His Instrument – Uncovering the Power of Connection and Fulfilling Your Purpose
What if your life—every hardship, joy, setback, and victory—was all part of a divine symphony? What if you were never meant to bear your purpose alone, but to be a living instrument, finely tuned through connection, challenge, and calling?
In His Instrument: Uncovering the Power of Connection and Fulfilling Your Purpose, author, leader, and former Army officer shares an intimate and inspiring journey of personal transformation, leadership, and spiritual awakening. This is not just a memoir—it is a roadmap for anyone yearning to live with intention, embrace their unique path, and lead with heart.
From the very beginning, the Introduction invites you to pause and reflect on your own whisper—a subtle, persistent call to something greater. It sets the tone for the rest of the book, where vulnerability meets strength, and pain is not hidden but honored as part of the process of becoming.
Chapter 1: The Whisper of the Seed opens with a quiet call—a moment of awareness that stirs the soul. This gentle awakening becomes a recurring theme: life’s purpose doesn’t shout; it whispers. But if you dare to listen, that whisper becomes a wind that can move you toward your destiny.
In Chapter 2: Falling Forward, failure is no longer something to fear. Through raw storytelling, we see how every fall contains the seeds of growth. This chapter offers permission to stumble—and a challenge to rise differently each time.
Chapter 3: Blooming in the Desert reveals how purpose can thrive even in life’s harshest seasons. Adversity doesn’t cancel destiny; it clarifies it. The author shares deeply personal moments of heartbreak, challenge, and perseverance that helped shape her identity and ignite her calling.
By Chapter 4: A Leader Is Born, we shift from the internal to the external—how influence is rooted in authentic connection. Here, leadership is not defined by rank or title, but by presence, humility, and the ability to truly see and serve others.
Chapter 5: Prepare in the Waiting dives into the in-between spaces—those seasons of uncertainty and delay. Rather than rushing through them, we’re invited to find the sacredness of preparation and the unseen growth that happens in silence.
In Chapter 6: Forged by Fire, leadership meets transformation. The fire of trials refines character, not destroys it. Here, the author explores how challenges, shaped a leadership philosophy grounded in compassion, courage, and accountability.
Chapter 7: Chasing Excellence calls readers to rise above mediocrity—not for applause, but as an act of worship. This chapter is an invitation to show up fully, honor your gifts, and push through limitations without losing your soul in the process.
By Chapter 8: Leading with the Heart, the story moves into team building, trust, and creating spaces where people can thrive. Drawing from years of experience in behavioral health and team leadership, this chapter offers a blueprint for cultivating environments rooted in empathy, collaboration, and shared purpose.
Chapter 9: Finding Your Rhythm celebrates the dance of life—even when the beat feels off. Whether in joy or chaos, the author illustrates how rhythm can still be found, and how movement—both physical and spiritual—can help us reconnect with ourselves and others.
Chapter 10: The Power of Presence teaches that leadership isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room, but the most present. With wisdom gleaned from work in both clinical settings and community spaces, this chapter is a reminder that showing up—fully and consistently—can change lives.
Chapter 11: Juggling It All is a love letter to every person trying to balance career, family, and faith. Through honest storytelling, the author addresses the messy, beautiful tension of being a mother, a professional, a leader—and how grace fills the gaps when we can’t do it all.
In Chapter 12: The True Source of Power, the spotlight turns away from human striving and toward divine connection. Fulfillment is not found in hustle, but in surrender. This chapter powerfully testifies to the peace and strength that come from staying plugged into God.
Finally, Chapter 13: Resonating with Purpose is the crescendo—a stirring call to live as the instrument you were always meant to be. It is a charge to embrace the totality of your journey, trusting that every note—every high and low—has shaped a sound uniquely yours.
His Instrument is more than a book—it’s a spiritual and emotional experience. It reminds us that we are not accidents, and our paths are not random. Every connection, every storm, every victory plays a role in composing a life of meaning.
This is a book for the leader, the dreamer, the mother, the warrior, the caregiver—for anyone who has ever questioned their worth or wondered if they’re truly walking in purpose. With lyrical prose and practical wisdom, the author offers not only her story but also a mirror for yours.
If you’ve ever felt the quiet tug of something more, if you’ve faced fire and found yourself still standing, if you’re ready to step fully into the life you were created for—this book is your companion and your confirmation.
It’s time to resonate. It’s time to become His Instrument.
