New book shares how Toni D.
Peterson's brush with mortality changed her life
DACULA,
Ga., July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- During
the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Toni
D. Peterson faced a life-altering medical emergency.
An ischemic stroke caused by complications from COVID-19
paired with having "long-COVID" meant that everything in her
day-to-day life quickly changed. In her new book, "Exclusively
Chosen…: My Journey to Purpose," she
shares her spiritual and physical journey through recovery after
her near-death experience.
As someone with a strong type-A personality, Peterson struggled
with adjusting to her new physical and mental limitations. She
relied heavily on her relationship with God to guide her and help
her discover her divine purpose.
"Regrettably, I was not ready to let go of the old me, but
clearly God had other plans," Peterson explained. "I can recall how
alert my spirit was to God's presence while in the hospital.
Although my condition was serious, there was such a presence of God
with me. The reality is that God is always with us, but we don't
always recognize his presence."
By sharing her story, Peterson hopes to help readers grow or
begin their relationship with God, providing Bible verses and space
for notes or reflection in every chapter.
Peterson acknowledges God's grace in granting her a second
chance to fulfill the purpose he ordained for her life. Her
relationship with God is marked by gratitude for his mercy, grace
and unwavering love. Overall, Peterson's relationship with God
evolves from a place of self-reliance and control to one of
surrender, trust, and alignment with his purpose and the purpose he
created her for.
"My experience with COVID was not coincidental," Peterson said,
"I would later discover that I was exclusively chosen to fight on
the frontline of this spiritual battle. Our spiritual journeys are
experienced to not only help us but to bring salvation and
restoration to someone else."
