Why I Wrote Blind Faith

The Heart Behind the Book

I have been writing for as long as I can remember.

As a little girl, I kept a diary—not because I dreamed of being an author, but because writing was my safe place. When I was anxious, I wrote. When I was sad, overwhelmed, excited, or confused, I wrote. Writing became my release, my refuge, and my way of processing the world around me. That habit never left me.

As an adult, writing became prayer. I filled journals with conversations between me and God—my fears, my questions, my hopes, my gratitude. I wrote out my prayers, my visions, and the quiet thoughts I didn’t always know how to say out loud. Journaling became a sacred space where God met me consistently, gently, and faithfully.

Blind Faith was born from those pages.

Obedience Before Authorship

This book was not written for applause. It was written in obedience.

Over a decade ago, God placed the idea of Blind Faith in my spirit. Long before the title, the chapters, or the launch date—there was simply a nudge: One day, you will share this. At the time, I didn’t understand how, when, or why. I only knew that my story—marked by pain, growth, restoration, and God’s unwavering presence—was not meant to stay private forever.

Through every season of my life, God showed forth His glory. In moments of fear, He was my peace. In moments of loss, He was my anchor. In moments where I couldn’t see the outcome, He asked me to trust Him anyway. That is blind faith—not blind to truth but fully trusting the God who sees what we cannot.

Finishing What God Started

For years, the manuscript waited. Life happened. Healing happened. Growth happened. And then something shifted.

Watching my sister courageously write and publish her books stirred something deep within me. Her obedience reminded me of my own assignment. It wasn’t pressure—it was confirmation. God used her example to whisper, now is the time. Finish what I started in you. Blind Faith is the result of that yes.

This book is my testimony of trusting God without the full picture, of learning to walk forward even when clarity was absent, and of discovering that faith grows strongest in the unseen places.

Why This Book Exists

I wrote Blind Faith for anyone who has ever felt unsure but kept walking anyway. Trusted God while wrestling with fear. Wondered if their past disqualified them, or needed proof that God still works through broken places

This book exists to remind you that God wastes nothing. Not pain. Not waiting. Not detours. And certainly not your story.

Launch Day

📖 Blind Faith officially launched February 10th—a date that marks not just the release of a book, but the fulfillment of a promise God planted in my spirit years ago.

This was more than a book launch.... It was the release of my testimony.
