Have you ever experienced a “stripping away”? While many of us expect that giving our lives over to God will result in smoother sailing, this week’s Publishing Secrets guest, Latoya Washington, found the opposite to be true. In her own words, “all hell broke loose” as soon as she re-dedicated her life to the Lord. From losing everything in a flood to an assault that sent her into a spiral of self-blame, Latoya went through a period of nonstop loss and trauma. But her story didn’t end there – Latoya poured out her heart in poetry, and now she uses her writing to offer hope to others who have suffered like she did. Listen and be inspired by Latoya’s story of hope, healing, and trusting God when all seems lost.
