I woke in the wee hours of the morning the other day thinking thoughts about weakness, talking it over with the Lord. A simple white and black picture came to mind. It was an image of a person standing on a huge boulder and on that boulder were the words "Christ my Rock." Like a boxer who has been knocked down over and over but refuses to stay down, this person was hunched over, barely able to stand, gloves up and determined to keep fighting. "That's me, isn't it Lord?" Weakened, yet hating to be weak; defeated, yet refusing to let weakness take me down. Then another image presented itself alongside the first. This one had the same rock, but rather than standing, I was lying face down and spread eagle, completely limp on the Rock. No longer fighting weakness but embracing it. Embracing it  because I was embracing Christ. "That's how you want me to be, right Lord?" But no, there was one more thing the Lord wanted to add to this picture. ...

A fun book signing event was held at the Emmaus Bible College Coffee Bean. Had a great time anc conversations with those who came!   

As a missionary in Mexico, I encountered a young woman whose struggles with sin resembled mine, but though I believed with all my heart that Christ offered her the answer, I realized that I personally had not experienced enough victory in my own life to help her. All I could do was share in her frustration and constant struggle. I felt like a child pretending to be a grown-up. Since then, through the Word and conviction of the Spirit, the Lord has continually brought me back to the truth that the only thing my flesh is good for is dying.

It has become my passion and joy to help them break free from the cycle of defeat that had me trapped for so long.

The first concept of this book was to be a mentoring guide for walking in the Spirit. It was in answer to a self-proposed question: if I could teach young women one thing that would equip them to continue following Christ after leaving Emmaus Bible College, what would that be? I quickly realized that I would first have to understand what it meant to walk by the Spirit. How could I teach what, for me personally, had always ended in frustrated failures? This time my approach would be different. This time I would start by taking out the opposition, i.e. the flesh. Study guide questions needed more explanation. The explanations needed explanations. That’s when I felt the nudging of the Lord to do something I had never dreamed of doing – write a book. This book has been entirely the Lord’s idea. Every step has been a walk of faith, and along every step He has shown Himself to be faithful. The outline was His. I know this because it just spilled out onto the page. Some of the s...
