Many people don't believe in God, his son Jesus, or the Holy Spirit. I know the Lord is real because he has a presence. Whenever I have needed him, he has always been there. Whenever I thought it was the end, he said it was just the beginning. When I thought I was alone, he assured me I wasn't. When I've been knocked down, he extended his hand, told me to get back up, and try again. Lord, I thank you for changing my life. Even though I still have a long road to travel on my spiritual journey, I know you will be there every step of the way (like you have always been). This book is based upon the story of my life. I've truly had my share of experiences, and this book will reveal a lot of them. My goal in writing this book is to give people hope to follow their dreams, rise above other people's expectations (or non-expectations), and change is possible. I sincerely hope you will learn or take something positive with you from my experiences. Enjoy the book!
