Seasons of the Soul

Book Cover & Preview Text
Plans When I think I’ve got it under control and things are going as planned, I’m really at the mercy of Him who knows and understands: He knows my plans are suggestions, things that I’d like to get done, and smiles at my attempts because only His will shall be done. He understands that I’m not perfect, and my plans will never be either, so He surprises me with tests and trials that will teach me patience through error. So when things are stressful and difficult I’ll smile and just be thankful that God’s plan is already in motion and going right on schedule.

About the Book
In this inspirational poetry collection, Desireé Barnes explores the idea that everything has a time and a purpose ordained by God, even pain and suffering. What might seem superfluous and unfair in the midst of a storm is more beneficial than the human mind can fathom. God wants to build our character, making our souls stronger and more available to hear our calling. Each poem looks into a different emotion—anger, love, loneliness, and worthlessness—to find how such negative thoughts can lead to peace and joy in abundance. Writing this poetry brought healing to Barnes' chronic migraine and tension headaches and helped her to realize God's unconditional love, and that is exactly her hope for you: healing and accepting God's love.
