What kind of legacy are you crafting? Have you taken the time to reflect on it?
When I was a child, my mother made quilts from the leftover fabric scraps of her sewing projects. Over the years, God has shown me that our daily choices are much like those scraps, each one stitched together to create a legacy that will ultimately comfort and warm the loved ones we leave behind.
My grace is sufficient for you. (2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV)
The children at Eastern Gate Farm learn that a decision about finding just the right puppy requires prayer, time, and patience-but unfortunately, their new puppy does not learn that in time to avoid his big mistake. Upon arrival, Mickey instantly looks to Father for guidance; thus, his farm chores are done to perfection. He becomes very confident, especially in keeping the raccoons away from the corn, not allowing them to steal it the night before harvest as they usually do. Unfortunately, his pride controls him, and he leaves the straight and narrow for the broad path that leads to his misadventure-and his subsequent fear and guilt. He falls to the depths of despair, fearful that his error will cost him the love of Father. Readers of all ages will identify with him on some level, and adults will recognize the spiritual symbolism in Mickey's heartwarming tale.

The Lord identified Himself to Moses as I Am Who I Am. Guess what? We are created in His image.
I Am Who I Am celebrates each and every boy and girl, created by God in His image, on purpose and for a purpose. Boys can be happy and proud to be the boys God created them to be and to exhibit their God-given masculine traits. Girls can be happy and proud to be the young ladies God created them to be and to exhibit their God-given feminine traits. It doesn't matter who you are, what your skin color is, or whether you were born with disabilities; you are valuable and precious in the eyes of the Lord.
We have a problem. Culture and the highlight reel content of social media are causing people to have imposter syndrome. They feel like they don't belong; they're not good enough. In her first book, Brienna Robinette weaves a message with Scriptures, stories, and gathered perspectives to help break intimidation and grow, not self-confidence, but kingdom confidence!
Senior Pastor Aaron Soto, Apostolic Truth Church Appleton, WI
Now, this...is good! At more than 50 years her senior, I find myself marveling at such youthful wisdom. The position of truth from which Brie speaks is both convincing and convicting. I'm not your stellar reader by any means, and I say it's too short a read. Yes!! It's that good.
Mickey Mangun, Pentecostals of Alexandria Alexandria, Louisiana
The Greek word translated 'Bold, Boldly, or Boldness' appears more in the book of Acts than in any other book of the Bible. It literally means 'outspokenness, assurance, or CONFIDENCE.' The first-century church needed that Kingdom Confidence in order to become the witnesses who would take the gospel 'unto the uttermost part of the earth' (Acts 1:8). And the twenty-first-century church needs that very same Kingdom Confidence if we truly desire to be Apostolic believers and not just average churchgoers. I encourage you to join Brienna Robinette on this journey to becoming all that God has called you to be!
Bishop Raymond Woodward, Capital Community Church Fredericton, New Brunswick
You are holding in your hands a book that I believe everyone should read. The concept of Kingdom Confidence is so beautifully explained by a young lady speaking wisdom well beyond her years. Thank you, Brienna, for stepping out in faith, being vulnerable, and sharing your words that both encourage and challenge us all to live a life with Kingdom Confidence.

Can we truly live our lives with the expectation that Jesus could come for us at any moment? Could there be a last days revival that is centered on the hope that Jesus is coming soon?
