No weapon formed against [Nola] shall prosper, and every tongue which is raised against [Nola] in judgment shall be condemned. This is the heritage of [Nola] the servant of the Lord. And [Nola's] righteousness is from me, says the Lord.

—Isaiah 54:17

My heart is the broken alabaster box and my praise the perfume which emanates to wash His feet.

Hallelujah! Glory, majesty, blessings, thanksgiving, and power be to the only wise God, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the ancient of days, bright morning star, fairest of ten thousand, my rose of Sharon, comforter of my soul, my strength, my peace, my breath, my life, my all in all, my lover and my Lord, Yahweh, Jehovah Shammah, covenant-keeping God, my reliable and faithful friend, my joy, lifter up of my head, my deliverer, my shield and buckler, and my hiding place.

Heartiest thanks to my husband, William, who stood with me through it all. Hon, you are indeed the full measure of a man. Thank you. Blessings favor and grace always may God reward your faithfulness.

Nat's words cannot express my deepest appreciation for your sacrifices and unconditional love and devotion. May the rain fall gently on you and you be fed with honey from the rock. May the Day Star from on high shine brilliantly upon you and reward you with divine grace and favor blessed love.

Sev, thanks for the songs you wrote and sang to me and the prayers and love that you shared. I love you, pumpkin.

Sher and Chris, thanks for the sacrifices that you made to help me at the most crucial point. God bless you and send you help from the sanctuary. May the Lord lift up the light of His countenance upon you and fill you with peace and divine favor. May the great deliverer stand strong on your behalf, prosper and defend you.

Shawn, thanks for always coming to spend time with me; I truly appreciate you—the fun times cooking, watching movies, walking around the bridge, caring for Sir B, and tending chickens.

Sis Alana, you are the wings beneath my wings, my apostle, my Jeremiah. You cried with me, and you lifted me up in prayer. May you receive favor from the Lord always, and may He place some special jewels in your crown.

Sis and Pastor Bailey, thanks for always being there. May your cup overflow into your
