Book Cover & Preview Text
I"VE WALKED A LONG ROAD TO GET WHERE I AM TODAY, BUT I'M THANKFUL THAT I MADE IT. WHEN I LOOK BACK DOWN THAT ROAD I SEE MANY THINGS I AM GREATFUL FOR. I SEE THERE WERE MANY HANDS IN RAISING ME AND PROTECTING ME. I SEE NO MATTER WHAT GROUND I STOOD ON, OR WHERE I LIVED, GOD ALWAYS SURROUNDED ME WITH PROTECTION AND MORE OF HIS PEOPLE. I SEE EVERY TIME MY LOAD BECAME HEAVY, OR I CAME CLOSE TO LEAVING THIS WORLD, SOME HOW MY LOAD WAS LIGHTENED AND I SURVIVED. I SEE MY EARTHLY FATHER WALKING AWAY, AND MY HEAVENLY FATHER LETTING ME KNOW THAT HE WILL NEVER LEAVE ME NOR FORSAKE ME. I SEE MY HUSBAND THROWING ME AWAY AT A TIME WHEN I NEEDED HIM THE MOST, AND AT THE SAME TIME GOD STEPPED IN, PICKED UP ALL THE SHATTERED PIECES OF MY HEART AND MADE IT STRONGER THAN BEFORE. I SEE MOMENTS WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS ALL ALONE, BUT THE TRUTH IS I WAS NEVER ALONE. I SEE MOMENTS WHEN I THOUGHT I WANTED TO DIE, BUT THE TRUTH IS I WANTED TO LIVE. NOW AS I STAND HERE TODAY; I SEE THE ENDING OF ONE ROAD WHERE EVERY DUMB AND DEAF SPIRIT THAT SATAN EVER USED AGAINST ME I AM BEING DELIVERED FROM, AND THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER ROAD WHERE MY ISHI [GOD] ARE WORKING MIRACLES THROUGH ME AND BEFORE ME, AND I'M THANKFUL FOR IT ALL.
