      Preface

      It’s your life was written to motivate and encourage you in such a way that most people will not talk face to face to you about. Most young people would like to talk to someone about some of the things they are experiencing and the pressures they face on a daily basis.

      When there is no one to turn to, especially at home, and you know that what you are seeing and experiencing is not right; lift your head high and look beyond each situation regardless of who and how old you are. The answers to most of our problems generally start with a small prayer. I want you to believe in yourself and don’t let anyone discourage you from attaining your goals and dreams. In most cases we expect things to change while we sit around and do nothing. Most change will come when we decide to stand for what we believe in and maintain our standards in life.

      If you have never tried praying or reading the Bible, take this moment and give it a try. God hears our prayers and He understands our tears for He promises never to leave us nor forsake us, all you have to do is trust and believe Him. Parents, take time to talk to your child or children and answer their questions truthfully. I pray that this book will be an encouragement to many, to bring comfort, peace of mind and uplifting of the spirit.

      Life is a wonderful thing. When was the last time that you stood and looked at the stars or gazed at the moon? Have you ever stood and looked at a flowing stream, a beautiful sunset or an array of beautiful flowers in a garden? Take time today and plan a day away from the hussle and bussle of everyday life. Go to the beach or eat at the park. Take time for yourself and enjoy the beautiful things that life has to offer.

      SPECIAL THANKS

      To my heavenly father who through the inspiration of His word I was able to write this book.

      My wife and children for the sacrifices

      they have had to make.

      My mother and father for guidance and for bringing

      me up in a spiritual way.

      To my brothers and sisters and friends

      for their support and prayers as I went through

      a time of hardship.

      I can remember when I was a young man growing up I used to enjoy myself in such a way that it was hard not to be laughing or smiling most of the times. I am still an active member of the church and greatly involved with its young people: we still sing songs that touch and inspire the heart. I was taught to fear God and to observe the signs of the times and I have used these principles and teachings as a guide for my life.

      Things and time changes, and as we go through life journey we are faced with circumstances that we have to deal with, one way or another, whether we like it or not.

      There is a way that seems right to a man but the end thereof is death. (Prov.1:12) We have become a nation that tends not to listen to anything that anyone has to say to us. Yes, we are
