To my husband; you are such an amazing, loving person. The love & dedication you show on a daily basis is greatly treasured.
To my children; there is no position in my life more praiseworthy than being a mother to two children as wonderful as yourselves. Hands up, reach for the sky!
To my family & loved ones; you have all inspired me in my walk with Christ, thank you & may God bless you one hundred fold.
Introduction
Rising out of Obscurity into a New Life is for everyone that is ready to live up to the challenge. The challenge sent out by God for all of us to rise out of the unknown and start the journey to an expected end. His desire is that we live a life filled with peace and most of all freedom; freedom to be all that he has called us to be in this life.
God has the power to perform miracles on our behalf and in the lives of others. Rising out of the devastation of our past and our current circumstances will give us the power to lead a new life in Christ Jesus. Not only this, but to lead others to the same outcome by the light that is in us. In doing this, we secure a legacy that cannot be bought nor tainted by anything that would threaten to stop us.
As a wife, mother, and child of God set apart by him for nearly eleven years, there has been enormous opportunity for him to show himself strong in my life. I must say, there is nothing that gives more joy and peace than living a life free in Christ.
As you read this book I pray that it sends a message to your heart. The message that it takes courage, determination, and surrendering our life to God in order for us to see positive and real change take place.

The Unknowns of Life
I don’t know one person whose vision of life has not been conflicted by being in a place where the outcome of their future was unknown. This seems to happen at as many stages in life as there are crisis and disappointments. Both know no age and bring about confusion and many times devastation. From losing someone dear to death or divorce, to a career or relationship ending abruptly, we all have encountered a crisis in some aspect of our lives. If we could think back to our golden years, whenever those may be, we may see that our vision of life has played out far differently than we would have imagined.
As we progress in age from childhood, we find that the vision of our lives has been distorted with reality. Out of touch with the vision and dreams we once had, no longer seeing life clearly through the freshness of a child’s eyes, we sometimes find ourselves beholding a blurry vision of fallen dreams that is a sight we could never have predicted to see. If you have ever found yourself dealing with unknowns
you know the feeling. The unknowns of life come into play when the celebrations are over and reality has seemingly given you a shock.
We say to ourselves, How was I to know life would be like this?
or to others I did not know my life would turn out this way.
Though life is filled with unknowns, we must begin to realize, as we turn to the only source of our being, it is God and only God that can help us find our way through the unknowns of life.
Had we known our life would be spotted with disappointments, would we have made a better effort to include him in each and every decision we made without him? He is our creator. I am sure there are many that have tried to play the part oh so well, but he is the first and he will be the last.
Many watch and wait for the success of our lives. When it does not pan out the way we have hoped, the events of our lives suddenly become less than noteworthy. There is a feeling of insignificance that comes along with the tragedy of disappointment.
If you have ever felt insignificant, you know how it feels to have a desire to rise out of obscurity. The place called obscurity is a vague place. A foggy place because there are so many directions that you could go, but only one way is suitable. God’s way.
When you have tried all that you can; when you have done all that you know to do and even asked others’ opinion and
