Blurb of book:
"You want me to what?!" I asked God. As the minister at the front of the church talked about how God speaks to people, I could clearly hear God telling me what He had planned. He told me to listen and follow His guidance in all matters of life and then to write a book. God's Whispers: Your Anchor Through Life's Storms is the manifestation of my dialogue with God. Everyone experiences tough times in life — from the loss of loved ones to challenges with work to issues with health. With these challenges can come doubt — in ourselves, in our relationships, and in our faith with God. During trying times, we want answers. On my journey, God spoke to me, not only through His voice, but through the Bible, other books, songs, license plates, nature, and people. Although God did not always answer prayers on my timeline, I realized that life events do not happen by chance. Only after reflecting on my life, could I see how God's timing is perfect — even when it seemed He hadn’t answered my prayers at all. In the rapidly changing sea of life, the water does not remain calm for long. As you wait for God to guide you through your storms, this book will provide a valuable reminder to trust in God, to patiently wait for His voice to speak to you, and to recognize that unanswered prayers might be purposeful.
