This young woman, intelligent, fun-loving, and friendly, with an easy-going personality and joyful disposition, seemed to live a truly blessed life; and had lived nearly twenty-three years in the world with very little to distress or vex her. The eldest of three, she found herself removed from the home of her parents, out in this world on her own. Life, it seemed to her, had always been a happy place, and one that she was content with; that was until one day when this young woman realized that there was more- much more- and she was meant to search out these things. And thus began her search for unseen glories, a journey she continues to this day, and will continue on until the day she finds herself face to face with her Savior.
