It’s been a journey up to this point and I’m praying it continues to be more of the same. For the past two years God has prompted my heart to put words on a page: not just any words, but words filled with His power.

I don’t share this to try to prove to you that my book is more than it really is, but just to encourage you that God has a purpose for every single one of us. Even if Anchored In had never been published, God used the words within its pages to change me.

He gave me truth and hope and courage to move beyond what once was into a new place of freedom. It’s a place where truth trumps trauma and love cancels out the lies of the enemy. This place is the presence of our mighty God.

And here I am trembling in His presence grasping to the truth He entrusted to me. I am offering it to you.

So I hold out my hands and give you this book, this gift, this journey. And I say with all my heart, “Me too!” I’ve been there in the darkness of life wondering how I would ever make it through. I’ve searched for God in the depths of life’s hardest moments and begged God for relief. I’ve cried out with all my heart to see a little glimpse of why God allows such difficult circumstances in the lives of His children. And I’ve found an answer.

So today, I offer it to you. With hands still shaking in awe of who God is, I give you the simple words He’s given me. I can’t hold them up as a trophy that I have won. It’s only because of Him that I can even write one word.

So all I can say is, here it is.

And now it’s up to you.

I know Anchored In is not for everyone. But I also know who it is for. It’s for the broken ones. The ones who know life is too complicated to put into words sometimes. It’s for the ones who can’t wrap their minds around the circumstances they find themselves in or can’t understand what the future holds.

If that’s you, take my hand. Let’s walk this journey together. Let’s take a look at what God tells us in those deep, dark moments of life and let’s find the answers we are searching for.

And now for a little fun, let’s have a GIVEAWAY!
