I have to acknowledge and thank those who have been on this life journey with me.

My husband, your love, patience, and constant pushing has inspired me to tackle something I would have only dreamed of-thank you! Thank you for seeing more in me than I could see in myself. Thank you for believing in me, even when I was in the middle of learning and not doing it so gracefully. God knew I needed you to continue to develop me and shape me into the woman He called me to be. You changed my world.

To my parents, your love, wisdom, insight, and consistency have shaped me into the woman I am today. Thank you for constantly calling me up, modeling what a God-fearing/ God-loving home looks like, and for loving me in a way that inspired change because your home is a safe place. You are the best role models one could ask for.

To my kids, I have learned so much about God, myself, and the person I want to be because of you. You have awakened my heart and inspired me in ways you will never know. Each of you are some of the greatest gifts I will ever receive this side of heaven.

And to my bestie, not only have you encouraged and challenged me to be vulnerable and share my story, but you have also walked through a whole lot of real life right next to me. I am forever grateful to God for giving me the gift of YOU.

I am so very thankful to have each of you in my corner.
