Writing this book was not easy for me, Jacqueline Scott. I had to be brave and examine myself to overcome things that would have destroyed 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 those who can endure to the end of our own 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. I had to stand for something, including myself, on my life's journey, and doing so has molded me into the God-fearing and loving woman I am today. I pray that this book will encourage you to keep going on in this life and never give up on yourself or abandon your dreams. We need each other, for we are one body in Christ.
