Understanding My Assignment

Dorian L. Evans

Description

This memoir shares the story of the author’s parenting journey and how, through faith, she came to understand her assignment in life.

Being a mom isn’t easy, or for the weak. Parenthood doesn’t come with a manual and you never know if you’re doing it right. In Understanding My Assignment, author Dorian L. Evans shares her story of motherhood, of wearing multiple hats and parenting four children—three boys and a girl.



In this memoir, she narrates the details of her journey by trusting the process, raising champions, and figuring out who she is. Evans tells how she jumped, took a leap of faith, and left everything familiar behind for an opportunity to create a life she wanted.



A story of perseverance, faith, and unconditional love, Understanding My Assignment chronicles Evans’ laughs, tears, tests, and trials as she learned to live her life according to her assignment.

PREFACE
I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have said “I don’t know” to my children. It is okay to say, “I don’t know.” “I don’t know” are three of the most powerful and humbling words that you can utter to the universe. “I don’t know” translates to “I don’t know how it’s going to get done. However, I am taking the first step in believing and having faith that it will get done, not through my own might, but through that higher power working behind the scenes to make everything work out for my good.” “I don’t know” is also the first step in trusting the process of the journey that you are about to embark on.
“I don’t know” means admitting you don’t know something and that is okay. In not knowing, you begin looking for the answer, and it isn’t until we are searching for something that the answer is revealed to us. I don’t know exactly what this book is, or who it will reach, or how it will change you, but I know it will. I knew it had to be written, and I had to be the one to write it.
I know we don’t go through things in life for just ourselves.
