Durant Publishing Logo. The logo concists of the outline of the letter 'D' in black, with black and white ray lines in the center portion of the letter. Centered at the point where the rays meet is a large, white cross. Under this icon appears the word, 'Curant', and under that the word, 'Publishing'.This book is a memoir. As such, it reflects the author's recollection of experiences and events. Some names, locations, and identifying characteristics have been altered, and any resulting resemblance to any person — living or dead — is coincidental and unintentional. Dialogue and events have been recreated from memory, and in some chapters have been condensed to convey the essence of what was said or what took place. Timelines for various scenes have been compressed.

Dedication
Angie, it has taken me all night to find the words I want to say to you. Let me start by saying, Thank You for being this amazing woman that God loves me enough to bring into my life.
I think our friendship started long before you and I knew it ever existed. When I realized what was happening, it scared me, and I just wanted to completely back off. I didn’t want any new friends, and I didn’t want to get close to anyone because they weren’t genuine at all, they just wanted to hold on to my coat tails for the ride. You, sweetheart, changed my life. But the most incredible thing is that you also changed me.
This weekend has been the hardest for me since I was released from my therapy sessions, because when anything would occur, I would just go to therapy and talk about it. But this time I felt like a sinking ship that wasn’t going to emerge back on top of the water. But I fought and fought until you, Angie, made me realize that no matter how damn crazy my life is, you STILL CARE!
I’m not sure you realize the magnitude and the influence you have in my life. I don’t ask for anything, and the one thing I don’t do is ask for help from anyone. I think you know this about me, among other things as well, but you just continue to be the loving friend you know I need. The one thing that you said to me yesterday, and I still don’t realize it, was Tammie do you realize how many people love you and admire you?
I really don’t focus on it at all, I just do things from my heart. When I post certain things on social media, it’s not to inspire and motivate everyone else. I do it for myself, because I need to keep telling myself that I have to be strong and just focus on God each and every day.
But here is the thing; I’ve made my decision to accept who I am and embrace it, and just realized that God gave me this gift to use in the most spiritual and positive way. And I will do just that. But I wouldn’t have come to this decision if it wasn’t for you, Angie. Your thoughtfulness, your compassion, and your love for me shows me that if my friend can do all these wonderful things for me, I can give it back to her as well.
I admire you so much, and I don’t want you to worry about me. I’m going to be just fine because I have the most amazing friend named Angie, who doesn’t know she is my inspiration to never give up on anything.
I love you, sweetheart, and thank you for opening up your heart to me and letting me become a true friend to you as you are to me. Angie, this book is dedicated to you….Squad Over Everything
.
The Lord said to my Lord, sit in the place of honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies, making them a footstool under your feet.
The Lord will extend your powerful Kingdom from Jerusalem: you will rule over your enemies.
When you go to war, your people will serve you willingly.
You are arrayed in holy garments, and your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew.
The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow: You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
The Lord stands at your right hand to protect you. He will strike down many kings when his anger erupts.
He will punish the nations and fill their lands
