This book was written to help you know your worth and to never settle for something you truly feel isn't right for you. I found myself facing two challenging situations back-to-back, leaving me no time to catch my breath or fully recover from one before moving on to the next. Life moves so quickly that we often overlook the important things we should notice and appreciate. I was looking for someone to protect me when I was protected the entire time. God had me all along. We live, and we learn. My situation shaped me into the person who wrote this book, to remind the world that we are worth more than what we may think or others might make us feel we are. My father was right the entire time; most of these guys only want one thing. Once they get it, their interest often fades. It's best to hold out until marriage to be intimate and bring kids into this world. Throughout my trials, I knew everything was taking me to my purpose and what I needed to know to help others and to teach Lea. God would never give us more than we can bear.
