The purpose of this book is to relate lessons we can all learn through our experiences in suffering and through blessings we are given in Gods school of character molding. It is important to realize that life and living on this earth are only a training ground for God to mold us for our eternal home in heaven. Please remember to keep in mind as you read of my experiences in life that I give God all glory and praise for His patience and love. My mistakes and heartaches recorded here are to remind the reader that we all have a story to tell. It is wise to reflect back on memories and to give thanks for answered prayers and Gods grace for our present, past, and future.
