How I Came to Realize God’s Call for Me to Write a Book



Sometimes in life, we all have a plan for ourselves like hanging out, cooking, go to work. Take care of the kids, go to church, go to school, etc. but what happens when God redirects the to-do list you had thoughtfully planned? As a kid, I grew up in the church. I knew God was always with me, and I accepted Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. When God redirected me I thought he hated me. I thought that this was the worst feeling of my life. How could God just take me off my path and put me on another path that I didn’t expect to be on? He put me in a situation where I didn't understand why I was there. What was the purpose of his redirecting me?  I prayed and when I started to figure out why he redirected me it allowed me to understand the redirection. I began getting closer to God, trying to understand what he wanted me to do. Things were very confusing at first, but when I started to understand what he wanted me to do, I just did it. When I started doing it I felt at peace, and comfortable. I felt very happy about what I was doing, but I still wanted to understand Why would God want me here in this position doing this type of work. How could it benefit other people? Why did he think that I would be the person? How would I be able to benefit anybody in any type of way or form in my position that I never asked to be in? Throughout the prayer, I realized he was preparing me for this very day. I couldn’t understand why he was preparing me for this day, but I just followed what he said, and it felt like I belonged right where he put me. No matter how hard I tried to run he kept pulling me back to the same place. 


I learned that everything God does is for a reason and according to his will. Sometimes we as people don’t understand why he does the things he does but when we take the time to understand him and know his word, life becomes more clear and it definitely hurts sometimes because we don’t want change we want the same to-do list that we’re normally used to. Praying, fasting, and reading my word are what helped me discover this. When God calls you to do something he will find a way to make sure you align with his will. Things may not seem like it’s going well but just know it’s all a test when God is ready for you to move he will move you in the craziest way you could ever imagine. 



I remember praying and asking him to help me with wisdom, revelation, knowledge, and understanding. When he gave me the answers It wasn’t what I expected it was something better than I expected. Every time I expect God to do something he does it better than what I asked for. Sometimes I felt like he wasn’t listening to me, but I realized what I was praying for, he had a better plan and he continued to show me this consistently throughout my life and now it’s my job to talk and write about what God has done and how he guided me on my path. He wanted me to show his people he is real and he wants me to talk about it. This was hard for me because I was like God what does this have to do with me? You have preachers for that lol,  but he showed me I can reach people some preachers can’t reach. When God put me on this journey I tried to run and he found me. Everyone knows you can’t run from God but we try to mentally. 


If God called you to do something, do it. Nothing will be easy but it will pay off and this will get easier. Trusting God is a hard task and trying to understand him is even harder but just stay focused and you will receive, be patient. Things will take time. I learned I can’t rush God, trust me I tried it didn't work he made me wait longer. So just believe and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you on your journey. Soon I will be releasing a book if you want more on my book sign up for my newsletter and you will be the first to receive updates on the next release. Thanks for taking the time to read about my journey, stay blessed and know that God is in control.
