About the Book

This book is written for everybody—the young and the old—but especially to the single women and young men who are struggling with life circumstances and obstacles and who need help to overcome them and move forward to what God has in store for them. Many people don’t know my story and will probably be a little surprised to know about my past and present circumstances as I lay them out in this book. I am trying to encourage and uplift our young ladies and young men today to seek God first in spite of the difficulties in life. Obstacles will come, but don’t let them hold you back. My story is told to encourage others and to let others know that they are not alone. I am not ashamed to tell my story because you never know whose lives my story may touch and who may need to hear it. It may inspire someone to move forward. You can have a better future and a better life in God if you allow him to use you.
