The upcoming birth of Anolese's daughter, Jennifer, was the only thing that kept her going and renewed her faith in God. Anolese truly believes that God has plans for her life and everything she endured was preparing her. Anolese experienced multiple blessings. Anolese could feel the presence of God and knew that he was moving her along the path of what he had in store for her and she was excited. Anolese has lived through death, sorrow, loss and has persevered with courage to embrace new life, new blessings, joy, peace and new beginnings. In this sequel, my hope is that you will be enlightened and uplifted in reading about Anolese's journey.
