In 2017, God whispered a crazy idea into my ear. He said, “Jasmine, write a book.” Initially, I found it difficult to comply. The direction seemed overwhelming and opposite of any plan I held for myself. Why would God ask me to write a book and more importantly what would I write about? In retrospect, this idea was more aligned than I originally thought. Writing has always been a saving grace and a creative space to express my deepest thoughts. As obvious as the assignment should have been, I became blinded by my worry and fear.
For an entire year, I mulled over the instruction. I argued internally questioning my capability and the process. Book publishing was a foreign language. I wanted a mentor, details and a road map to feel safe. I soon realized that the access I felt I needed to begin the journey, would not appear until I made a decision to move.
All I had was myself and the instruction I was given.
I knew God well enough to know that when He asked me to do something……… He meant it. The assignment had a purpose and so eventually I let go of my concerns and began to write the book.
My very first idasangel.com blog post entitled The Power of I AM became the foundation and today I am proud to announce my first book entitled The Power of I AM: A Journey to Self is now available for pre-order everywhere books are sold! If you are an Amazon fan like me, you can pre-order on their site.
Order The Power of I AM: A Journey to Self
I’ve poured myself into every chapter and have chosen to be vulnerable in an effort to encourage you.
Initially, I began this journey to simply obey God, but over time realized I’ve written The Power of I AM: A Journey to Self to honor you.
I love you and I want you to take that personally.
I pray my book falls into your hands, leaving you inspired and ready to do the work. I also hope that you too learn how to be obedient, no matter the instruction. Let God use you.
From my heart to your hands, my greatest assignment yet is a powerful product of my obedience.
