Nigeria Lockley allows God to minister to her heart to created a wonderful motivational book "Pursuing Your passion In A Godly Fashion- Prayers For Creative Christians and Entrepreneurs" to inspires individuals that wants to write their first book or starting their own business. I truly believes that "Pursuing Your Passion In A Godly Fashion" is an important book for aspiring Christian Authors or Writers and Christian Entrepreneurs just in time for today's economy. The purpose for Nigeria Lockley of writing this book is to let the readers including myself that we need to put God first in everything that we do. When I first started to write my first book in 2012, I pray to God for guidance to help me to write my book. In late 2010 until late 2011, I had my first bout with depression after I couldn't find a job and I lost everything including my apartment. After that I wanted to end my life but God interrupted my plan to killed myself. At that time I realized that God have purpose for my life. After I got the necessary help, I decided to create my own opportunity by writing my first book. It supposed to be a cook book but then God spoken to me to write an Inspirational Motivational book. I listen to God's voice and start writing daily even when I didn't feel like it. I had haters including one of my sisters criticized me for working on my book. Instead of working on my book, they believes I should be looking for a job. They tried their best to discouraged me to write my book but I decided to ignored them and keeps on writing. When I finally published my book in December 2012, those same haters called me lazy and told me that I wasn't going to make any money. They were just mad because I make a liar of them and put my passion for publishing my book by put it into actions. In 2014, I suffered a bad depression and anxiety attack that I need to be hospitalized. I was so glad that I checked myself to the hospital because If I didn't go, I probably will be dead right now. I didn't even know that I had high blood pressures and it was over 200. After I was released from the hospital, I worked on my recovery and today I am sharing my story with my writings and speaking at Mental Health Conference. Also I got rid of all dead weights in my life and now can count my true friends on one hand. God brought me through my darkness with Mental Illness to shows me to rewrite my story through His guidance's.

That's our personal conservations to God. I shouldn't allows someone else experience my gospel. My own experiences may be similar to someone else's but the lessons are exclusive to my own journey and it's so true. That because I have experience it for myself. God will provide us a lessons through our own storms. Remember our testimony starts with a test. God is testing our faith to see what we are going to reacted through those storms.
