CHAPTER 1

the most important promises are the ones we make to ourselves.

in all things and in all ways, may there be wings behind you (angels ever by you).

may there be promise before you (vision drawing you onward)

and hope ever above you (comfort wrapping you in grace).

may there be strength beneath you (enthusiam beyond yourself).
