Behind the Launch & LIVE
So a week ago I launched a Devotion, a 15 Day Devotion
that was birthed out of my own walk with God and journey.
This book is for the believer who feels unequipped, the one who is weary, and the one who is hungry for more of God, who desires to build and develop their spiritual life.
Read one day at a time, morning or night, whenever you can sit with Him.
Not only did I launch, I also rejoined one of my platforms, TikTok, this week.
It’s been a while, 6 months to be exact, since I joined TikTok as a LIVE host. Today I hosted one of my devotion lives.
Crickets, discomfort, coming back, reigniting, obedience.
I put my feelings aside, and showed up. I presented my devotion to a few people.
Because that’s what obedience looks like.
It looks like discomfort, silence, and showing up when least expected.
In the TikTok world we call this Pop up LIVE.
After weeks of writing, designing, praying, and polishing, my 5-Day Gift edition of Sword Delight Devotions finally went out into the world.
If you’ve ever held something close to your heart and wondered whether it was time to share it, pull up a chair. This one’s for you.

I did my part Lord
So after my early drop off I prepped my LIVE and stepped into obedience. Because this is what it looks like; Obedience when it’s discomforting and least expected.
Did I get likes, comments? Nope I got crickets.
I kept my cool, and continued with my LIVE welcoming a few viewers unto the room.
“I did my part Lord, I said out loud!“
And ended the LIVE!
Turns out I was restricted from viewing and showing up in the FYP. If you know anything about the lingos of Tiktok you’d understand the frustration. TikTok felt I was sharing an unoriginal document, That was my own work, what in the world?!
Anyways, that’s that!
Pop-up live hashtag was also removed. Guess I need to sharpen my knowledge on the rules of TikTok again.
TikTok Lives
I showed up every day. Right after my school drop-off, I would prep my LIVE and get right on TikTok. And every day I showed up, it gave me more courage to share my devotion and what I created with the world on TikTok.
I wasn’t worried about numbers. I was now stepping into my purpose, to teach, to inspire, and encourage people in my world. That was enough satisfaction for me.
Put it into Practice
In my LIVE I decided I wanted to GIFT 3 people with my own Devotion. So I made the announcement, and presented a Sample Devotion.
A Taste of Day 1
Here is a taste of Day 1 from Sword Delight Devotions:
... put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:9
Paul wrote Philippians while imprisoned, with Timothy named alongside him, to encourage the church at Philippi to stay strong and keep their eyes ahead, and I needed that today. It’s easy to read a verse and move on. Paul says take what you’ve learned and put it into practice. For me, that means living what I say I believe, even in the small everyday and mundane moments.
Sword Delight Devotions Day 1
5 DAY DEVOTIONAL snippet of what to expect NEXT
It’s free, just an email signup, ahead of the full book launch. I made it free because I wanted people to get a little taste, five mornings with God, before the whole book arrives.
The Day of Gifting My Devotional
On the day of gifting my Devotional, I came on LIVE two times: at 9am for my Day 5 teaching from one of my devotions on Worship, and at 12:30 for my giveaway.
I randomized the names. Out of 11, 3 were selected: Daniel, Meh (Beckah), and Mechelle.
I announced my 3 gifters and messaged them about the giveaway.
My heart was happy and grateful. I wanted to give back, and I just did that!
Gifting and Email
I messaged the 3 gifters. Daniel did not respond, so I waited until the next day to reach out again. By then, his user name no longer existed on the app.
So I randomized the names again, and one more gifter was selected: Justin
Justin is one of my students and suporters on the app. I was so happy he won!
Grateful heart and a great giveaway.
Wait in Expectation
If this journey has taught me anything, it is to wait in expectation. Wait on the Lord, because He always shows up.
There were moments when it was quiet. Moments when it felt like nothing was happening. But God was still moving, even when I could not yet see it.
“He did it for me, he will do it for you too!”
So do not stop believing in your season of waiting. Keep showing up. Keep obeying. Keep trusting that the Lord knows exactly where you are and what you need.
Invitation
Before you go, I want to invite you to take a taste of Sword Delight Devotions. Begin with my free 5-Day Gift Edition at Firestarterignite.com/free-gift. It includes five days of devotions with Journaling and resources to help you study the Word.
And if those five days bless you, the full 15-day Sword Delight Devotions is available for purchase at Firestarterignite.com/sword-delight-devotions.
Start with the taste. Sit with Him one day at a time. Wait in expectation, and see what the Lord will do.
Until next time, keep studying, keep standing, and keep your sword sharp.
