Dedications

I want to dedicate this book to my children, my fiancé, and my parents.

Girls, each of you represent a different season within my life. Each season you all have helped me grow to become a better me for you. You are all different flowers blooming from the same garden, and I am so proud of you. As young as you are, you have demonstrated your support in this assignment. I want you to learn from me that it’s important to speak your truth and to live your life for The Lord and the advancement of his Kingdom.

Just know that when I count my blessings, I am always counting three. It’s a beautiful thing that our family has this amazing testimony to share about the miracle of Chasia’s healing.

Hunnie, thank you thank you, for all your support and encouragement. You know none of it has been easy, but you have been my rock. The fact that you believe in me, stayed up with me, counseled me, and gave me my time when I needed it, there are not enough words to express my gratitude. Life is so much easier when you have a supporting and loving partner. Along with the girls, you help bring out the best in me. Thank you for taking this ride with me my love.

Mommy, listen had it not been for your prayers of covering over my life….I am not certain how my story would have begun. What you demonstrated before me was diligence, perseverance, and the power of a praying woman. Thank you for being my light and for teaching me how to truly praise and worship The King of All Kings. Thank you for teaching me it is not about religion, but the relationship one develops with God.

Daddy, thank
