Faith is a relationship with not giving up!

Many of you have wondered before how I’ve done it. I don’t talk about it much, but I’ve been through a lot. Those of you who really know me, or who have known me for a long time have an idea. For those of you that don’t know me as well or who may have met me recently – there’s a lot of mystery as to all I’ve been through.

Nonetheless, the aim for this post is not to make anyone feel sorry for me, not by any means. I am not the kind of person that feels sorry for myself. In times of hardship, I have learned to not only survive, but to thrive. I was pondering upon a good quote for this post tonight; I thought of the one above. “Faith is an everlasting relationship with never giving up.“

That’s how I’ve done it. Simply, Wonder no more. I simply have the will and stamina that God has given me to keep on going no matter what. Most of you know that my book series, Not Without God, is centered around a catastrophic accident I encountered when I was a teenager at sixteen years old. My books depict my faith, how I overcame, walked, and became a professional teacher. There’s a lot more to my books! If you are interested you can take a look: Not Without God books.

I’m a long-time educator. Despite my accomplishments, I have suffered a lot of hardship – but I am forever grateful to God who helps me win all my battles, To him be the glory!!!
