"My hope is that this book will be a great encouragement as readers see how God worked in my life. I should have been a statistic, but God lead me through the deep waters and valleys of adversity to victory in Him." -Melinda Kreischer Knowing Melinda Kreischer has been a privilege. It has been a friendship that started out as a divine connection. We were both amazed how God had orchestrated the timing of it. Had she not been obedient to what God wanted her to do one evening, she might have missed the divine fork in the road that would change her life forever. Having the privilege to hear Melinda speak about her life was an evening I will not forget. I had a few professional women over one evening and invited Melinda Kreischer to be the guest speaker. Women were on the edge of their seats and stayed that way for two hours. It was a night those women went away glad they were there. It was an inspirational meeting that left them amazed, yet refreshed believing once again that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The story of Melinda Kreischer is captivating. The supernatural DNA of The Christ within her gave her the strength of character to maneuver through the maze of her life to who she has become today. I am honored to have witnessed the rich treasures that have been deposited in her life from the throne room of God. It has been a privilege to walk alongside her these past years and call her a friend. Melinda's story is inspiring and can give you hope as you trust the same God that gave her what she needed in her time of need. This same God that helped Melinda is just a breath away for you, too. Ask Him to help you. He is the same God yesterday, today, and forever. -Dr. Cynthia Woodward, BCM, MMIN., ND, PHD
