Preface

This blog will be written from personal experience.  I will be adding to it as I am able.  It's all in my head and heart. I have no degrees in psychology or human resources  This blog has been lived.  If you have had awful stuff happen to you and you don’t know how to cope or what to do next, or how to stop being scared, then this blog might help.

 Because I’ve been there too.

I speak of God in this book.  I want to make it very clear that when I say “God”, I mean a higher power.  My aim here is not to advance or preach the cause of any organised religion or faith.  Like people who attend AA, it’s good to have the assistance of a higher power when we are grappling with very complex and painful issues. 

I also need to be true to myself.  So I’m telling you that for me, that higher power has become very real to me through the presence of Jesus Christ and his “rules for living”. But if you have had a negative experience with the organised church, then this concept of God might be painful for you.  You may find a Buddhist God or a Hindu God more approachable.  If you are more comfortable with a “creator God” or a “Shepherd God”, then stay with that. I urge you to entrust yourself to a higher power;  the great Being who is the Alpha and Omega;  the intelligence behind this beautiful planet and all it’s wonders.

For me, the loving friendship of Christ has brought me through some of the worst experiences a human being can encounter.  But the purpose of this blog is not to preach at you, or convert you.  The purpose of this blog is simply to help you.
