I Went to the Party, But I Didn't Go In

I Went to the Party, But I Didn't Go In is a tender, honest, and deeply reflective journey into the hidden places of confidence, hesitation, and healing. In this intimate debut, Latrisha "Fee-Fee" Redmon shares a single moment that unfolded into a life-changing revelation - a night when she dressed in her finest attire, arrived at the door of a celebration, and found herself unable to walk inside. What seemed small on the surface became a spiritual mirror. Sitting in her car, Fee-Fee confronted not just a moment of hesitation, but the echo of a childhood wound she didn't realize still lingered. The girl in the orange overalls - the one who once shrank under laughter - quietly met the grown woman in the tuxedo who suddenly found herself shrinking again. Through this moment, she was invited into a deeper understanding of herself, her past, and the God who has been gently guiding her healing all along. Told with warmth, clarity, vulnerability, and grace, this book explores: How love can awaken old wounds you thought were settled Why confidence sometimes shifts without warning The difference between fear and self-awareness The beauty of learning to belong to yourself again How God uses stillness, discomfort, and unexpected pauses to reveal truth Each chapter unfolds like a conversation between your present self and the younger version of you still waiting to be seen. Through storytelling, reflection prompts, and spiritual insight, Fee-Fee guides readers into their own "parking lot moments" - those places where we pause at the doorway of our own purpose, questioning our worth, our readiness, or our belonging. I Went to the Party, But I Didn't Go In is more than a story. It is a mirror. A gentle invitation to confront hesitation with compassion, to honor your growth, and to walk into your next season - not for approval, but with awareness. For anyone who has ever doubted themselves at the threshold of something good, this book reminds you that even in the pause, God is patiently preparing you¿ until you are ready to go in whole.
