of Heaven and Earth- One Elohiym (God).
As a kid, I always loved to journal, write and draw, said Papa, my mother, (Suzanne Iarrobino), remembers some little pieces of poetry that she had put together as a young girl.
Papas’s direction changed drastically when she was 43, after doctors found a tumor in the Tectal plate in her brain. She said doctors told her she had less than a 20% chance to live. She was house-bound and remembers saying, “God, you have my attention.” A few months later, after saying she felt the glory of God upon her, Papa went for a doctor’s appointment and was told the tumor was gone. “The doctors told me they didn’t understand it,” she said. “If you are seeking the impossible, I am here to tell you it is possible, not one thing is to small or too great for our Almighty Elohiym, creator of heaven and earth,"
Papa moved to the East County area 25 years ago and along with her husband, Mark, owned Legacy Advisors in Sarasota and worked as financial advisers (which Mark still maintains to this day on referral only). Kim retired 15 years ago, where she and her husband enjoy the beauty of Gods creation. Whether or not you “Hear the thundering of his voice within your spirit,” you can enjoy the way Papa looks at the world around her in “Positioned.” “It was all inspired, all through prayer, for the kingdom of God,” Papa said. “I believe there is a little something in Positioned for everyone. When someone opens this book, just allow the breath of Elohiym (God) to breath upon and inspire you."
Local author stays true to her beliefs.
