Have you ever had a song lyric grab a hold of you so hard you almost drove off the road trying to turn it up?
Or is that just me?
I've heard this song before, but just the other day these words hit home HARD, and I think they might do the same for some of you.
"Spirit Lead Me" by Influence Music
Read that one more time...
How many things in your life right now feel like a burden? Your finances as Christmas draws closer? What about the way your kids are acting? Are you missing someone around your supper table this year? Is a new, or chronic, dianosis lingering on your heart? Or maybe that dream, that calling for more, keeps circling back no matter how many times you push it away.
Whatever it is, here's what I hear God saying:
We just have to believe it. Believe He can use all are hurt for something beyond our wildest dreams.
For the last 12 years, December has been one of the most difficult months for me, for it was always the month I lost my mom.
And now, here I am, 12 years (and two days) later, about to release a book into the world, that tells the story of how God can use our pain for a greater purpose.
He wants to do the same for you.
Your pain and suffering have purpose. Believe it.
In this together,
Sonya
P.s. If you want to learn even more about how God weaved this INCREDIBLE story, I would be honored if you'd join my BOOK LAUNCH TEAM. The official launch starts next week and will include access to a private Facebook group with a LIVE Q&A, Weekly Prizes (gift cards and book related goodies) and so much fun!
You can join here. Most of the ways to help take less than 30 seconds!
