When All Hell Breaks Loose...
All hell broke loose the moment I said yes to God. From totaled cars to personal heartbreak, I began to see the pattern: spiritual warfare is real—and targeted. This devotional is a rally cry for every woman who’s trying to stand firm when the enemy pushes back. Suit up. Stand your ground. God will do the fighting.

The Day I Lost My Son (And Also My Sanity)
His phone’s GPS showed he was somewhere he shouldn't be. My stomach dropped. I called—no answer. I texted—nothing. In seconds, panic set in. Was he safe? Was he even close by? My mind raced with worst-case scenarios as I tried to hold it together, praying, pleading, desperate to find him. It was only minutes… but it felt like forever.
