Excellent read! Rashawn does a great job of laying this book out. Meet God now, right here, right now. God doesn't need you to find him; he's found you already and has never not been right there with you. This is a simple breakdown of a deeply troubled issue for many. I appreciated Rashawn's transparency and honesty; sharing his own story and how he himself has traveled with God meeting Him and going just from the place you are. Rashawn's journey is a common one but opening up is not; we all have our struggles, problems, and issues and some might just seem more difficult but no matter what God is HERE. I received an advanced copy of this ebook from Netgalley and the publisher and these are my own opinions. A simple message, needed by many. There isn't a BIG giant discovery that we need to come upon; we just need to accept God and start our own journey today.
Start Where You Are
A great reminder/re-inforcer to start! Start where we are, start with what we have.
“Taking the Next Step Pause and Ponder Whatever shame is keeping you from a fresh start with God, whatever old baggage is dragging you down, whatever broken pieces are in your heart, start right there. Yes! Start right there—with God this time. Press into Prayer Be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. (Eph. 5:1–2 ESV) Lord, I thank You for sharing Your unfailing hope and for a fresh start where yesterday’s worries aren’t being carried into today. I pray that You continue to order my steps and guide my mind. May I surround myself with Your truth. Your Word. Your wisdom. Your love. Your peace. Prove to Be a Practical Pioneer Jesus laid down His life on the cross for us without hesitation. No plan B. No second thoughts. Just as Christ sacrificed Himself for us, we should Reach Out and sacrifice ourselves for others. How can you lay your life down today? Start. Start now. Start where you are. Start with what you have.” This is why I became interested in being on Rashawn’s launch team. He spoke the words we all need to hear. It’s not about the past. It’s about our future. And there is no better time to start your relationship with God, than right now, in the middle of your mess.
The chapters is this book are laid out with Rashawn sharing his story (which many can relate too), then ends with thoughts to pause on, then a prayer, and ends with giving you something to move forward.
