About the Author
Back Cover
This book is lovingly dedicated to my husband, Justin.
I did not know the meaning of the word cherish until I met you. Thank you for cherishing me. Words fail to express how grateful I am to have you by my side and to serve Jesus with you.
With you, I learned to stand against the evil one. I know that Gods best is worth fighting for, worth praying for, and worth waiting for.
I love you.
I owe a great debt to the staff of Redeemed Girl Ministries for prayer, support, listening ears, extreme patience, and faithful counsel during the writing process. Thank you, Rebecca and Marianne; not only are you dear friends, but you are my ministry partners.
Thank you to my friends Angel and Catherine for sharing your time and talent to edit this book. Your gift is a treasure! I am also grateful for my friend Blake, who read the manuscript and was bold enough to tell me to start over. It is better because of your honesty.
I am forever grateful to the board of directors of Redeemed Girl Ministries for your wisdom, support, and prayers.
To my amazing family: Your faith is a rock. Im humbled to be surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses and know that your prayers move mountains!
To my agent, David Shepherd: You championed this book, and I am especially grateful for your persistence.
To the entire team at Baker Publishing Group and Bethany House Publishers: Your passion for truth and excellence continually inspires me. I am especially thankful to my editor, Tim Peterson, for partnering with me to see women set free by the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. This book would not be the same without your wise guidance and influence.
To my bonus boys, Brenden and Andrew: I cannot imagine life without you. It is an absolute privilege to be your stepmom. You are a daily reminder of Gods goodness and faithfulness.
To my amazing husband, Justin: I love you. Not only do you model Christs love to me, but you also lived the precepts of this book with me. Thank you for never settling for less than His best and for praying this work into existence. Gods best is worth fighting for, worth waiting for, and worth praying for.
I want the fairy tale.
~ Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) in Pretty Woman
L isten, girls. If you dont respect yourself, how do you expect others to respect you?
~ Mike ODonnell (Zac Efron) in Again
I m just a girl , standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
~ Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) in Notting Hill
Jesus is better!
We are not called to focus on the battle or the devil... our calling is to focus on Jesus. The work of the devil, however, is to draw our eyes from Jesus. Satans first weapon always involves luring our eyes from Christ.
Francis Frangipane, The Three Battlegrounds
I desperately wanted to make a beeline for the exit and detour.
When I saw the exit sign for the 5K runners, I was doing okay, but once I reached the 10K mark, everything in me wanted to turn right and follow the pack leaving the official race course. The 10K mark in my first half marathon was my official breaking point.
As previously confessed, Im not a naturally gifted runner. Off and on since high school, Ive picked up jogging for the sheer fact that I like food way too much. But Ive never been one of those gals who wakes up at the crack o dawn bursting with enthusiasm about her morning jog.
I wish.
Honestly, before signing up for a half marathon, I would probably max out at four miles. I was actually shocked that no one gave me a jersey for such a feat. I even thought about putting one of those stickers on my car that says 4 miles, but I thought that would make all the other joggers jealous of my fierce athletic prowess.
Now that you know my not-so-amazing running history, you can appreciate how challenging it was for me to run 13.1 miles. Sometime around August of last year, one of my favorite ministries recruited me to run in the Houston Half Marathon in support of rescuing young girls out of sex trafficking. I tried to think of ways I could respectfully decline, but honestly, how does one say no to sex-trafficking rescue? Besides, an added benefit is the recommendation of carbing-up. For this gluten-free gal, a free pass at carbs for a worthy cause put the butter on my bread, so to speak. I committed.
