*My husband, Steve, for sticking with me through thick and thin…and many, many explorations!
*Mom and Dad – always – for loving me among so many other things that it would likely be a book in itself if I listed them all! I hope you both know how much I love and appreciate you and all you’ve done for me over the years.
*My kids, Levi and Mackenzie, for expressing belief in me, loving me…I hope you know how much you mean to me!
*My huge family for loving me – no matter which direction I am going…especially, my brother and sister-in-law, Kevin and Tiffany, who have always been there – literally; my cousin, Kim, and my aunt, Phyllis (who encouraged me on different occasions), and the list goes on…
*My “Oak Hill family”, especially, Tara, Stacy, Heather, and Wendi…for your friendship, support, and for allowing God to use you to boost my confidence in ways you’ll never know.
*Pastor Dan for offering wise counsel…it lingers and manifests itself throughout this book.
*Dr. Clifford Kelly, Liberty University, 2016 – who said, “…you can write”, giving me that added “umph” I needed!
*Doc and Ed Kinnaird and Red Burris (all now deceased) for allowing me to take part in the church services at a young age…I never realized until many years later just how important that was for my growth as a Christian…your legacy lives on.
*Pastors and mentors, past and present, for letting your light shine into my life…and into the pages of this book.
*My friend, Lisa Hysell, who took time to read and critique this first full length endeavor.
