Book Cover & Preview Text
"But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." (Matthew 7:14 NIV)
Roads give me comfort. They provide a place to go, a journey to take, and an adventure to embrace. As a little girl, roads begged for my attention—some dangerous, some full of endless possibilities. My love for adventure grew through long bike rides with my dad, winding through the streets of Waco, Texas. These roads shaped my imagination, leading me on treasure hunts and secret missions.
Even now, at forty-eight years old, an excitement leaps in my heart when I take off on a long bike ride. Looking back, I see how each road was part of a larger journey—one that God had already paved before me.
There was never a time in my life when I didn’t understand God’s presence. Every road, every experience, was a reflection of His provision. The road of life, however, is rarely as smooth as we expect. My journey took an unexpected turn when I faced a health crisis that challenged everything I thought I knew. The path I once envisioned: calm, steady, and full of beauty became a narrow, redirected road.
Welcome to my journey of healing. Each chapter shares a scripture that illuminated my path, guiding me through moments of uncertainty. I pray that God’s Word will light your way as well, even when the road takes an unexpected turn.
"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." (Psalm 119:105 NIV)
