People ask why I wrote my story, and it's simple.
God told me to.
It's time to live what I believe. People have questioned why I would tell my story, given it doesn't reflect well on me, but I don't believe the telling of it is about me. It's about the purpose God has for it. He told me I was to 'let it unfold in front of people, and watch them be amazed at the goodness of God in a person's life.' So ... here goes.
Remember Providence
A Journey Out of Obsession
Remember Providence is a personal and spiritual memoir that explores themes of obsession, faith, and redemption. It recounts Simone's journey, beginning in her teenage years with a life-altering experience on a marae (a communal and sacred place in Māori culture). This pivotal moment sets off a struggle with deep personal obsessions and unhealthy attachments that persist through significant life events, including marriage and involvement in church.
The story takes a transformative turn when her fixation on a kind-hearted pastor exposes a larger divine plan at work in her life. The narrative emphasises Simone's resilience in confronting her struggles and highlights the redemptive power of faith and God's providence. It offers a compelling account of personal growth and the transformative impact of spiritual surrender and trust in a higher purpose.
