Dedication

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him ~Colossians 3:17 NIV

All praise and honor to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for without Him none of this would be possible. I thank Him for the knowledge, wisdom, and divine guidance in creating this project. I thank Him for the confidence I would have never had in myself if it were not for Him. I thank Him for His grace and undoubted mercies. It is my prayer that this book will bring all the honor and glory unto Him, for He is the one who rightfully deserves the praise. I thank you Lord for allowing me to be your devout servant. In times of weakness you are my strength. In times of struggle you are my rock. But through it all you granted me peace and unspeakable joy. I am forever grateful to be on this journey you have designed for me. I am blessed and proud to be considered as one of God’s righteous. Although I am far from perfect, I now see myself through God’s eyes. I am humbled to be a usable vessel.

I am honored to have the privilege to write this book. I whole heartedly dedicate this book to my sons Andre and Justin. Since they were babies I would always tell them for you I would fight the biggest giant. Whether I could win or not, I would bravely battle any giant for the benefit of my children. Over their lifetime I have had to overcome many obstacles, but thanks be to God I was able to come out victorious with the help of my living angels.

Thank you Andre for being my motivator, my encourager, and one of my greatest source of strength. Your intelligence is like no other. Continue to allow the Lord to use you in a mighty way. Your creativity and entrepreneurial spirit is an inspiration to me to do more, be more, and to live more.

Thank you Justin for being my heart and one of my source of joy. Your fiery spirit is a generational gift. Keep allowing God to lead your heart. Your compassion for others motivates me to whole heartedly serve God’s people. Thank you for being in tune with me and always showering me with hugs and kisses at times when I needed it the most. You and your brother are indeed my greatest blessings. May this publication be another piece of evidence to you both that with God all things are possible.

I would also like to dedicate this book to my mother Kay Hodge. There are no words to truly express my gratitude to her for her unconditional love and support over the years. She is the epitome of motherhood. Her strength and unwavering love showed me how to be the best mother I can be to my sons. Thank you mom for always being on my team. I love you with every fiber of my being. I thank God for connecting us together for life. My father Leroy, my brother Lee, and myself are truly blessed to have you grace our lives.

This book is also dedicated to the one it was uniquely designed for. It is my prayer that this book reaches your hands and inspires your heart to walk in faith. May it strengthen
