Some people are born with maps.
Others are born with missions.

And then there are those of us born into neighborhoods
where survival becomes our first education. We didn’t learn
courage from fairy tales. We learned it from watching
mothers stretch groceries for another week.

We learned faith from grandmothers who prayed over empty
refrigerators. We learned endurance from fathers who
worked double shifts—or from the pain of growing up
without one.
Every neighborhood has its own sea.
Some seas are made of water.

Ours are made of violence, poverty, addiction, broken
systems, and broken promises.

This book is for every person who has ever felt lost but
refused to stay lost. Your journey home isn’t about an
address.
It’s about becoming who God created you to be.
