Author Description

Have you ever heard of testimony service? In the church that I grew up in, like many black churches then and now, we had something called testimony service. Testimony service was when congregants stood up to testify, that is, to bear witness to the goodness of God. Testifying seemed to always bring up some of the worst circumstances that someone could go through. The situations and conditions weren't necessarily favorable. The point of testimony service though wasn't so much what the circumstances were but who God was and is in spite of those circumstances. What you're about to encounter is one big testimony service. Not that anyone's situation or circumstances are perfect even now after the journey they all took together in September 2018. In fact, it's far from it. But what you will find is a renewed faith in the God of second, third, fourth, and infinite chances. What you will find is silver linings on some dark and stormy clouds. What you will find are personal revelations that are helping to push these women closer to the purpose and destiny that God has for their lives. And you will find that all of this is available to you, too. After the testimonies, you’ll find the journal waiting for you to take the same journey for yourself, should you choose to accept the challenge. These ladies aren’t celebrities. They aren't known by the masses yet. They are everyday women who took a chance one day and accepted an invitation to a month-long journaling experience because they saw something that they were seeking: an opportunity; a chance at a change. And they took it! This is a sampling of the fruit of the chance they took on themselves and on God. Take advantage of the precious jewels available in this book. There is a wealth of knowledge, strength, revelation, and great faith sitting between these pages. They await you as you begin your own journey as you follow these bold women through theirs.
