A Journey of Trust

Book Cover & Preview Text
God remains faithful even when we are faithless. We have times when our faith is shaky and we struggle with trusting God. It may seem that we are faithful by going to church every Sunday, most Wednesday nights, participating or leading Bible studies, you know being the “church lady.” Though we have been saved and acknowledge that we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior, have we really been at the table with Him? Do we get excited every time we open the Bible, His Word and read what His message for us? Is there a warm flush that comes across you each time you receive His message? Do I trust what Jesus can do for me more than what I can do for myself? Everyone has trials along their faith journey. It is the choice we make to trust, a choice to grow in faith and be faithful.
When we are in a time of being still and waiting, it is a struggle for many of us. Our first instinct is to resolve the situation ourselves, sort through the event and come up with our own answer. We react to the situation. When that doesn't go so well we connect ourselves to God. Our first instinct should be to connect with God first and only Him in every situation.

About the Book
It is entertaining to me when people ask, “What are you going to do?” and I respond, “Trust in God.”
“But what are you going to do?”
“Let God lead my life.”
My professional life has placed me in leadership positions with organizations that are going through change. I have experienced the breaking of trust in this world. This is a book for women who are in leadership positions within their organization. It is intended to help them understand the meaning of trust and to equip them to know the only One that can be truly trusted in their life.
We are women of integrity and vision, and our trust is tested. There are times we are at the losing end of trust due to hidden agendas. We are caught by surprise, which results in us losing trust. We are busy women who are intensely involved with our faith, our family, and our job. How many of us are so involved with life that we miss the real relationships: the relationship with Jesus Christ, the relationship for you, and the relationship that you want with your family.
My hope for the women who read this is that they will come to know how their life can be stronger when they trust the Father. I am sharing my story about how I came to understand and to trust God to lead my life.
We are all on a journey and are growing in our relationship with Jesus Christ, our Savior.
