I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark
sayings of old: Which we have heard and known, and
our fathers have told us.
We will not hide them from their children, shewing to
the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and His
strength, and His wonderful works that He hath done.
Psalm 78: 2-4
Dedications
To my 3 daughters and their families (present and future):
In case you didn’t know, YOU are my favorite.
~ Michelle–may you continue to be awed by His holiness
~ Stefanie–may He always prove to be enough in your life
~ Lauren–may you never cease to be amazed by His glory
~ Frank, my first son-in-love–May you continue to know
His peace that endures
To Patrick and Crystal Mitchell, when I first met you and heard your desire to make a radical difference in God’s kingdom, you inspired me to make this book a reality. Throughout the writing of it, besides my own family, your faces (the representation of young Christian warriors who desire to know the fullness of His glory) were foremost in my heart. THIS IS MY GIFT TO YOU. WATCH Him do extraordinary things! And KEEP your own journals.
To Jeff, my husband of 30 years: The vows we took all those years ago still resound in my heart. “Believing I was made for you only....” That said, God certainly knew I needed adventure in my life. Following you around the world has been extremely challenging, oftentimes difficult, and more times than not, simply amazing, but never boring. I love your heart for Christ. I love your quiet, but strong spirit. You are a spiritual leader in every way though I have not always appreciated that. Thank you for loving me unconditionally.
