Dedicated to:

This work is dedicated to my precious and lovely wife, Eulanda, who passed away on April 15, 2020, after battling cancer for the last two years (2018-2020) of her life. Eulanda is now in her heavenly rest with Jesus Christ, her Lord God and Savior. For those who knew Eulanda, this was her faith and her hope. Being a child of God, a disciple, and a follower of Christ was her greatest joy.

To my love, I am thankful for every moment we had together. And I strive, by God’s grace and for His glory only, to be the very best servant of God in whatever capacity that He has purposefully and lovingly designed for my life. You, my Eulanda, were always my encourager. You, my love, were always the one who had my back and who always supported and encouraged me to press on. I love you forever, my Eulanda.

Hebrews 12:1-2 says,

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfected of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”
