The Journey: From Dreams to Devotionals
When I first had imagined becoming an author, I must admit my initial attempts were to create a children’s book. There were several starts and stops, but never a complete work. For years, I placed the idea of writing out of my mind. I did journal for years. It was more of a personal outlet. An opportunity to communicate my thoughts and prayers onto paper. Little did I know that God was using that time as preparation. In 2019, a desire to write about my experiences in my faith and relationship with God resulted in my first published book: Cultivating Faith. The 365-day devotional took two and half years to write and over seven months to get published. It was truly an act of obedience to the calling I felt God had placed in my heart. There were several times I convinced myself that what I had to share could not really impact other Christians. However, I persevered and finished what I started. It is my act of going and declaring the gospel to others.
This month, my second book: Cultivating Faith: Growing Deeper is set to launch. This is a 90-day devotional book. There are at least 3 more 90-day devotional books to come in time. I continue to write. Amazed that God took the desire of my heart and generated something I had never imagined. The personal growth to me has been the best part of the journey. Knowing that when I dedicate time to write, God shows up to reveal something to me and hopefully my readers, just blesses me beyond all measure.
