Still Here with Purpose

To the woman who has cried in private and smiled in public.

To the woman who has spent years being strong for everyone else while quietly wondering who would be strong for her.

To the woman who imagined a different life by this point—the marriage, the children, the family, the career, the stability, the peace—and is struggling to reconcile the life she envisioned with the life she is living.

To the woman caring for aging parents, carrying family responsibilities, giving financially beyond her means, and feeling guilty when she finally says no.

To the woman who has been misunderstood, rejected, mistreated, taken advantage of, or wounded by people she never expected would hurt her.

To the woman who still believes in God but sometimes struggles to understand His timing.

And to the woman who is tired, uncertain, disappointed, and afraid that she may have missed her moment.

This book is for you.

May these pages remind you that your life is not over, your worth has not diminished, and your future is not automatically determined by your hardest season.

You are still here. And there is still purpose ahead of you.
