Follow/ read my friend Carrie! Her journey with trauma will inspire you!

🏃🏻‍♀️ Join my Substack! I’m taking my own advice to “Carrie On”, stay high on Jesus, and to remember that He loves me! He really does!

🫶🏻 I need my own pep talk sometimes. And the reason I share it with you is because I know you do too. We were created to walk this crazy life together.

Can I share some real talk?

🥹 I got so down in June, after caring for my mom for so many years, and then losing her to a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

⤵️ 📚 In July, I did not receive a royalty check. More of my books were returned than were purchased. Did you know people use Amazon as a library?

🫵 😈 Then the lies from the pit of hell started filling my mind…”I don’t need writing. I mean who cares about what I have to write anyway!?! Does anyone really care about the author? Who am I kidding?! Me? A writer?!?”

🖕🏼 wanted to throw my middle finger to the world and drink my wine. 🍷 Sorry, I’m human.

And then, God spoke words of life over me. I was praying the Lord’s Prayer early morning, before I even put my feet on the floor, when God so rudely interrupted me with a loud boom in my heart, and announced, “I made the tree” 🌳

He reminded me of the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30.

He’s given me everything I need.
I just have to invest it wisely.
I shall use it for its intended God given purpose for me.
He made me a tree. 🌳
it’s free!
I must invest my talent generously
I will not listen to the lies of the enemy!
I will move forward confidently
Knowing truth will set me free
In faith I write. Not for me, but
I work for God as it is written in Colossians 3:23

⁉️Am I going to just sulk and look at that tree? Or am I going to build something to grow God’s kingdom obediently?

✍️ So, here I am moving forward in the ups and downs of this life. There’s more to the tree than will fit here. I’ll share it in Substack and in future posts.

📲 log on to Substack and Come follow me
I’m building a new community. 🪚🪵🪓
