Dear Reader,
What a fun ride it was to write this book imagining your gasps with every twist and turn! I wanted to explore family in this story. We all have a blood family as well as people who are such a strong part of our lives that they are like family. Some people become such a part of the fabric of our lives that we know only God could knit us together that strongly.
I firmly believe that every challenge we face in life can make us better people if we let it. We have to accept the things that come from God’s hand and allow him to use them to mold and shape us. I can’t say that I’ve been able to get to the place where I pray for trials, but at least I’ve come to see their value in my life. God gives us what we need to face every curve life throws our way. We just have to let the pressures push us in the right direction—to be more like Jesus.
This is a deeper, more complex story than I’ve ever attempted, and I hope I have done it justice. I’m eager to hear what you think! I’m so grateful for you, dear reader, and the joy you bring to my life every day. E-mail me anytime. I love to hear from you!
Love,
Colleen
