"Walk Like You Have Somewhere to Go" by Lucille O'Neal



"Walk Like You Have Somewhere to Go" by Lucille O'Neal is a fast-moving glimpse of her childhood to her life today. Lucille opens her soul to us, being very honest, and holding nothing back. Most chapters open with scripture, God's true Word, serving as her encouragement. She describes growing up as a child, lacking self-love, resulting in a total lack of self-esteem and confidence, which she calls "mental-welfare". As a happy mother of four, she describes how the storms in her life have her so very humbled and grateful for where she finds herself today.

Truthfully, I felt discouraged as I saw Lucille repeating her mistakes until I realized that I can look back and also wonder why it took me so long to learn. Thankfully, God is very patient, forgiving and full of grace. This book reminds me that the storms in life can bring us closer to God than we ever thought possible. I recommend this book to all readers who truly savor the moments they share with those they love.
