Grace is the strength bestowed on us when we are bleeding, broken, confused, torn, and done with trying to figure out the part of life that makes no sense. Let us all admit we have experienced dark, bleak, and difficult life experiences that don’t make sense. You feel as if you are in a sea, an ocean with clusters of seaweed and rubbish, mangled in the rocks and repeatedly hit by the high tides of muddy water. Life itself has a way of provoking you to quit trying to be the person you always dreamed of becoming. Or it can discourage you from trying to live a life of peace and harmony. However, grace is the friend that gives you the strength to rise and move forward. Admittedly, moving forward can be scary. Why? We fear any fall or disappointment ahead may be worse than the last time. Moving past the very thing that caused you to be stuck in the first place can be intimidating. It takes lots of energy to swim to the shore…

In this book, you will find gentle reminders of grace. I highlight stories from the Word of God when grace was present. You will also read constant reminders of how the Enemy operates for he is relentless! I use similes and metaphors to encourage you to examine your life and see how grace has been at work in you. I am not an expert but a writer inspired by the Holy Spirit. This is a book of thoughts and truths that will inspire you to see the beauty in life, but you must do the work to enjoy it. We are not perfect. We live in a real-world with real problems. We all have a “from,” a point where our journeys began, but with God’s grace, we are going somewhere. The truth is we do not have to live in deep waters. We have a choice. I pray by faith that this book teaches you how to swim.
