Author Description

For decades, I was stuck in emotional cycles of anger, fear, sadness, control, and manipulation. I felt down and defeated and was not aware of God's unconditional love for me. There was a blockage in my chest that I couldn't get past. My heart was numb. I felt mostly anger and fear. Joy didn't come as often or as easily. I wanted to change but didn't know where to begin. My self-worth was determined by the moods, words, and actions of those around me. I was both filled with rage and afraid of not being approved of. I'd been raised in church but didn't know that religion is different than a relationship with My Creator. I thought God was angry and waiting to punish me at the slightest misstep. Because of the emotional abuse I'd endured, I'd developed untrue beliefs about myself. I felt unworthy, rejected, disapproved of, and ashamed. Once I started telling my truth and taking responsibility for my thoughts and feelings, I began to process what had taken place in my life that led me here. Told with humor, honesty, and encouragement, you'll read my stories of success and failure along with the practical mindsets and spiritual measures I discovered on my path to inner peace. This book is for those who want to find freedom from pain, anger, and emotional hell, those who want to feel peace in their hearts, but don't know where to begin. You're not alone. This is the story about how I got in touch with my heart and my God who lives there. It's the extension of my hand to a brother or sister, saying, "I'll walk back into my hell to help you get free from yours." For God's glory and your freedom in Christ Jesus, may you know the peace only He can give.
