Book Cover & Preview Text
Memories will always dwell in our minds, whether good or bad, but we can’t become stuck on them. Instead, we have to move forward even when moving forward seems most difficult. Only then can we look back on our lives and see how far we’ve come, no matter what hand we were dealt. My desire is that my candid openness will help someone else press on with whatever journey life has dealt them and have hope because better days are ahead. I know this without a doubt. I hope that others will find healing in my pain because my greatest ministry to others comes out of my deepest hurts. I am an open book sharing my weaknesses, my struggles, my miseries, my heartaches. The things I may be embarrassed about and ashamed of, are what I believe God will use to heal others. They can find the road to recovery by putting similar mistakes and heartaches behind them and understand that healing is an option. It’s not impossible.

About the Book
Looking back I can see the steps I’ve already conquered in life. They depict places of heartaches as well as triumphs. My life is as it is – with ups and downs and curves and stops; with trials, disappointments and tragedies; with hope, love and peace. It’s necessary to reflect upon those moments – but unnecessary to stay in those moments. I am finally back on the journey that I am supposed to be on. I am willing now, more than ever, to step forward and be the person God created me to be and to live out His purposes while I still have breath on this earth. When I’m finished, He’ll take me home. That’s the story of my life. What’s yours?
