INTRODUCTION

I encourage you to seek the Lord and His everlasting, unconditional love. Through all your trials and tribulations, never be discouraged. Trust and have faith in Him, for He will guide you through every situation.

I exhort you to study His word and believe. Trust and talk to God, for He wants to communicate with you. He is a prayer-answering God. He is faithful, He is just, He is merciful, and He loves all people.

This book is inspired by experiences, visions, and dreams I received from the Lord. I dedicate it to my wonderful four daughters, grandchildren, family and friends.

Who am I?

Why am I here?

What is my purpose in life?

As I matured, these questions prevailed in my mind. I have now found comfort and contentment through the word of God, my prayers, dreams, the revelation of Jesus Christ, and my unconditional surrender to Him. I’m confident that He has given me all the answers I need about who I am and my purpose on earth.

We knew that our faith in God and our prayers would carry us through this painful and strenuous time of our lives. As we faced our mountains, I could feel the hand of God lifting, strengthening, and carrying us daily through every situation.

The doctor had informed us of JT’s dismal future, but he always gave us a little ray of hope. "He’s doing okay, but he’s not
