This book was not written with the purpose of elevating the author to a height of self-glory; instead it is a simple book of truths, circumstances and courage echoing the words. PROMISES - a book of courage in the face of adversity. It serves as a constant reminder to the author and to whoever desires to read this book that all obstacles whether great or small, are ways of enriching our minds. Often circumstances can leave our soul torn, and confuse our minds. But it's in those deepest, darkest and most desperate times, that there dawns a new burst of energy. When we draw strength from our untapped reserves, we might even surprise ourselves at our own courage in the face of adversity. May we all forever find comfort and strength knowing that when the world looks at us with unflinching and ridiculing eyes, we remember our loving heavenly Father looks at us with tenderness and love. Be encouraged that God will use the 'useless' to bring about the useful in each of us. Like He did for Micheal, who through circumstances beyond his control was destined to overcome in a journey through life with harsh realities and tormenting obstacles with the help of the Lord. This book will encourage society's outcasts - those who think there is no hope for life, those who sit on the fence of doubt and those who don't believe in themselves anymore. It will challenge you with the reality that "God can choose anyone at any time." This book will help you realize there is no problem too big that God cannot solve; there is no mountain to high that God cannot climb; for all things are possible with God. The book portrays how life may seem unfair; the pain it offers, unjust; and how the rejection by loved ones brings disappointment. Not every reader may be able to identify with every single experience shared in this account. However, it is hoped that every experience becomes inspirational. These experiences shared by the author are intended to encourage others, particularly those who may find themselves in adverse circumstances. Through the many trial and challenges life allows us to go through, one aspect remains constant... and that is love, an indescribable emotion. The greatest love is that of the Father in heaven for each one of His children. That unquestionable, immense and extra-ordinary love knows no boundaries or limitations. This book allows the reader to embrace pain, surround themselves with love and clearly see the plans that Christ has for each one of us. In this book, Ioney's life takes many winding and difficult turns, often facing obstacles that seemed too heavy to bear, but every obstacle became an opportunity, and soon this frail, whisper-of-a-child, became a woman of the Most High God. When I put pen to paper, my ultimate aim was to encourage anyone who reads this book, who may have gone through similar situations and encountered harsh experiences in the face of adversity as Micheal did. As you read this book, have an open heart to the many that are silently experiencing the emotional torment of being hurt. This book is not a true reflection of any specific individual nor does it pertain to any person. It represents the thoughts of the author and, as such, should only be read in that light.
