How Divine Walk Began
I have always had an imagination.
When a friend would tell me a story, I could close my eyes and feel as though I were there. I could picture the people, the setting, the emotions, and somehow become part of the story for a little while.
As I grew older, I began to realize that this way of seeing the world was more than imagination—it was also how I connected with people, stories, and, eventually, my faith.
Over the past few years, I have begun to think about how much deeper my own spiritual walk has become. Becoming a Stephen Minister gave me an even closer walk with God. It taught me to listen differently—to be present with another person without always needing to fix something or have an answer.
At the same time, I was still very much myself.
I still had a wicked sense of humor. I could laugh at myself. I loved having open conversations with my friends and family, and I enjoyed the many different pieces of life. But there was something new underneath it all—a greater sense of emotional safety, reflection, and introspection.
Then, last year, my life changed in a way I never expected.
The Stories That Stayed With Me
Growing up, these were stories that sparked my imagination. I could picture the people, the places, the choices, and the struggles as though I were there.
As a child, I experienced them as stories. As I grew older, I began to experience them differently.
Life gave me experiences that I couldn't have understood as a child—love, disappointment, loss, responsibility, uncertainty, forgiveness, waiting, change, and the unexpected turns that can reshape a life.
Some of these may be stories you remember from childhood. Others may be Scriptures you've heard mentioned many times but never stopped to explore for yourself. And perhaps some will be completely new to you.
This book offers a quiet moment to revisit a familiar story or discover a passage you may have heard about but never really explored.
Somewhere along the way, these stories became more than stories I remembered from childhood. They became companions for insightful living.
I began seeing pieces of myself in them. I began asking different questions. And sometimes a story I thought I already knew would surprise me with something completely new.
That is the lens through which I invite you to experience these fourteen first steps.
Not as lessons you have to memorize.
Not as answers you have to accept.
But as stories you can sit with, question, and bring into conversation with your own life.
Perhaps a story that once sparked your imagination will now spark something within you.
