The wise men desired to worship Jesus, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him [Matthew 2:2 KJV]. That is exemplary worship. King Solomon, loved the LORD [1 Kings 3:3 KJV] and that is exemplary worship. One night the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee [1 Kings 3:5 KJV]. Worshipping God goes beyond singing, praising, and speaking well of the Father. Our lifestyle is worshipping when we are pleasing God while evolving and matriculating here on earth. King Solomon attended the higher echelon of every university called the Supernatural University of the LORD. Solomon attended one class, in his night dream with the LORD, And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the seashore. And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about [1 Kings 4:29-31 KJV]. The LORD established Solomon with sacred wisdom. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you [John 14:26 KJV]. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him [1 John 2:27 KJV]. Therefore, in the beginning of Solomon's reign his lifestyle worshipped the LORD. With simplicity, this book encourages worship and the understanding of the value and power of worship. The activation of worship begins when we acknowledge our faith with the confession of belief; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed [Romans 10:9-11 KJV]. To know God is to worship him, and to worship God is to love, respect, and please him. Worship is powerful because even the devil tried to persuade Jesus to worship, saying, If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine [Luke 4:7 KJV]. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve [Luke 4:8 KJV]. When our mind is on God, and God is on our mind we worship him. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths [Proverbs 3:6 KJV].

Shortly after a head injury leaves her struggling with debilitating nightmares, defiant 17-year-old Amanda Abernathy moves to the Yellow Bird, a rundown bookstore and farm she inherits from her overbearing grandmother. Cody Stone, after a brief stint in the army, returns stateside with acute combat stress. Broken and lost, he wanders from the foothills of his mountain home to the hollows along the Chalahume River. Inexplicably, Amanda and Cody's disparate paths begin to mystically intertwine as they struggle to find their place among the eccentric people of Appalachia's South Mountain, where music, friendship, and hardship bind them to century-old traditions. With the increasing neglect and gross mismanagement of the coal mines upriver, Amanda, Cody, and the people they come to love, find themselves on the brink of a disaster beyond anything they could ever imagine. "Yellow Bird" examines the thin and fragile line drawn between what excites our faith and breaks our hearts. It is a gentle healing hand, a familiar song from bygone days, a memory just beyond our reach. It is the story of faith on trial, an invitation to grapple, as the characters do, with what can never be explained." Johnson's debut is, at its core, a pastoral tale, a celebration of the rustic music and rich traditions of the hills and hollows of Virginia and West Virginia and their ability to offer relief and purpose in a harsh, lonesome world. . . a charming story about a bygone time where even magic seems possible."- Kirkus Reviews

Growing up amid dysfunction, addiction, and mental illness is difficult enough. When you factor in the world's stereotypes and man-made boxes based on gender, race, age, culture, and the like, then suddenly life becomes even more difficult to navigate through. The world will dictate to you your importance and what you are capable of doing based on the world's stereotypes of people. Just trying to be who you are and following your dreams can sometimes be a burdensome task. Jesus tells us in His Word "that in this life you will have difficulties." Then He encourages us by saying, "But take heart, I have overcome the world," "The battle is not yours, it's the Lord's." God makes all His children with a plan and purpose for their life. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we begin the process of discovering what our ultimate spiritual destiny will be. Finding God's plan and purpose for your life and your ultimate spiritual destiny will require faith, trust, and belief in God and in His Word. When we come to the realization that we are saved only by God's grace, then we realize that the only one we need approval from in this life is God! Hopefully, Only by My Grace will help others focus on what God's plan for their life is and what God's expectation is for their life.
