    About this ebook

    This book started as an article I wrote to our local newspaper in 2007 titled What I Believe the newspaper was asking people s to write what they believe, at the time I was a member of a church group and I tried to ask the members to write something that they think or believe we should do to better our group. Nobody listened to me so I decided to write my own belief in life, I sent it and early in 2008 I received a call from the newspaper asking if they could take my picture for the article. The editor after reading and editing my work gave the heading Understanding Gods Ways and it was published in May 2008. The heading inspired me to continue to help me, guide and protect me. I hope after reading my story you will be inspired to write what you believe and help you live what you believe.

      Understanding God’s Ways

      Too often we don’t see the beauty around us.

      Believe, dream, will… and put it in the hands of God.

      Hold an image of the life you want,

      and that image will become fact.

      What I Believe

      I believe in God. I believe in many things. I believe that all of us have a purpose in life. I believe that tomorrow will be a better day than today.

      I believe that, other than oneself, no one else is responsible for one’s success or failure, happiness or sadness. I believe that God did not give us these sufferings—we chose them.

      I believe in God, who sent each one of us down here to this world for a purpose. I believe that I was given to my parents not to be a burden, but to be taught the difficulties of life.

      I believe that I was born the way I was because He wants me to understand people with disabilities—the weak like me—and understand the people around me, especially the children whose parents could not afford the things my parents were able to give me and my siblings.

      I remember my walk home from church as an eight-year-old child. I needed to share my bag of popcorn with some kids in my neighborhood because they were looking at me as if they were asking for some. That night, my father told me that someone in the neighborhood told him what I did. Thinking that I would be scolded, I cried because I did not know how to reason out. He told me he was proud of me because I learned to share, to be generous toward others. That time, I learned the meaning of sharing and generosity and earned the respect of my parents.

      I believe that we learned about sharing and generosity when we went to school, when we needed to share school supplies and books with others. As we aged, we learned about others and started forgetting each other and ourselves. We learned to observe and understand that some children were not as lucky as ourselves.

      My parents believed in education. It was important, the only wealth that they left us. They believed that with education one could do anything and go anywhere. My father, a prominent individual in our community, offered scholarships to public grade school graduates to go to high school as the government was only responsible for free education for children in elementary school. He sent a lot of children to high school and college, including me and some of my
