I have weathered many storms in my lifetime. I have been married four times. Two of which lasted over 20 years, yet still ended in divorce.I suffered the loss of my relationship with my first love who I thought was my true love in one divorce and the loss of my best friend in the other. I am an only child whose father was murdered while I was a toddler and whose mother died while living with me due to a lengthy illness. I was catastrophically devastated by her death! I wound up raising three sons alone (who by the way, turned out to be amazing family men). I have overcome a drug and alcohol addiction that I chose to self-medicate myself. I have built and lost my dream home, my dream car, as well as my career that I had a great passion for, after years of preparation. I have been incarcerated and took a loss of over $200,000 while being away for two years. Incarceration itself was a terrifying experience for me. I was absolutely lost upon my release.

Even though I was brought up in the church, my faith in God wavered, because of what I was going through. I did not understand why God had seemingly turned a deaf ear to my prayers. I stood on His words that I read in the Bible, and believed everything I read,even if I did not understand it all. But nothing and no one was working out on my behalf....
