Inspired by my own experiences as a first responder, coupled with my own trauma, I wrote this book in the hopes of reaching people where they are in their healing process. My goal is to empower people to acknowledge their pain and to understand that ultimately, there is a godly purpose to their suffering. The Bible teaches us in the book of Romans, Chapter 8:28, "All things work together for good to them that love the Lord, and who are called according to His purpose." I've come to recognize that much of the pain I've endured and the trauma I've witnessed, have ultimately catapulted me towards my destiny and purpose. Also, along the way, I noticed that everyone can identify with loss. With pain comes scars. Our scars become our healing and our healing eventually fuels our purpose. Your purpose is your testimony, which is proof positive that God is able to deliver every one of us from pain and allow it to intersect with our purpose.
