It is about the daily transitions of life that we go through. I emphasize going after your purpose and not shallow things that shift. This book guides you into learning about who you are and whom you were created to be.


I open up about my struggles and victories. I provide insight on many things, some of which include advice on courtship, waiting for a man or woman of God, how to date with purpose and how I met, courted and married my husband in less than a year! I address how I overcame my areas of insecurities, my perceived flaws and areas of improvement. It can be a challenge to get through life always looking at the subjunctive. Instead, this book is about moving forward with God. I am candid and open about how God has been a mighty deliver in so many ways.
