An Invitation to Live (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781970822199)

She heard God say no. She did it anyway. And it cost her everything - almost. At nine years old, Kijafa Parker walked down a church aisle and said yes to God. She knew His voice. So when He clearly told her no about a man who checked all the right boxes, she knew that too. She did it anyway. What followed was a decade of carrying what was never hers to carry - a relationship built on lies, a home built on chaos, an identity built on imitation. She co-parented through betrayal, survived financial ruin, and discovered she had unknowingly become someone's secret. Through it all, she kept performing a version of life that looked right from the outside and was breaking her from the inside. Until her body said enough. Three strokes. Then an aneurysm. Then silence. And in that silence - a blank canvas. If you have ever ignored what God told you, paid the price for it, and wondered if you could ever find your way back - this story is your invitation. The canvas is open. You are holding the brush.
