irst of all, I would love to give credit to my Heavenly father for giving me the courage to write this book, but also guiding my steps for every experience you are about to read. Life always works better when you work with Heaven and not against the current which all Blessing flow.

I'd also like to thank my biological father. I’m happy you were chosen to be my dad because I wouldn’t be who I am if you and mom weren't my parents. You weren't perfect, but perfect for me to face this world head on. I wish mom and champ were here to read this book, but they chose to be in paradise. Looks like it's just you and me kid.

Thank you to my childhood youth pastor, Father James Billinger. You served thousands, but still had time for me as a child and now. I have always done what you taught me spiritually and held your words closely to my walk. Thanks to my other spiritual leaders Rabbi Hubie Shorb and Kenneth Powers when I was growing in the Lord your wisdom was always taken seriously.

Sherry Pfeifer for being the best English Teacher and role model. Thank you for being more like a big sister and speaking the truth in love. I wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for you going above your job title. Who knew a little girl from Maize, KS could become an author.

To my ministerial friends and family in Dodge City, KS. A million thank Yous to the Bogarts, Steve Ormord and Heath Ormord, Kirk Larson and Chris Conner for allowing me to serve them and with them taking care of the spiritual needs of Dodge City. Lastly, to the ministerial alliance and the priests of Guadelupe Cathedral for interceding for me as I served the community.

My final Gratitude would be to Rob Hotchkin whom I had the pleasure meeting in 2011 at a Conference with Patricia King Ministries. He is the Ambassador of Agape Love and he never changes. I have called your ministry several times for some serious situations that needed much prayer. Your support and kind shepherd’s heart reminds me there is still good out there that wants me to keep going. Right now, you are in the Netherlands for Revival and made me Brave to write this book. Keep listening to those silent whispers from God. We need to know what he confides in you to keep our Kingdom in Unity and accountable. Agape you Brother!

Chapter 1

Time to Plan

s long as I can remember, it has always been important to me to be obedient to God. There are times when I have an urgency to complete a task or inform a message to someone I feel they need to hear. It begins with a thought, then with prayer and more thoughts throughout the week. Finally, I’m ready to speak my heart, but first, say to God, I’m ready.

Throughout the years, I have served the community as an advocate for autism, domestic violence, children in the foster care system, or Juvenile detention. I would never in a million years agree with anyone that a human soul deserves this or
