I am grateful for several friends and family in encouraging me to start the work, persevere with it, and finally to publish it.This memoir includes reflection pages within so that you can easily jot down memories that coincide with my stories; scriptures that you found helpful, thoughts and just anything that God lays on your heart. There is a release that comes with writing that cannot be taught.I pray that this book will help others to win the battle waged from darkness. I pray that we all come out as victors and not victims. I pray that these pages are a blessing to anyone who reads them. I pray blessings and increase upon every area of your life.There's never a dull moment in the life of this Rose that grows out of a rock. She camouflages sunshine, has serendipitous family secrets, generational dysfunction, and lies. She suffers betrayal, jealousy, abandonment, incest, rape, and hatred. All of which work to destroy the Rose's soil and soul.What does it take to come out of the darkness from all of these traumas? Traumas that are intensified by adding to them drugs, abuse, greed, and alcohol, increasing the damage to these already destructive behaviors? Ballalaine spent over 16 years in church and in ministry including: children's ministry, deliverance, intercession, evangelism and outreach. She spent time in various denominations: Catholic, Baptist, Pentecostal, Non-Denominational, and in diverse cultures. She's seen it all. Despite her difficulties, Ballalaine has accepted that although pain is inevitable, we must learn to smell the roses and pick the flowers instead of the weeds. In this memoir, she's collected a slice of her life's tales to help others navigate and administer self deliverance. She teaches us to pray until something happens using her own prayers. She gives exact scriptures for every situation from healing, to finance, children, marriage, business, and more. She demonstrates how to be a prayer warrior and intercessor using her real life stories. These stories and prayers that were written in her prayer closet lead you to an intricately woven relationship and freedom with the Lord Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit. Her journey refreshes, renews, and revives dead prayers and is life altering. Reading this book, you will learn that trusting the process truly means that a Rose can and does beautifully bloom... even out of a Rock.
