Dear Reader, I was inspired to write this book in the hopes that it may help others who read it to never give up on whatever life brings your way and to remember that God is with us always in all circumstances. Being the baby of the family of four sisters and two brothers, it sure had a lot of challenges as I grew up. I thank God for my Christian parents who often reminded me that life is not always a bowl of roses. Boy, that was the truth! They often reminded me that God loved me and gave his life for me so I may have an everlasting life through Christ. We all make mistakes in life, but we must always remember that God is with us every step we take. I'm praying that as you read this book it leaves you with a feeling of hope knowing that God says, "Lo I am always with you." -Gary Ross Curtis
