My Story

I had never even considered writing a book, so imagine my surprise when, more than six years ago, the Holy Spirit prompted me to share a part of my life with you.

At first, I was given “nudges”—reminders of how much God has done for me in the past and how it would be good for me to write down all those blessings. Scriptures accompanied those spiritual prompts, especially the one from
Isaiah 12:4, “Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that
His name is exalted.”

The nudges became more insistent over the course of several moths, their intensity increasing in direct proportion to my resistance. The whole idea seemed absurd, although it was true God had indeed blessed me and my family abundantly.

OK—I’ll do it. Work through me in whatever way You will, Lord—all for Your glory,
not mine.
