You provided every experience, every lesson, and every moment of grace needed to bring this book to life for Your people, in Your perfect timing. All glory belongs to You.

To the Holy Spirit, my constant Guide and Helper, thank You for Your gentle leading, unwavering presence, and divine inspiration every step of the way. Your wisdom made the impossible possible.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.”
