PROLOGUE
You might have witnessed my public protest against the preacher/contractor's church on the news, fueled by my belief that he allegedly halted construction on my house to divert funds for personal gain. Alternatively, you could have come across my candid exposé on Facebook or YouTube, where I confronted him for stealing a cabinet from my garage, a moment captured by my Ring cameras. Bless Ring video cameras!
If you recall, I used to work in real estate. Unfortunately, after attempting to assist the preacher/contractor in securing a loan and finding land for his church, he, well… I sigh; he's the reason I exited the real estate industry. The frustration with that individual reached such a point that I couldn't authentically guide someone else in purchasing a house while dealing with my own housing predicament.
However, if you are unfamiliar with my story, you've picked up this book to understand how, years later, I experienced a nervous breakdown due to the preacher/contractor's actions. Despite being a homeowner since the age of twenty-five, having constructed two houses, I found myself renting because, you guessed it, the preacher/contractor's actions delayed my third home loan. The strain became unbearable after four years in a tiny apartment, prompting me to reach my breaking point. Regardless of your familiarity with my situation, you are about to embark on a roller-coaster journey with me, discovering how I reclaimed my life when a preacher/contractor, along with the police, sheriff, CPS, APS, CASA departments, and certain family members, attempted to dismantle one of God's anointed children, only to realize they shouldn't have dared!
In September of 2023, my Christian therapist assigned me the task of creating a timeline and drafting a letter to the man who played the dual roles of preacher and contractor. Unfortunately, my resentment had dictated almost four years of our lives. While I had already penned the introduction for this book, her personal assignment brought clarity to my journey and the triumphs God allowed us to experience despite the adversities the devil intended for our harm. God, with His rollercoaster ride of lessons, guided us to a better, more substantial, and wiser destination. As we disembarked from that battle ride, all we could do was look back and witness the hand of God in every loop, sharp turn, and unexpected jerk, only to descend and rise higher than ever, praising Him like never before.
I am grateful for how God strategically places people in our lives at the right time. Thanks to my therapist, the introduction will unfold like a writing teacher instructs:
I'll preview what I'm going to write about in this introduction, provide details and explanations throughout the book, and then recap what I wrote about in the epilogue. As an ex-writing teacher and current author, this book serves as my testimony. It goes beyond chronicling those challenging four years, delving into a six-year span where I showcase the hand of God. It reveals how He unveiled truths, healed me from years of pain, and, had it not been for this life tragedy, the masked players in my life would not have been exposed as the imposters they are. Perhaps my pride in mediocre success could have been the reason God allowed this tragedy. However, when you know God, you'll always return home to learn, correct, and redirect in His purpose.
In short, the timeline is as follows
