Hey Gems!!!

Yesterday I received an EXCITING email from an author I enjoy. I got a chance to peek at the beautiful cover of Mesu Andrew's 2020 release of Isaiah's Legacy. It's the third book in her Prophets and Kings series, but the sequel to Isaiah's Daughter.
This cover has the same feel as Isaiah's Daughter, just with a "darker" vibe. I'm loving the pop of blue and darkness to the cover. It gives such a richness to the white dress and the blue font.

Now let's get on to the cover reveal and the synopsis!

Blessed Afternoon Gems!!!

I honestly don't even know where to begin with this post. I'm a bit emotional as I sit down to even type up this post. I feel like crying tears of joy because God has blessed me, graced me, purposed me and equipped me for this ministry.
On this day two years ago, I stepped out on faith with obedience to God and launched this ministry. It started with the Instagram account, then the blog, YouTube channel Facebook page, Facebook group and then the Twitter account.

With fear and doubt lurking in my mind, I stepped out on the water like Peter and began this journey and it has been an unbelievable life-changing journey. By following through the vision God gave me, I watered it daily. I found that even DOI has helped many it has helped me grow immensely and prepared me to walk in to the call.

As I sit and reflect on these two years and all that it has brought me, I can only say thank You to God for His trust in me. He has brought me out of the pit and is u…
