In writing The Makings of Mimi, the question often came up: do I have to tell this God? His answer was always yes. I had to rehearse in my head that He promised to take my scars and turn them into stars that would lead people to salvation, healing, and deliverance. That He would make the captives free and give you dunamis power in Christ Jesus. That sharing my pain and my deliverance would bring assurance that He is the way out of any situation or circumstance. That if He did it for me, He will certainly do it for you. Receiving Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior was and is the very most essential factor of my survival. I pray that my decision to trust God with everything in me, all that I am, and everything I'm not will bring deliverance and healing to the reader. For His glory. Amen.
