Excerpt
Don't Be Afraid: He's Preparing You!
"This is not happening! There's been a mistake!" These were some of my thoughts as I sat in the doctors' office on Saturday, October 17, 1987. I felt like the devil had slapped me in the face and said, "Surprise!! You thought you were going to be happy! Surprise!! Who told you that you were going to get by that easy? I told you as a child, that you'd never be anything, you'd never have anything and no one would ever want you! Surprise!! Surprise!!"
A visit to an ophthalmologist revealed Bilateral Retinoblastoma, which means that my 10-month old son had cancerous tumors in the retinas of both of his eyes. I had just begun to live, so I thought.
I was twenty years old, had been married going on two years, and what I always wanted was growing inside of me, a baby boy! I remember how happy I was throughout my pregnancy. Especially after I got over the morning sickness and the migraine headaches! I’d watch closely as my stomach moved up, down, and all around as my baby became more and more active. My stomach expanded far beyond the waistband of most of my pants and skirts. But that was fine with me, because I felt privileged to have a life living and moving around inside of me. I greatly anticipated his arrival.
Hi Dr. Toni,
I had no idea that you had been through something like that. Wow! I was very touched by your story. I cannot even imagine how difficult those first few years would've been with what your son went through. Only God can walk you through that kind of thing. I love reading people's stories and hearing about their faith walk. Yours truly inspired me!
Thanks, Margaret
Dr. Toni is someone I proudly call friend... dearest friend and confidant. From the moment I met her, I was drawn to her. She represents to me a strong and powerful woman of God! I believe this book is from the innermost deepest part of her being. She poured her soul into the pages of this book. Her very life is contained within this book which is why we can only be healed, delivered, set free, encouraged, and built-up. This book is a testimony to what God has done and can do again for you and me.
What you read about Kevin is already a miracle and to see the self-sufficient young man he has become is another miracle. His life has been one of miracles and he has more to come his way. God is preparing him for greater things!
May God bless every page, every book, and every reader who opens it and enters into these lives. As Dr.Toni has said, "Don't Be Afraid". As He has prepared Dr.Toni, He will prepare you too through her experiences.

"Don't Be Afraid: He's Preparing You!"is truly inspiring.It transforms your perspective of those who are visually impaired. Little Kevin's life proves that blindness is just an inconvenience as you travel through his life from a baby to a strong young man. Dr.Toni takes you through her journey of motherhood: The seasons and trials of a young wife and mother to a mature and virtuous woman of God. You will see the new world that God introduces to her through her son, Little Kevin. It tells how God blessed her with so much support through family and friends. This book illustrates that whatever we go through, if we just let go and open our lives for his will, He will blow our minds with a world filled with people who will make a major impact in our lives. As this book is titled, God is preparing us for our divine purpose.
