Annette L. DeWitt

Sure as life comes, it goes. It's ever changing. We are ever changing. We laugh, we cry, we win, we fail. We walk through things others never see.

The journey is ours and I've never been more grateful for detours. ~Netty Parker vitalendeavors.blogspot.com

Thank you, Brenda, for without your gentle prodding,

eh hum, encouragement, this book would never

Thank you, Kelly, for thinking the kids

and their families might want

I write to share stories through my journey of faith. I have these stories to share, because of the great women of God who have inspired me along the way. Each of whom, I can say, Tenacious was her faith! Women including Heidi Baker of Iris Ministries, Helen G. Sears McKee, my great grandmother, as well as my daughters, Bethany and Samantha DeWitt. Theirs is the faith that I am inspired to run after.

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
