December 23, 2009, was the beginning. I began on a journey that would change my life forever. I was faced with a debilitating illness that no doctor could find the cause for. In the early stages of my illness, God led me to read the book of Job.

HE told me that I was going through my own Job experience. HE then led me to write down all of my experiences which evolved into this book. I didn’t know it then, but my illness would catapult me into realizing God’s purpose for my life.

It is my hope that my experience can inspire someone else to continue trusting God no matter what obstacles they may face. My illness is just one part of this book. I have experienced so many ups and downs, and my relationship with God has increased dramatically since this all began.

I have learned to lean and depend on God even more, and I know that HE is always with me no matter how long it takes to come out of my storm. This Job Experience is my test to make sure I am ready and prepared to carry out the call of God on my life.
