12 Letters Honoring the Divine

Divine Purpose Discovered

 

Chapter 30

Cornerstone of Fulfillment

Our purpose is found here:

To truly align with God’s purpose for your life, you must fully surrender it all. 

Once fully surrendered, your purpose will begin to reveal itself, and then you can faithfully pursue that purpose while humbly serving God.

Currently, I’m not yet fulfilled in all areas of my life, but I remain thankful for all he’s done and hopeful for all the blessings to come.

Recently, a blessing I’ve received is peace of mind. Each day God leads me toward a life of stillness, which allows me to pursue our purpose as believers. 

There will come a day when everlasting peace resides in your soul, and it will overflow your heart with so much joy. 

In these moments, your purpose will become so clear that “the still small voice inside” will assure you of God’s presence. 

This letter is dedicated to people in search of purpose in life. 

Surrender to his will, and your purpose will reveal. 

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desire.” (Psalms 37:4)

For it stands in scripture, “I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem, chosen for great honor, and anyone who trusts him will never be disgraced.” ( 1 Peter 2:6)

Chapter 31

Fortified Faith

Faithfully pursue purpose:

Honoring my family while writing to inspire, has allowed me to pursue a vision greater than myself.  

Today is November 21, 2025, and it marks the fourth anniversary of my Sister’s passing. She was blessed with 40 years of life, and I miss her dearly.

To honor her memory, I felt led to do a one-day fast. I continue to be amazed at how honoring my family helped me find my greater purpose in life. 

Take this morning, for example.

I was worried that without caffeine or food, I’d be tired and sluggish. That’s what you’d expect, right?

It’s been the exact opposite. It’s nearly 5 pm and I’m calm yet energized.

I’ve never realized the power of fasting until today. 

Scrolling was replaced with reading. Eating was replaced with prayer. Worrying was replaced with clarity. 

And because I made this one small sacrifice to honor my Sister, I have more clarity from God on pursuing my purpose more consistently. 

Writing to inspire while sharing how God has transformed my life continues to shape my journey.

I’m simply amazed. What amazes me most is how simple sacrifices lead to such profound peace. 

This letter is dedicated to anyone searching for peace in times of trouble. Remember to pause and find rest in God’s presence. 

A Place To Find Rest:

This letter is dedicated to my Sister and her childhood friends:

Melanie and Crystal

The book signing event was amazing. 

Mom and I enjoyed ourselves and I’m thankful to call you both friends. 

Melanie your words of encouragement have given me such peace today, thank you for being an inspiration. 
Crystal you’re an amazing host and your sincerity and cheerful spirit made my heart smile a few times today. 

“Bring the best of the first fruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God” (Exodus 23:19)


Chapter 32

Anchor the Heart

Wisdom applied is hope restored:

Once the veil is lifted, anchor your heart in God’s word, and your hope will be restored. 

Wisdom will only be found in the living word and we must humbly seek. 

Everyday I read the Bible I am humbled at how much I continue to learn. 

This past Sunday I learned another valuable lesson about pride. While I thought I knew the verse, I was wrong. 

“Pride comes before destruction, and haughty eyes before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18)

This was a subtle reminder for me to set my pride aside and humbly seek to understand the Bible more. 

Our hope can be restored once we humbly seek wisdom through reading the living word of God. 

Without him we stumble often and always fall short. 

With Him hope is restored. 

“This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary.” (Hebrews 6:19)


Chapter 33

Silence the Mind

Awaken the soul:

“The Spiritual Side of Putting”

 

At eleven years old, my two childhood friends invited me to play golf  for the first time. 

At the entrance to the course, the sign clearly stated, you must be twelve years old to play.

From day one, I never felt like I belonged.

Three decades later, I now understand why.

My love of golf started with a little white lie.

Chasing a little white ball.

It all makes sense now.

 

The foundation of our relationship with Christ must be centered on trust.

 

My journey into the game of golf started like most.

An invite from friends, a quick lesson on the swing, and a borrowed set of clubs. 

My Uncle Red gave me my first set of clubs and taught me the basics of the swing. 

I instantly fell in love with the game. 

I still remember standing in Uncle Red’s front yard as he showed me the grip, stance, and posture.

My Dad quietly stood nearby and watched me swing my little heart out as I tried to impress them both. 

I proudly took that ole leather bag of rusted clubs with tattered grips and stood on the first tee ready to battle. 

A few days before my first round Dad and I stripped off the worn down grips and replaced them with black electrical tape.

We scraped off the rusty irons and spray painted the heads with silver spray paint. 

They weren’t fancy but they were mine, and I was thankful. 

These irons helped me create amazing childhood memories, forge lifelong friendships, while searching for hope with every swing. 

 

“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you.” (Isiah 26:3)


Chapter 34

Simply Balanced

Back to the basics:

“Fly fishing at Buckberry”

In the summer of 2015 my boss and mentor Buddy gifted me a brand new fly fishing rod and reel. 

He called me into the boardroom and gave me this gift of appreciation. He also enrolled me in a local fly fishing course. 

A few days later alongside a few guests, I attended the Tennessee Fly-Fishing School sponsored by Orvis. Dave, our instructor was a local guide and experienced fisherman.

In class I learned the basics of knot tying, how to read the water, and the progressive fly casting method. 

I caught a handful of rainbow trout that day at a small private stream somewhere off the bypass.

I still remember the calmness I felt that day as we waded up stream casting and relaxing. 

A memory I’ll never forget.

Thank you Buddy and Jeannie for all the amazing memories at Buckberry Lodge. 


Then he said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19)


Chapter 35

Trust and Believe

In Christ Alone:

This thank you letter is for Joe and Kathleen.

Thank you for your hospitality and kindness after the passing of my Dad and Sister. 

I never stopped believing like your gift says. I appreciate and respect you both more than you know. 

“Jesus asked, do you finally believe?” (John 16:31)


Chapter 36

Breathe of Gratitude

Everyday blessings all around:

Tonight is November 19, 2025 and I’ve never been more grateful for all the blessings God has given me and continues to give me each day.

There’s no way we should ever take a day for granted on this earth.  God spoke life into us and gave us breath.

Once your fully surrendered God will show up in conversation, at every Bible study, and all throughout your day.

God is amazing.

I’d ask you to pause, take a breathe, and give him thanks. 

This joy, is unspeakable!

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” (James 1:17)


Chapter 37

Freedom to Pursue

Divine direction leads the way:

This road is straight and narrow is the gate. 

Jason Alan Moser

“But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever found it.” (Matthew 7:14)


Chapter 38

Foundation of Peace

Surrender it all:

For nearly two decades, I searched for peace in all the wrong places.

From the East Coast to the West, I ran from God’s calling on my life for longer than I care to admit. 

At the intersection of rock bottom and sheer desperation God humbled me a thousand times over and I finally acknowledged I can’t do this alone.

Honesty was the beginning of finding peace everlasting. 

Now dedicated and focused on my daily relationship with Jesus, I’m trusting him with every step I take.

“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.” (Isiah 9:2)


Chapter 39

Divine Fulfillment

Keep in the Faith:

“Angels walk among us”

“Welcome to a story of devotion and redemption. Because of her faithfulness in a time of national faithlessness God rewards her.”


Chapter 40

Never-Ending Pursuit

From suffering to Glory:

“Your trial has expired”

 

In my final chapter, I’ll give thanks for the lessons I’ve learned through trials and loss. 

Finding acceptance in my heart was the key

A courageous soul now resides

A renewed man I stand

With purpose in hand

Decades to uncover, a lifetime to fulfill.
