God's Eyes Were On Me: Sample

Introduction
God’s Eyes Were on Me
A Journey of Grace, Survival and Divine Purpose
There was a time in my life when I didn’t understand what was happening to me. I didn’t understand my body, the moments that didn’t make sense, or why certain things were harder for me than they seemed to be for others. All I knew was what I could see...and what I could see didn’t always make sense.
So, I did what I knew to do. I pushed through. I adjusted. I kept going. I didn’t stop to ask deeper questions. I didn’t recognize the signs, and I didn’t realize that something greater was unfolding in my life. But God knew.

Looking back now, I can clearly see what I could not see then. Every moment, every challenge, every unexplained experience...none of it was random, and none of it was wasted. It was all part of a journey that God was already aware of, even when I wasn’t. There were times I felt strong, times I felt confused, and times when I completely fell apart. But in my strongest moments, in my weakest moments, and even in the moments I didn’t understand at all...
God’s eyes were on me.

This book is not just about what I went through; it’s about what God was doing while I was going through it. It’s about the moments that didn’t make sense at the time but now carry purpose. It’s about the strength I thought I had and the strength God was developing in me. It’s about falling apart and discovering that even in my brokenness, I was never outside of God’s care.
If you have ever experienced something you didn’t understand, questioned your strength, or felt like life shifted in a way you weren’t prepared for, I want you to know...you are not alone. Even when you don’t understand what’s happening, when life doesn’t look the way you thought it would, and when you feel like you are barely holding it together... God is still there.

And just like He was with me…
His eyes are on you too.

“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong
on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.” — 2 Chronicles 16:9

Chapter 1: The Fall That Didn’t Make Sense
“God Knew What I Didn’t Know”

I have learned to look back over my life differently now—not just through my own understanding, but through the lens of faith. When I do, I can clearly see something I didn’t always recognize in the moment: God’s eyes were on me.
Even when I didn’t understand what was happening, God did. As a young girl, I was full of energy and determination. In high school, I stayed active and
involved. I played basketball, cheered, and gave my best to everything I did. I wasn’t the fastest or strongest in every area, but I had heart—and that carried me a long way.

I also made history in Junior ROTC as the first female Drill Sergeant. That experience meant a lot to me. Our unit became known across Eastern North Carolina, performing on television and at major events. I took pride in representing something bigger than myself. And I’ll be honest—one of my favorite moments was being on the rifle range. Give me an M16,
and I was ready. I was good at it, too. On the outside, I looked strong, capable, and confident. But there were moments that didn’t quite make sense. I remember trying to run track. I wanted to do it just like everyone else. I lined up for the relay race, ready to do my part. When the baton reached me, I took off running without hesitation. Everything felt normal, until suddenly, it didn’t.
Out of nowhere, it felt like there was nothing under me, like my legs just disappeared. And in an instant… I fell.

No warning.
No clear reason.
Just down.

As I went down, I remember thinking, What just happened? I closed my eyes and tried to catch myself, but I couldn’t stop it. What hurt just as much as the fall was what came after. My teammates didn’t hesitate to let me know I had let them down. No one asked if I was okay. No one asked what I felt physically.
They only saw the mistake...and at the time… so did I. I didn’t question it. I didn’t try to understand it. I told myself something simple: I’m just not good at track. So I kept going. I showed up to practice, finished the season, and moved on. But deep down, I carried something I didn’t have words for. Looking back now, I see that moment differently. What I thought was just a bad race… was actually my body speaking.

I just didn’t know how to listen yet…………………..

What she thought was just a fall… was only the beginning.
