"At first I thought your book was going to be just another boring, useless, self-help book.
I was pleasantly surprised!"

Chapter 1: AWAKENING TO THE TRUTH
1.1 Life Is Difficult…but God!
(The undeserved grace, mercy, and favor that God pours out on His children)
Just when life feels under control, a storm hits.
Picture yourself driving down a beautiful country road on a sunny spring day. You reach to tune in your favorite radio station and it comes in crystal clear. But 10 minutes later, dark clouds appear on the horizon, and the radio snaps and crackles. Fortunately you’re still able to hear a weather alert about a tornado in the direction you’re driving! You quickly turn around and head for home. Before long the sun is shining again and you’re gleefully singing along with the music on the radio.
Are you “tuned in”? You might get tired of hearing me say it, but it’s my premise and experience that staying tuned in—tuned in to God—is the key to a meaningful and good life. When we seek God, pray and get to know Him personally, obey and follow His commands, we can live “in tune” with Him. When we are in tune with God we are more likely to make good decisions and thereby avoid a lot of stress and anxiety associated with bad choices. Living in conscious, constant communion with our Creator helps us gain wisdom, insight, and reverence for life that in turn will shape our every choice, both big and small, along the way. You can’t allow the static of the world’s pressures to distract you from God’s voice.
Seek to understand what God is trying to tell you through your challenging circumstances, the people He uses as teachers in life, and the body He created for you. The challenging circumstances in our lives are not haphazard, disjointed events that we fall in and out of. Neither are the people in our lives. Ponder and you may be able to recognize patterns that may be continually repeating themselves. The story line and actors might change but the scenario is familiar if we slip out of denial and connect the dots.
So what are the life lessons? The main life lesson is that we must die to self in order to find life in God. We will explore this in depth in this chapter. Most other lessons will stem from this and will include lessons in our honesty, in our ability to forgive others, in our ability to love others, in our ability to not judge others, and in our ability to admit wrongs. Is everything in life a lesson? No. There are also life reminders, life tests, and spiritual warfare. There may be reminders about the consequences of our bad choices, reminders about the fragility of life here on earth, and reminders that we are not in control of most variables other then our choice of how we react and respond to people and circumstances in our life. Then there are the tests to see if we have learned the life lessons, the tests to see if we have truly died to our self, and the tests to see if we have our priorities in life correct. And finally there is spiritual warfare for our heart, mind, and present peace/joy. This staying tuned in also applies to our bodies. Health issues and chronic symptoms are also trying to get our attention, calling us to dig deeper into understanding the root of the problem. Learn everything you can about your body and how it works (see Chapter 4). Pay attention to your body’s warning signals—an ounce of prevention is truly better than a pound of cure!
