Читать книгу Through the Night - Lynette Theisen - Страница 6

I first want to give thanks to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.Without His love, mercy, and guidance, I would not be the person I am today. Thank you, Lord, for showing me my purpose and giving me this exciting journey to embark on.

I want to give thanks to my wonderful husband and great supporter of this endeavor. Thank you for your sacrifices and unwavering support. I love you, Steve!

To my four beautiful children: Bryley, Kylan, Alex, and Andi, who had to spend several nights “fending for themselves” or rummaging through laundry piled up in the hallway so that I could work on the book. Each one of you is such a blessing to me, and I love you with all of my heart.

To my parents, Elias Briones and Casey Rose, thank you for your constant love and believing in me. Dad, you really showed so much excitement and enthusiasm each step of the way! On days I was less confident, I knew I could count on you to lift me up. Mom, thanks for being there when I need you.

I want to give a special thanks to my Momma T, aka Ann Tyler.You helped me in so many different ways that I could never begin to fully thank you enough. You’ve loved me like your own daughter, and I will eternally be grateful for that. May the Lord continue to richly bless you with love, family, and friends.

This book could not have been possible without so many different people who helped along the way. It was surely a long, tedious process, but one worth working for.

To Cheryl Bowers, who took the chance of me thinking she was some “crazy woman” calling me on the phone to deliver the message God put on her heart. That message opened the door for me to walk through and begin my journey. By the way, I never thought you were crazy!

To everyone who was my “guinea pig” and read the original manuscripts, thank you for giving your honest feedback!

To my project manager at The Small Press, Cynthia Stillar: thank you for seeing something in this book and helping to make it a reality.

The Lord has truly blessed me with so many amazing friends who have constantly encouraged me along the way. You know who you are, and each of you are so special and have been such a great source of strength for me. Thank you for all you do. Your friendship means the world to me.
