Surrounded by His Presence

About the Book

My story has many painful battles! Growing up sometimes was hard with my mom. Having 12 of us kids, mom was very difficult to live with, she could be loving 1 minute and brutal, just like that, I managed to appear strong.  I have to say though, living with 12 kids was lots of fun. We always had someone to play with. My mom raised us to love the Lord and I'm thankful she did. Dad was not able to stop my mom from her anger. I wish he did, however, my dad worked very hard and sometimes worked over time as I grew up with the Lord, he was always with me to call upon him, his grace set me free
