Book excerpt: What happens when you build your house on sand? In time, it will fall when the storms of life come crashing against it. My storm began when I heard the words, "I want a divorce." After those words were spoken, even more storms came crashing my way that brought betrayal and trauma with them. Watching the marriage and family I had built fall apart was a storm I was unprepared for. Does God allow storms to come into our lives? The answer is yes because the storm has a purpose, and there is always something new to be built after the storm. My journey of inner healing and deliverance began the moment the foundation of my marriage was destroyed. Although all I saw was ashes and rubble around me, God was calling me into a journey of building beauty out of the ashes of my pain. My journey of emotional healing from divorce, emotional trauma, and betrayal have been about finding my true identity as a daughter of God. In the chapters of this book, I share my experience of rebuilding after my divorce and the purpose behind the pain. God's love for family and marriage has brought me on a journey of healing, restoration, and forgiveness. He has called me to stand for my family and to believe and trust in Him to repair everything that was destroyed. Whatever journey you find yourself on, it is time to rebuild God's way.
