This book is God inspired. Written based on a life of needing to do things on my own with no help from others, since I was raised that way. After many years of falling from bad choices I started seeking God when I was invited to church through a few acquaintances. Through the seeking process things started to improve. Then through hard times I drew closer to God and God gave me dreams and talked to me in different ways, one time being audible. I felt led to share these awesome blessings with others because people do not realize that God does have time for them. He actually wants to spend time with them and help them.
