Um, what made, what made you to decide to take that pain and turn it into a message of hope? Like, what do you pray readers will take away from the stories in here, your stories, Stella's stories? Like, what do you ho- or her story, but what do you hope that people will take away from this?

I think my heart behind it all is to recognize that each one of us is created for a purpose.

I think oftentimes we just think, "Well, what's the, what's the point of life?" Like, "Why are we here?" And when we begin to peel it back and realize that God intentionally put us here, like, there's a reason for each one of us, and, um, and that should give people hope to know, like, "Okay, I'm gonna wake up, and what do you have for me, Lord? What...

How can I walk it out?" And also to know that we are, every one of us, we're his masterpiece.

I mean, that's sort of become one of my life verses, Ephesians 2:10, and, um, that God, uh, said, "You are my masterpiece." And, and I think when we begin to understand that, we approach life differently.

Um, we be able, we're able to be proactive in how we live life instead of reactive.

And I, and I think so many of us are living reactively, and how can we change that? And so, um, I really hope that people, um, read this book and know to the core of their being that God has a purpose for them.

Mm-hmm.
