Writing this book was not easy for me. I had to be brave and examine myself to overcome things that would destroy some people. being abandoned left me wounded but not dead. at times in life, we may feel defeated on our own personal journey. we must remember that the race is not given to the swift nor the strongest people, but to the those who can endure to the end of our journey. we can learn how to endure the trials and tribulations that this life will bring. I am an overcomer and more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus.
