In 2021, I began to navigate the waters of anxiety. The anxiety that I faced was more than just an anxious feeling. It was crippling. It was debilitating. It became such a stronghold that I couldn't even go into my kitchen without having a panic attack. The walk to the car felt impossible and the drive to the store was terrible. I have never had a dream of becoming a writer. I did write a few things for my kids when they were younger. I could never find stories or devotionals that were exactly what I was looking for, so I would write them myself. As I said, writing was never my dream. I did love writing songs, but books were never something that I wanted to make a career out of. Fast forward to 2021. This was the start of a really long journey. One with so many trials. So many obstacles. But through these obstacles, I felt God's presence. The nights when I would lay awake crying. The days when I just felt like I wanted to give up. To give up on ever leaving the house. I felt God so close to me. Finding strength in God when I had none. Because when I was weak, He was strong. After about 7 months of living with anxiety, fear, and panic, I felt it on my heart to start writing down my journey. Ever since the beginning of writing, I knew that God would use this testimony to show others what happens when you press on. When you persevere, even when you want to give up. This journey has been far from easy. It's been hard and difficult. In these pages you will find pain, but you will also find hope, healing, and a God who never fails. There were days when I woke from dead sleep to write, because God put something on my heart to share. What started as me writing my journey turned into a book of love, healing, and messages that I hope you will find more of God in.
