A heartfelt emotional rollercoaster you won't be able to put down.

I'm writing this book to encourage people and hear different testimonies on how God brought them out or how big of a blessing it is to put God first and trust him. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony: I've been through a lot of things, but God brought me through every storm, trial, test, and tribulation. My mother said that I was gifted as a little girl, and now that I'm older, I see the gifts God has given me. I hear from God, and he gives me what to say to his people; by me being obedient to his word, things come to pass.

Living with my mother and stepfather, I had everything I needed. I had dreams, but everything was pitch-black. I would wake up and see nothing. However, when I moved to my grandmother's house, I began to have dreams that I could see clearly, though I didn't understand them. I would tell others about my dreams, but they didn't understand either. As I got older, the dreams never went away. I gave my life to Christ in 1998, and before the foundation of my life, I had an assignment to carry out, which I discovered in 2003.

He is waiting at the Well for anyone who will come, just as He waited when he met the Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well many years ago here on Earth.
