Sometimes we need to have experience in order to save souls. We need to know that God doesn't put us in storms just so that he can make us stronger, yes it does play a role in our lives but you need to know that our scars through those storms aren't just a reminder of victory but a testimony to a soul that needs it

Evolution
There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING.

Short Simple Daily Prayer Book 6
As a Christian who believes in Jesus is to be a Good neighbor, a Good Samaritan like story Jesus told in the bible about the man who didn't expect the man who was robbed to be suspicious or demand he change his ways forcing an ultimatum. While my Christian friends enjoy the prayer books and devotions I have out keep in mind fellow readers I create and publish them infrequently in order to avoid putting myself amongst the too preachy people out there. People who are too preachy turn more non-believers off than it helps. This is also biblically based for me the way I write books that deal with Christianity the whole point of becoming a follower of Christ is first and foremost message is. 'Come Just As You Are.' which is literally captured in the bible when Jesus literally calls his disciples forward. That is why in each description of my Christian orientation book this friendly message occurs. "I am a Christian but all non-believers are welcome to these pages. I will not force anyone to believe in anything as that's not what Christianity is about and whether you believe in God and Jesus isn't up to me but your own responsibility. I can't make your mind up for you; it has to be your decision, not mine or any of my fellow current Christians' decisions."_Lumna10. P. S. This book will not be for retails. So don't ask about publishing it anywhere else. All my prayer and devotion books are up so that people who cannot buy books and don't have time or internet access or a library in the area near them can learn about God and his promises in a non-judgemental and non-pressurizing way. I do my best to keep them as impartial as possible my personal relationship with God is not likely going to be the same as yours. Devotions in book, I found were anonymous.Complete
How to Find Purpose and Peace: Why Am I Here?
Why am I here? What is my purpose? What is the meaning of life? Why am I alive? It seems that since the dawn of time we have been asking ourselves this very question. Kings and philosophers have puzzled and theorized, and paupers and plebeians toil under the sun wondering if there's more to life. Even today we seem to be frantically running here or there trying to get the latest scoop, wondering if someone has finally figured it out. People look high and low, and they try a number of things only to still feel unhappy and dissatisfied. In my own life, the only thing that has made me truly happy and given me peace for my soul is God. He has been the chief help in combating my anxiety and depression. For me, God has been the foundation that I've placed my life around and have built my identity. I write about how I've found purpose, peace and how you can too! Jesus loves you and has an amazing plan for your life! Buckle up, and let's read about the purpose of your life and how to find real peace!Complete
Anchored To Hope
In everything we face, every predicament that comes our way, there is always two ways of looking at it. Circumstances come for a reason. There are meant to make us grow, to make us become better and blossom into more. They don't come so that we shrink to less but so that we become more splendid. To be more extraordinary. To use every moment to fill yourself up.We are not helpless as God's people, neither are we vulnerable to the wiles of the enemy. It's the reason we can count it all joy when we go through diverse tests: we have what it takes to go through the fire and not be burnt, and go through the waters and not drown.Complete

My Highlighted Bible Verses
No one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. You can learn by reading His Word, the Bible. God will let you understand what He wants you to understand, when He wants you to understand, and how He wants you to understand - He is the only one who really understands you. Are we living in the end of time? Only God knows that, but there are some telling signs in the Bible. The only thing we can really do is love and trust God. Here is how I post my entries - I open the Bible and post what I see, at least about 90% of the time. I really feel that God or the Holy Spirit is directing me. I can't explain some of them. Hey, I am just a normal sinner like everyone else. I need and ask for His forgiveness daily. I feel, if God wants you to, you will read my entries, well, His entries.Complete

God-confident!
If you have paid for a copy of this e-book, please demand for your money back because this is free. Please feel free to give out a copy of this e-book to everyone you know who needs it. I have written this for confused women who don't know how to value themselves. I've written this book for that young lady who doesn't see her worth. I have written this for that insecure girl who wants to take her own life because she feels her life isn't worth living anymore. May God use the words in this to breathe life into tired souls. What makes me qualified to write this kind of e-book? I can tell you that I was once very insecure about myself. I have been all that I've mentioned above. When I was a child, I had death wishes. When I grew into a teenager, I wanted to kill myself or wanted to disappear and be invisible. When I grew into adulthood, I was so insecure about my own self-worth that I let it stop me from living the life I was supposed to live. But I outgrew all of these because I grew confident - confident of God and myself. I won't say that I've reached the perfect level of confidence but I grew up a lot. In this e-book, I will talk about confidence and identity. I hope you will take the time to take this growth development with me. I have made this a God-book because after all - God is the source of confidence.Complete
