It began with a nudge to share.
For quite some time, I had been feeling nudges to document and share the signs from God that I had experienced in my own life.
I had written down my own stories and even reached out to friends and Facebook contacts, hoping to gather their experiences and eventually create a compilation of stories for a book.
But nothing surfaced.
I was disappointed and a little deflated. So when the idea of posting in my local community Facebook group came to me, I initially brushed it off.
Then came the morning of January 30, 2015.
I was praying when I felt His presence so strongly, urging me to make that post. This time there was no hesitation. I got up before I had even finished my prayers and began writing.
Good morning! I don't usually do this, but here goes . . . I'm working on a special project and would love to hear about the signs that God has given you that meant the most to you in your life. I've been reaching out in hopes of pulling together a compilation of stories and thought why not start in my own community! I would love to hear your stories! Feel free to PM me.
The rest was up to Him.
Once I clicked “post,” I took a deep breath and sat back.
What happened next was breathtaking and, to me, could only be God driven.
That one Facebook post became the beginning of a story I never could have imagined and eventually became my first book, Signs from God.
Discover Signs from GodA community grew from the book.
Signs from God did not end when the book was published.
I originally created the Signs from God Facebook Group as a way to promote the book, continue the conversation and hopefully collect even more personal stories for a future Signs from God II.
Over time, it became something more.
It became a place where people could share their own God moments, encourage one another and talk about those experiences that sometimes seem far too perfectly timed to simply be coincidence.
And I am still collecting those stories today.
Join the Signs from God CommunityHave You Ever Had a Sign from God?
Something that seemed too perfectly timed to be a coincidence? A person who showed up exactly when you needed them? A song, a message, a heart shaped rock or a moment that made you stop and think, “Okay God, I hear you.”
Those are the stories I love. If you have experienced one of those moments, I would love to welcome you into the Signs from God community.
Break Down Your Walls
My second book came from a very different chapter of my life.
After several years of overwhelming stress, I reached a point where my body simply could not take anymore. I suffered a heart attack, and suddenly I had no choice but to stop.
What followed was a journey of healing, self reflection and taking a much deeper look at who I was, how I was living and who God created me to be.
Be the Person God Created You to Be . . . Be a Better You!
This book is about struggle, recovery, personal growth and learning that sometimes changing your life begins by breaking down the walls you have built around yourself.
Discover Break Down Your WallsSometimes an ending is really a beginning.
When I look back now, I can see how one nudge led to a Facebook post, that post led to a book, the book led to a community, and life experiences I never would have chosen gave me another story to write.
Maybe that is why I have learned to pay attention to those little signs along the way.
Because sometimes what feels like the end of one chapter is really the beginning of another.
