DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to our Pastors Randy and Susie Brummitt who have shown us, by example, what a Faithwalker really is. By teaching us, daily, how to thrive in the desert of our thoughts, no matter what comes our way.
And to all those who are trying to find their way through life’s disappointments, detours and insurmountable odds.
May the words in this book truly bless and empower you with even more faith and strength to continue on the right path of finding the true you; in spite of whatever circumstances may come your way.
AND THE LORD SHALL guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
—-Isaiah 58:11
ACKNOWLEGMENTS
This book would not have been possible without the glory of God illuminating my mind. Reminding me of His many precious promises as this book was being written.
I would also like to thank my husband, Bobby, who encourages me everyday by his determination through his ongoing battle. And always reminds me of God’s goodness no matter what.
And finally, thanks to our daughter, Tanisha. For being my cheerleader in some of our darkest moments. Whose voice echoes God will not let you fall.

INTRODUCTION
How Did I Get Here?
2017 WAS GARNERED THE most challenging year of my life. At the beginning of the year, my husband was diagnosed with being in the early stages of Alzheimer’s and then two other health threats after that. Shortly after his diagnosis he was fired from his job with only 2 months of unemployment. Then just as it looked like our family was starting to unify—-it all fell apart. The lines of communication were fragile enough—-now it looked like even the fiber optics were broken. For one whole year I applied, diligently, for better employment opportunities but it seemed like I was stuck on a job where Pharaoh was my suspect employer -—The workload doubled, but my straw was starting to diminish.
I walked away from the church—-not God, because I had become anguished by the repetitive formalism of church that had become nothing more than a religious production. I wanted a deeper walk with God, not just skimming the surface to massage my guilty conscious or find a prophetic word to make me feel better—-without any change—-or walking in religious pulchritude. "Knowing the word, religious, but not having a gift of discernment or power and authority over the prince of the air." (Mark 2:8 KJV)
The only change I recognized was I needed a change! Somewhere deep inside my spirit I always believed there was nothing religious about the Word of God or its applications. And knowing the miraculous works of Jesus Christ, then we ourselves, if we truly believed, applied the word, prayed and obeyed instruction—-would be able to do not only as he did, but greater works as he said we could. (John 14:12 KJV)
After all, I witnessed a stroke victim fully restored who doctors said would never have function of her right side again. Our eldest son delivered from two heart attacks—-on the second one flat-lined and was brought back to life. Our baby boy, at seven-years old, was hit by a moving truck and his life was spared with his head only inches away from the front truck tire. Our youngest daughter in her early childhood years, stayed in and out of the hospital emergency room with a diagnosis of chest wall pain that caused me to wear a beeper—-staying on red alert. Yet one day she finally came out of it. My mother flat lined during what should have been a minor surgery and was brought back. I was diagnosed with a form of leukemia, the doctors never told me until years later, they’d only given me three months after my final round of chemotherapy and only thirty days before the treatment, but ten years later I am still standing by the grace of God.
With each one of these miraculous occurrences it was not some fantasy, something I dreamt, or read in a book—-these miracles came to pass by, prayer and obedience to a word from God.
In hindsight, I would say when all these miracles occurred; my husband and I were prayer warriors in the strongest sense of the word. However, this past year our prayer lives became lost somewhere between where is God in all of this and did He really promise us those things we thought we heard Him say?
Many of us have asked this question on numerous occasions—-If God is truly God, then where is He in all of this? How can God let this happen?
Perhaps God is still here but I mislaid my faith -—Maybe I moved further away from him when my circumstances should have drawn me closer. Or is it possible that right now, He is carrying me through this situation, as His voice whispers to my noisome thoughts of hopelessness on the very edge of insanity?
It is right here, in this desert of your thoughts, that you must reconcile the difference between what you believe and what you see. What you believe has to become a knowing. You must be still and know that He is God. (Psalm 46:10 KJV) What you see could be a mirage of fear or the sands of despair blowing you away from the right perspective.
You need the eyes of faith to bridge the gap between your belief system and your present circumstances. How do you acquire this faith? Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17 KJV) We have to practice what is preached—-and not just be hearers of the word alone. You must allow the scriptures to permeate your heart. It is not enough to just hear the word of truth. Because until you are a doer of the word God does not consider you trustworthy-—nor will you be genuinely blessed. (James 1:23-25 KJV)
As we wander through these sand storms of trials, perhaps you will find how you got there and why. It is this writer’s prayer that your survival tactics be fortified by the approaching examples of those who, by faith, came out victoriously on the other side by the hand of God into an oasis of
