Did you know that one year ago I released my first book? This is so exciting! *Depth: Growing Through Heartbreak to Strength entered the world August 30, 2022.

This week on the podcast I am doing a special birthday episode for the book. I am sharing everything that has happened in the last year in my ministry from my speaking engagements I got because of my book to my podcast. It is a lot of fun! My friend, Karyce who I went to Rwanda with two different times is going to be interviewing me. I think it is special to go back and see the God stories in the ministry especially around the book. I am super excited for you to hear this behind the scenes episode.

I shared on the podcast episode about a shipping delay that crushed my spirit on book launch day. That morning, I had to surrender it all to God. I remember pouring out my heart in a blog post called Trusting God When You Don't Understand the Plan. I recommend reading it if you are struggling at all in understanding God's timing. Here is a link to another blog post called Learning Patience When Plans Change when the Amazon link to preorder was delayed too.
