Let’s face it, we all want to be loved and accepted. My journey has culminated in me answering the call to help others to heal in order to succeed in their lives.

Some of us talk about manifesting destiny, but without transformation there can be no manifestation.

That is to say, without submitting to God’s process, what we manifest may not be God’s intended purpose for our lives. One, you were created for specific purposes; two, God intentionally ordered them before you were even “a zygote in your mother’s womb.” Each season in your life has a specific purpose, commensurately every season in your life has a God purpose.

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the LORD. ‘They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope'” (Jeremiah 29:11, NLT).

Imagine if hurting people manifested the chaos within them without first being transformed! It’s a scary thought, but unfortunately it happens every day and always to someone’s detriment. As you just read, God never intended for such disasters.

For the most part, however, people who’ve been wounded survive, yet in lingering, latent pain, choosing various cultural methods of escape from their suffering. For me, I folded in on myself—self-rejected—which led to self-abuse and volatile romantic relationships. When the abuse became life threatening God rescued me through a miraculous series of events. The story unfolds in my first book, Making Heaven My Home, culminating in the victory of redemption. Flourishing comes with giving God the chance to heal you for greatness—to live out your intended purpose in life.

“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you” (Romans 12:1-2, MSG).

I promise you that “God is more concerned about you than what he can do through you.” I’ve written my second book: Living Affirmed: How to Walk Confidently in Your Divine Purpose (LA) to equip and empower you to allow God to transform you before you attempt to manifest your destiny your way.

In order to discover and fulfill your godly purpose you must first be transformed.

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world,” please allow God to “transform you into a new person by changing the way you think” [Ro 12:2, NLT]).

Holy Spirit will help you with this. From your transformed state you can then manifest your God intended purposes. Anything else would be to create a counterfeit platform for destiny.

God is omniscient, talk to him and allow him to lead you to your destiny—He knows what it is. LA includes journal prompts and powerful activation prayers to empower you to succeed.

God is omnipresent, everywhere and always with you—there’s no escaping his love.

God is omnipotent, there is nothing too hard for him—give him the wheel.

I had to go through some grueling, yet fruitful, experiences in my life to get to the place that I have. As life continues, I go deeper still. This cultivation process inspired me to answer the call to write the two candid and powerful Spirit-guided books, Making Heaven My Home© 2022 and Living Affirmed: How to Walk Confidently in Your Divine Purpose© 2025. It is my purpose manifested after my transformation.

Before I got here, the painful moments of my past had left me with warped beliefs about my future, including doubts that I could be of help to anyone. But through God’s love, grace, and merciful counsel my thinking has changed and my wounds have been healed. I am here now, delivered and transformed, to help you with your impending transformation!

“But because God was so gracious, so very generous, here I am. And I’m not about to let his grace go to waste” (1 Corinthians 15:10).

Now walking confidently in my divine purpose, I can say that I’ve been changed from the inside out, to manifest God’s destiny for my life. Sharing my insights for healing satisfies my sense of belonging while fulfilling my desire to help people.

My call to purpose: I once rented a beautiful, downtown loft in Colorado. It was for a few transformative years following my divorce. One eventful evening, I reclined on my private, rooftop patio. I lay there in my anti-gravity chair, dressed in my pjs. I was delighted to take in the stunning display of bright stars against the blue-black, velvet sky.

Suddenly, I heard these intense words, “People’s belief systems are determined by writers, that’s why I need godly writers!” Not only was I gobsmacked, but I was God-smacked! My eyes misted with conviction as I cried, “Yes!” From my gut I cried “YES,” finally surrendering to what I’d been avoiding. I realized that purpose is not an option; it’s a command, it speaks to who you are and what you were created to do. Purpose is to serve humanity; ergo, it must be founded in agape love. Duly mobilized, it then took me three years of preparation.

“Staying with it—that’s what is required. Stay with it to the end. You won’t be sorry; you’ll be saved.” Luke 21:19, MSG

Patience with vision is imperative for the God ordered manifestation of purpose.
