Can these dry bones live?
I know you are wondering, dry bones, this doesn't make any sense. What are dry bones? They are situations in your life that keep holding you back. They are the trials and tribulations in your life that weigh you down and you think you can't go on. Sometimes you are ready to throw in the towel and give up. Sounds familiar; I know, I've felt that way many times. Choosing my husband (ex-husband); dropping out of college early (19 years old) - barely got started; divorced; scared to live alone for fear of not having enough to pay the bills. Am I hitting home yet? How about experiencing relationships with men thinking they would help me, but instead, I wound up getting hurt or abused, and had to deal with a lot of unnecessary "drama". What about letting people live with you, family members and friends? It starts out being for one month , and then turns into a year or more. I know you get the picture by now! Then they have the nerve to say they're doing you a favor or, if you want me out you have to get an eviction notice - mind you, they're not paying any rent!
Yes, this strong, confident, independent black woman, can hold her own; me going through the "go-throughs" of life, trying to hold on. I first had to recognize that these experiences were keeping me down, killing me. These were my dry bones.

About the Book
Encourage Your Soul was written to help Christian believers understand that even in their darkest moments, God is always there.
Oftentimes we are so consumed with the everyday trials of life that we neglect to put our focus where it really belongs. We identify with so many issues in our life that as much as we say we have confidence and faith in God, we will waiver when it comes to our own personal issues.
There are times when we look to others to get us through when all we need to do is keep our faith in God, trust in His word, and be confident in who we are in the Lord. He will never leave us or forsake us. I dare you to try Him. After all, you’ve tried everything else—why not try God?
