Book

I just wanted to let everyone know that my book is out. The title is: Not Mine Alone. It chronicles my journey through abuse, addiction, mental illness, promiscuity, unplanned pregnancy, redemption and healing.
There is language and some graphic drug usage in the book. It's not gratuitous. It's what was said and what happened during that period of my life.
The ultimate message of the book is that, no matter how deep you are in darkness and despair, hope and healing is possible through Christ.

You can buy the book on Amazon or on the Dorrance publishing website. If you buy through Dorrance, I will receive more of the proceeds.
I will also be having a book signing at Full Circle books on December 15 starting at 3 p.m. I will send out another reminder as it gets closer to the time.

I hope you are blessed by it.
P.S. Please tell anyone that you think may benefit from this book.

I walked into my bedroom to find that Sam had decided to take over my spot on the bed. 😄❤❤

I am reading Gary Comer's book, Soul Whisperer.
In it, he says that we are empowered to do the Lord's work by what we have gone through.
God takes our brokenness, comforts us, and then redeems it for his redemptive plan.
Your life becomes a bridge for the gospel. Do not underestimate the significance of how your story connects.

Identification + Insight = Impact

Juliette

About a month ago, I posted about a girl in France named Juliette. I almost unfollowed her because of some really inappropriate things she was posting on Twitter.

Last night she sent me a direct message asking me about God. She also had questions about sex, and if I think homosexuality is a sin.

I answered her questions the best way I knew how, and when she stopped responding, I didn't pressure her to talk any further. I see God's hand in this, and I will wait on Him to open more doors for further discussion with her.

An important question

I clearly heard God's voice. He asked me a very poignant question:

"Why do you settle for mediocrity when I sent my Son to give you abundant life"?

Very convicting, but what a privilege to have the King of kings speak to you! 🙌🙌

Fellowship

Had a great day of Christian fellowship yesterday.
First, I had lunch with one of my closest friends and accountability partner.

Then, that evening, I went to recovery small group at church. I had a great time connecting with these Christian women who are also in recovery.
We talked and laughed about all the ridiculous things we've done and still do!
Knowing that God's grace covers it all. 🙌🙌

Sometimes there are no words needed between friends.
