Hi everyone! This is my very first book, and I am super excited about it!

This isn’t just a devotional—it’s my story, told in pieces.
Each of the 30 devotions begins with a slice of my testimony—real moments from my life where God was at work, even when I couldn’t see it. Some are lighthearted and full of laughter. Others are raw, unfiltered, and soaked in tears. But every single one has the same thread running through it: God was in the center of it all.

Though I share my personal story, this book isn’t really about me—it’s about the goodness of God. Every page points back to His mercy, His faithfulness, and His unfailing love. All the glory belongs to Him.

I share my testimony in hopes of encouraging others who have faced similar trials, so they know they are not alone. Some of the topics I address are the very ones society tends to avoid or label in a certain way—but society’s opinion doesn’t matter. God is the One who will pull you through.

Through Scripture, reflection questions, and “Faith in Action” steps, you’ll not only see how God carried me through my messes—you’ll be invited to find Him in yours. These devotions will meet you in the everyday moments of life, helping you recognize His hand in both the ordinary and the life-altering.

It’s a journey that will bring smiles, stir your heart, and leave you with a deep sense of peace, knowing you are never alone. No matter the mess, the miracle, or the season—God is in it with you. Always.

If you are led to read it, I would greatly appreciate a review. Since I am a new author, I appreciate any constructive criticism offered.
