CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Sipping Your Tea<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Dr. Alecia Mobley<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

December is here, and with it comes the observances of Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa. Faith and belief in a Higher Power are embraced, renewed, rediscovered, increased. Above all, everyone\u2019s spiritual journey is unique to the individual, as unique as the way God (or Allah, Yahweh, Buddha, etc.) speaks to us. Equally important is our spiritual communication, being in relationship. Such is Dr. Alecia Mobley\u2019s journey in her book Conversations With God (While Sipping Your Tea).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Mobley\u2019s book, we witness her use of journaling as one of her ways of having conversations with God; the excerpts from her journal entries speak volumes. We witness facets of her relationships with her daughters, her ex-husband, and her family and friends. Starting with a Compass Point, her journal entries illustrate the themes\/conversations introduced in each chapter: obedience, healing, love, joy, patience, uncertainty, deliverance, pain, blessings, growth, forgiveness, and new beginnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From past to present, Mobley\u2019s journals show her ongoing spiritual growth, through prayer, her life experiences, and talking to God on a regular basis. One bit of advice I have received over the years is demonstrated in her work: when talking or praying to God, you must have the patience to wait for His answer. He may not answer in the way we expect, or when we want Him to, but He always does, and right on time. In addition, her Reflections at the end of each chapter invite us as readers to look within ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved the way Mobley set up her chapters, which start with a scriptural text and a Compass Point, representing where she was at a given time. As we are all at different stages of our journey, It gave me pause to reflect that where I was in my 20s is quite different from where I am now in my 70s. Through reading her work, I am reminded once again that God reveals things to us according to our being in the space to receive them. Our knowledge is limited, yet we can tap into His infinite wisdom at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversations With God is available through Tall Pine Books, Amazon, and the Minnesota Black Authors Expo website (www.mnblackauthorsexpo.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a pleasure to meet you at the Minnesota Black Authors Expo, Dr. Mobley. Thank you so much for sharing your story, the blessing of your book, and the importance of being in relationship with God, not only for this season, but as a daily walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
