Book excerpt: I grew up in church but sometimes I would get loss with the translation of what God’s word really meant and how it applied to my life. The stronger I grew in the word and in my prayer life I learned how to break down the scriptures and have them make meaning in helping me learn the will of God and how to be an encouragement to others. In some of the most difficult times I faced I knew God would not leave me nor forsake me so my faith and my praise got me through. I lost a lot of things but I never lost my praise. When life knocked the wind out of me and I couldn’t go any further I learned to crawl my way through. Today I want to encourage you to do the same. Allow me to help you navigate through God’s word while being encouraged and blessed.
