    About this ebook

    So often we think God doesn't hear us during our struggles when we cry out to Him. Like many, after praying and not getting a response, I thought it was up to me to find the solutions and answers to struggles I encountered. As a result of my ignorance, I replaced God and His power with what I thought were answers that weren't the answers after all.

    Growing through the Storm is a story of triumphs and lessons learned while trying to find solutions to unwanted circumstances during not one, but two troubled marriages. I share how I clung to attachments such as doubt, fear, worry, self-pity, blame, insecurity, and unworthiness that kept me from receiving what God had in store for me. I share how God revealed Himself to me through the storm and how He used my pain to grow me stronger, wiser, and more confident of His love which led me to an awakening in my spirit and a personal relationship with our Lord.

    Unfortunately, many of us are guilty of living the life that I used to live. If that's you, it doesn't have to be this way. I invite you to take a journey with me by reading my story and trusting that you, too, can be made anew, strengthened, and blessed by turning to Jesus, surrendering your all to Him, and discovering His amazing grace and love He has for you.

    Growing through the Storm includes points to ponder at the end of each chapter with thought-provoking questions and comments including scripture and prayer for personal reflection.

    I pray my story infuses your heart to put your hope in Jesus and His promises to believe, "With God all things are possible," as promised in Matthew 19:26 (NIV) when asked according to His will in His name! Be blessed and be a blessing!

      Longing To Fill The Emptiness Of My Life, I Traded My Body For Money

      Sep 23, 2022

      People ask me why I am so crazy about a God I can’t see. I attended church since young and knew of a God who is holy, but I did not understand how people could serve and obey Him with such fire. I would only find out for myself many years later. Alth
