As I begin to inch closer and closer towards August my mind is doing circles around my heart. What I mean is my worries and feelings of inadequacy try to get in the way of what I know God has planned and is lining up specifically in my life as we speak. After all, His handiwork in this entire process has been evident to me from the beginning.
What’s August you ask? Well, aside from the month I’ll turn 37 it’s also the month that my book tentatively titled The Journey will be released by my publisher Winslet Press. Pretty exciting. And scary. And overwhelming. But most importantly, a dream come true.
You see my friends, I honestly felt led by God to write this book. I’ve been nonchalant to most and a bit vague on its content, but it’s a big deal. I just really felt like God wanted me to share this story.
The Journey is a Christian Memoir that details the story of my life and how God delivered me from the pain of rejection. It is a brutally honest account that holds nothing back and releases the true story of me and the things and people that have affected me along the way.
Y’all, although titled a “Christian” memoir, this book has a lot of ugly in it! It is raw truth. It is the story of a life changed, a sinner saved. It’s a story of redemption and a story of healing.
I intermittently experienced shame and fear over the thought of anyone reading the content, but God just kept speaking to my heart. I felt so certain that He wanted to use my life as a testimony that I was able to move past my past. I was able to put it all down on paper so that God could use it for His glory.
I feel that strongly about it.
As I get closer to making this book happen I will need a little help from you my friends. I will need your help to deliver this story to others so that they may see the goodness of God, so that they may see how He heals and changes a person from the bottom up.
I’m a new author and will be starting small. Word of mouth will make my book grow and flourish. With your help I think we can get this book into a lot of hands. With the Holy Spirit my hope is that it can change lives.
I’m currently developing what is called a Street Team. I’ve created a page on the blog dedicated to this group, this chance to help me deliver my heart to those who need to hear it. Consider joining my team. You can read more about it on my Street Team page. I’ve provided a link here.
If you don’t feel like you can commit I completely understand. I still hope you’ll read the book and tell your friends about it. You can be a huge help by just being my fan! Thank you for your support.
