![](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2012/02/speed-300x300.jpg "speed")If conviction follows intention, then confession must follow both.

*This is my confession.*

Before I chicken out; **I am taking the rest of the year off from speaking and writing my fourth book**.

The past few years I have been furiously working, writing, researching, and speaking towards 20-somethings.

****This girl needs a break.**

I finished the work, the race, and I sped my little heart out.

*My third book is done, minus edits.* 

*My second book is launched.* 

*Now it’s time to rest and wait on God to show me His glory.*

> *Exodus 33:3, NIV84 says, “Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey. *But I will not go with you*, because you are a stiff-necked people and I might destroy you on the way.”*

**I refuse to go anywhere without God.** The blessings of the Lord are not enough. His presence alone is worth more to me than the calf. I have made my blessings into an idol and for that, *I confess.*

**Everything I write and speak must be from personal *conviction***. **My intentions are not good enough. I must leave room for faith.**

> *Hebrews 11:1, NIV84 says, “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”*

The guest pastor at North Coast Calvary last night said, “Religion is not just memorizing it and doing your best.” I want the thrill of sin to repel me. I refuse to go anywhere unless God goes with me.

*This is not an emotional high.*

This is about me *instantly* obeying the voice and command of God to remain intentional.

**I wouldn’t have written *Faithbook of Jesus*, *Not Another Dating Book*, and especially not my third book without intense years of suffering in prayer for God to restore me so I could publish His deeds across the nations.**

With that said, I find myself overcoming self–to once again be *led* by God. I’m excited to honor two words for the year, “Remain” and “Intentional.” My blogs will still continue, but other than that who knows. *God?*
