About Faith Forward
Out of all of the uncertainties in this season of change, one thing is for certain, everyone is or has experienced unprecedented happenings in their life! While many things and situations have taken on new meanings, there is one thing that remains the same, and it’s called faith. Born of Spirit: its fierceness, its 911 connection to God, its availability to whosoever will confess sin and believe… it’s all in there – and more. I’m excited to explore this ideal surrounding how we “Faith Forward” in a faith exchange. Faith takes on greater expressions of godly confidence and trust – and at the same time has proven that a little faith is just as effective as great faith (God holds the scales).
What are we exchanging then? Glad you asked. Faith over fear – Joy over depression/sadness – Peace over destruction – Self-love over negative self-talk, motivation for better tomorrows.

Beauty From Ashes “IS” Faith Forward

We want to stay on-track producing the fruit of the spirit, especially during rough times. “Beauty From Ashes” is a Women’s celebration, to uplift and empower women over 40, in living out their faith.

Faith Forward is a Game Changer!
I dedicate this book to all of the women who, for whatever reason, feel a sense of loss in their lives. I want you to know that you are not forgotten, and a touch from God awaits your embrace. You need not be sad or angry or have fear about where you are today; your peaceful place is not far from you. Understand that your enemy, the devil, does not really want your health, your loved ones, your money, your job, your relationships, your house, or your car…nor anything else that is near and dear to you. He wants to steal your identity, your well-being, and render you void of faith.
When you don’t know who you are or whose you are, there can be no peace. Faith is the only element that activates the God (His protection, peace, provision, purpose, and pathway) you need. Accepting Jesus Christ as the Son of God is the beginning of the ultimate relationship of your life, with full access to God the Father. My prayer is that you will use this book that reads like a novel, feels like a journal, and ends
with wellness tools. My deepest hope is that the work you do within will occur early in your life, so that you have long years to live with fulfillment and joy to pass on…
fulfillment and joy to pass on…
