In 65 heartfelt lessons, Pastor Nicole Washington shares wisdom shaped through faith, dialysis, endurance, healing, and the grace of God through life's most difficult seasons.
Because no matter what life has placed in front of you — you are still here for a reason.

A Message from Pastor Nicole
"I'm still here. God is not finished with me yet — and He's not finished with you either."
On my 65th birthday, I wanted to give something back. Not a party. Not gifts. But wisdom — real, hard-won, Spirit-shaped wisdom from decades of walking with God through triumph and trial alike.
What came out was 65 lessons — one for every year of my life — that I believe God gave me to share with you. Each one is honest. Each one is personal. And each one comes with a prayer: that you would be encouraged, strengthened, and reminded that your life still has purpose.
This book is my heart on paper. It is my birthday gift to you. Because if one lesson, one sentence, one page can help you keep going — then every hard thing I've walked through was worth it.
Whether you're 25, 45, 65, or 85 — these lessons are for you.
