Everything about my life has changed since publishing this book. Not the tangible things that I can see and feel, but the things about myself that I have been too afraid to see. For the first time in a long time, I don’t fear what tomorrow might bring. I'm not afraid to dream big. I have learned that if God puts that thing in my spirit, it's there for a reason and I have to be patient and let God reveal it to me when it's time. Not my time, but in His time. I know that God is with me in whatever it is that He is leading me to do, so I don't have to fear. I just have to trust Him.

It's amazing how God does that. As you become more confident in Him and in His word, He reveals more and more of Himself to you. I am so excited about the things that God is doing in my life and I want to be able to share that with the people who read my books. One of the things that I pray is that God will show Himself strong in my life and in the lives of all of those that I love and care about. And now, I pray that for you. I pray that you know God in a way that you’ve never known Him before and that you never doubt for a minute that He loves you more than anything. Let your mind conceive the things that God has in store for you and don’t be afraid to let yourself dream.

See you next time.

Be Blessed!

I am finally beginning to actually feel like an author. It felt so strange to have someone ask me to sign my book. At first, I was so nervous that my hand shook. Thank God, that is getting a little easier. Although, I still can’t get used to seeing my name on a book cover. That just blows my mind and each time I pull out one of my books, it feels like the first time. I don’t want to ever lose that feeling.

My next step is to learn the business side of writing. This is a new area for me and I love a good challenge, but this is one area where I can’t afford to cut corners. I’m excited and a little intimidated, but eager to learn everything I can. I know that as long as I keep my eyes focused on God and His plan for my life, He’ll supply everything I need.

I’m looking forward to this next leg of the journey.

Stay tuned!

I have been so inspired and so blessed by the feedback I have received on, Let My Life Be A Testimony. This book has allowed me to grow in areas that I never thought were possible and hearing how it has blessed others is confirmation of what God spoke to my heart when He first gave me this dream.

When God gave me the vision for this book, it was too big for me to comprehend. My mind wouldn’t wrap around the thought that I would actually write a book or that anyone would want to read it, but God said trust Me and He wouldn’t let me quit.

When the book was done, I actually wanted to keep on writing, because I felt like it wasn’t enough. I wanted it to be like one of the books that Joyce Meyer or T.D. Jakes had written, but God said no and nothing I could do would change His mind (let me tell you, I tried). Eventually, I had to learn that this little book was exactly what it was supposed to be.

God’s plan is so perfect. I can’t even begin to comprehend what God has in store for me, but I know that I love Him and I want Him to be able to trust me. I want Him to know that when He says go—I will, and when He says trust Him—I will. His word says that He will never leave me nor forsake me. And I believe Him.

Thank you so much for being a part of this journey!

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Be Blessed!
