Intro

First things first: God loves you. One more time: GOD L – O- V- E’s you! Yes you, even you, especially you! It may seem like He doesn’t because its hard for you right now but in 1 Peter 5:10 it says: And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. God would not promise that kind of hope if He didn’t care about you. That is the point of the book. Don’t forget that He loves you. No matter how great that guy looks, how nice that girl is, who you’ve lost, or how bad it hurts right now, God loves you. God wants your love in return, and more importantly He wants you to show it.

My prayer for you is that this book blesses you as much as it has blessed me in writing it. I’m honored and grateful that you have chosen this book. I am a Christian young woman who decided to honor God with all of my life. I have been blessed to have women and men of all ages pour Godly wisdom into me about how to steer through relationships by their testimonies. Like a sponge, I soaked all of their life lessons up. Those lessons have helped me navigate through many challenges and temptations. It has not been easy to stay faithful to Christ but it has been extraordinarily rewarding.

This book contains some of the biblically based wisdom that was given to me in a way that is entertaining and meaningful. But for those who need more guidance, there is a study guide in the back of the book. Sometimes the characters follow good advice and listen to what God says is right. But like in the real world, there are times when the characters do not. I encourage you to think about the consequences of both. Please remember that God never stops loving you. He sent His son to die on the Cross for your sins before you were born. James 1:17 says that God has no variableness, neither shadow of turning. He has not turned His back on you. All you have to do is be willing to accept His love. Learn, enjoy, and pass the lessons on.

Prelude

Tasha

Okay, okay. Tim, I’m on my way. I am walking out of the doctor’s office now. I’m going to sit down and rest like the doctor ordered when I get home. Just please let me enjoy my last visit to Penelope’s before the baby comes.

Fine, Tasha. But I want you and the baby to be safe. I knew I should have ended my shift early to meet you at your appointment. Say hello to Penelope for me and I’ll see you at home.

Thank you. I love you.

I love you too.

Tasha ended the call and waddled to her car. Tears began to fall from her eyes as she thought about the doctor’s visit. She replayed the doctor’s speech over and over again in her head.

Okay Mrs. Polls. We have taken the samples and tested you. We have pin pointed why you have had so many problem with this pregnancy. This is going to be shocking to you and I want you to take it easy and try to stay calm. Any extra stress on this baby could result in serious injury to yourself and the baby. The doctor positioned himself to deliver the news. Tasha braced herself for the news to come and prayed for strength at the same time. "Dr. Frances, I
