Is it so important to have love and acceptance that you ignore obvious danger and disgrace around you every day? Follow one woman's journey from teenhood to adulthood, which details the verbal, physical, and spiritual abuse she encountered. Living in self-denial, she was attracted to the love of men who had a completely different interpretation of commitment and affection.
She had faith and belief in those who treated her harshly, ignoring the voice of God, who spoke to her through the situations. In her mind, God did not come in her time, and she was always in a hurry to get the love she felt she deserved.
From the depths of her soul, she shares the good, the humorous, and the horrific events that caused her to find herself and finally recognize God. Regardless of the hardships, disappointments, and setbacks, she learned to follow His plan and proudly proclaims, "And I came out smiling!"
