About this ebook
This book is a complilation of the 'nuggets' of spiritual food that I have been empowered by over the years and was encouraged to write them all down for others to be empowered by. The true purpose of these writings are to clear a path to walk with steady foot steps and an inner calm that cannot be shaken no matter what life throws at us.

I am a 52-year-old domestic engineer, raising a special needs child along with my husband of 22 years. I am from a small-town farming community in Indiana but have lived in North Carolina for the last 33 years. I love to cook and bake for friends and family. I enjoy movies and a good book, of course. I have a passion that God's Word becomes a true reality in the lives of those who have believed in Jesus. There are other works in progress and hope to publish them very soon!

Dedication
It’s been said that over a lifetime one will have acquaintances, friends, close friends, confidants, and then there are those, although very few, to make it to the inner most circle of closeness and trust.
I have been blessed in my years to share my life and all its experiences with people fitting into each category mentioned above.
This book’s dedication will go to the one to whom I refer to as ‘Princess.’ She knows who she is and because of our mutual passion for words as well as mystery – I will not tell you her name.
A special gift to her when after all our years of growing in our relationship from being acquainted to being in each other’s inner most circle of trust – not to mention it is the only gift I could give her to show my deepest appreciation of her passion toward God and her relationship with Him that would keep on giving back to her for years to come.
It is my hope that the writings within the pages to follow will infuse her with strength and inspiration as she has done for me over the last seventeen years.
Thank you ‘Princess’ for your friendship and your passion for all things from our Heavenly Father.
Love you.

Hey, I wanna tell ya something!
(Otherwise known as the introduction.)
God is good. I am at a local library a few miles away from home where my son is being cared for by a loving, devoted woman of God. And, because He has provided this time for me, I am free to type all the words, with belief in His direction that those words will be the right words and in His order and, of course, for His purposes.
This book is the result of a God-inspired conversation I had while on assignment for Hi when I was running an errand; or so I thought. During the course of my adventures that day, I ran into a very good friend and began to share with her what I like to call, spiritual divine nuggets
that God had given me. As I did, she started to cry; she was lifted up by the words that He had given me to impart. It was so awesome to watch as He unfolded His truths in her life.
He had given me a powerful, practical insight which she could apply to her situation and brought freedom and release from a heavy burden; she literally lit up. It was fantastic to watch! She literally lightened up as I watched Him reveal His word to her. I am grateful that God gave that spiritual divine nugget
to me and allowed me to witness what happens when THE TRANSFORMER is brought to His appointment. {I sometimes refer to myself as Jesus’ limo driver.)
My friend took notes as we talked. In the midst of her note-taking, she said that I should put the nuggets
that God had given me in a book. Right then, it occurred to me that she was spot on;
