During the course of our lives, trials, challenges, and tribulations will come despite the fact that we do not have a desire for them to manifest. Most of us would prefer to live a problem-free life. However, life is not designed that way. We learn valuable lessons from situations and circumstances that occur. It is left up to us to learn the lesson well and swiftly move forward to the next one. Genuine, Godly characteristics are built on some of our experiences in life. My desire is that you and I experience a richer, more abundant lifestyle, with God’s help and guidance. I want to inspire and encourage others to know that we can make it through any adversity. Although at times, things may seem a bit devastating and perhaps impossible, we will overcome if we do not give up! I extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to you in advance for your supportive efforts as readers of this memoir.
