In April 2018, at the age of 19, God took Mikella into a vision. In the vision, she was consumed by a large body of water, but she shot up quickly and powerfully. Because Mikella's grandmother had just passed, she thought the vision represented her overcoming the grief of her death. Little did she know that God was about to take her on a journey. She realized in 2019, that her books would not only align with her ministry, but also with her speaking career as a Christian motivational speaker. This book is dedicated to her grandmother Dora, and it is a 20-day guide (which includes quotes, scriptures, and activities in each chapter) based on her life journey and how she overcame hardships while being perfected at the same time. One thing she realized is that we all have a gift, but what you are anointed to do will prevail over your imperfections. "Anointing Over Perfection: The Power of Perseverance in Pursuit of Purpose" was inspired by her looking at all the mistakes she made in her life, feeling and being broken, and not feeling qualified to be used by God. She believes that she had to go through certain things, so the reader of this book wouldn't have to. She realizes that no matter what happens to her in life, or how she responds to what happens, God will not stop loving her. He's going to use everything she went through and goes through for His glory. As Psalm 138:8 says, "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands."
