A strange thing started happening to me a few months back. I found myself waking up around 5:00 a.m. or so several mornings with a strong need to study the Bible on a particular subject or maybe a special scripture. I found myself pouring out my heart into written devotionals. I write about depression, anger, love, trust, finding new siblings, and always trusting in God for the strength and guidance through each new journey. The more I allowed the Holy Spirit to guide me, the more at peace my life became, and the more I wanted to share my experiences with others.

I set out to write a year's worth of weekly devotionals. Walking with God contains the first twenty-six of those fifty-two devotionals. The life lessons that I write about are some that I am sure a lot of us face. My hope is that this book, which is filled with God's words and His love, will give someone a little more hope, a little more strength, and a little more peace to keep fighting the fight and staying on the winning team. God's team.

Romans 8:37-39 says, "But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
