I was raising three children, served in ministry for over ten years, completed my degree, and then—Divorce: the grenade that shattered my world and scattered emotional debris in every direction. I got cut wherever I stepped.
“Get Up!” I heard God say, “I have plans for you.”
So, I did. I fought, clawed, fell on my knees, and crawled—But I got up. God fought alongside me every step of the way. We survived. We relocated. We built a new life.
The arduous journey turned out to be fruitful. The lessons drawn from walking with God were ripe. I turned to writing—journals, devotionals, essays, and a novel that I started years ago and suddenly felt renewed interest in.
In that flood of words, ideas, and late nights sitting in front of my laptop, I was invited by my friend to join her anthology of stories written by women like myself—In the Pursuit of Fearless Living: Pivoting from Life’s Uncertainties.
I accepted that all the previous seasons lead me right into this one. I left the past in the past and stepped into my Purpose. I had one goal—to write books; one obstacle—to overcome my fears; and one solution—to trust God with all of it.
There were three stages to this: First, I had to get up! Then, I needed to walk closely with God to know where I was going. Lastly, to overcome the obstacle that fear posed, God called me to walk upright in a posture of Peace!
My Chapter in this anthology, “Check Your Posture” shares how Scripture is instrumental to walking through the healing process.
I invite you to stroll along with me— we are designed live in community!
Follow me on Instagram @ktand3 to connect. There I will be posting links to purchase In the Pursuit of Fearless Living and to my new website Flawed Queen Seeking God’s Kingdom. Both will be launched this August 2022!
Woman, have courage! Get up! Check your posture! We can walk together towards Peace…
