Back with another look inside the book. This post features my personal testimony about how insecurity and distorted love led me to bondage-forming relationships in my teens and early twenties.

A look inside the book: From Wilderness Chapter 1.

Silence creates room for the voice of doubt to creep in. Silence tempts us to lean on our own understanding. And yet silence is the offering for so many in one of the most sacred areas in our lives--our relationships. It's because of this silence that worldly wisdom still heavily influences Christian dating. And the prominence of it makes the voice of fear all the more believable. But the truth is, God is never really silent. Sometimes His voice is just harder to hear.

The English word "acknowledge" is a translation of the Hebrew phrase "to know." The Hebrew translation of this portion of the verse would read very closely to "in all your ways, know Him." Simply speaking, do everything according to His word. An even deeper interpretation comes when we consider what "to know" meant in the ancient times. "To know" means to become one with. To acknowledge Him in all our ways means to live as one with Him. Live as one with His word.

My debut Christian non fiction title serves as encouragement for new believers or those newly surrendered to Christ. Your struggles do not negate your salvation. They are proof that God is working in you and preparing you for abundance. But before He can bring you into the abundance that is promised, there are specific wounds He must heal and lies He must defeat. If you’re ready to make sense of your wilderness season, then this book is for you.

This month, we dive deeper into how a Proverbs 31 woman cares for those she is not responsible for, how she serves in her community, and has a heart of compassion for the less fortunate. Scripture tells us she seeks out, she reaches out. A Proverbs 31 woman is a woman of kingdom impact because she doesn't wait to be asked. She fulfills the need of the needy without prompting. She gives generously and offers wisdom freely. She is compassion in action.
