    We all go through difficult situations in our lives. Many of us experience self-esteem issues, relationship issues, and financial problems. We grieve the loss of loved ones, and deal with illnesses, and injury of ourselves or a loved one. No matter what we experience, God is always there. He is our creator and provider. He loves us and desires for His children to know Him more, to develop a relationship with Him. We can know our Lord more by reading the Bible, praying (talking to God, let Him know how you feel), and spending time with other believers. This book looks at self-esteem issues, forgiveness, grieving, prayer, breast cancer, and preparing for missions. It provides self-help suggestions. But whatever we go through, we need to surrender our struggles to God. He will see us through.

      When Donna Martin’s mother died, the floor of the Baptist church caved in. It was an apt metaphor for her grief. She fell into a depression. To hear her tell it, God answered her prayer by impelling her to open her heart by adopting a young brother a

      My prayer as you read this book is that you realize no matter what our struggle is, God is always with us. No matter our life choices, we can always ask for help or forgiveness. God will provide for us. God wants us to have a relationship with Him through prayer, talking with Him, reading His word, and enjoying the company of other believers. God can use you. He has provided each of us with certain talents, abilities, and gifts that can be used to help others in their time of need.

      For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster to give you a future and a hope (Jer. 29:11, NLT).

      Have you ever looked back on your life and wondered how you arrived here today? How you’ve made it through situations that you never thought you’d go through? Or things/situations that happened to your parents? For me it’s amazing, it is only through God that I am here today.

      My mother states that her parents thought she would die in infancy. Today, we would describe it as failure to thrive. My grandmother did everything the doctor told her, but nothing helped. They took pictures of mother so they would remember her. Grandmother decided to try cow’s milk, and amazingly, my mother started to gain weight. When the doctor visited (yes, once upon a time, doctors did make house calls), he was surprised. The doctor asked grandmother what she was doing. She responded that she was giving her baby cow’s milk.

      Are you trying to kill her?

      I’ve done everything you told me and nothing worked. I tried cow’s milk and see, she is doing well.

      God gives us answers in many ways. Do people actually hear God’s voice verbally? Some may, most people will receive thoughts, or God will have someone tell you what you need to know. God has also given His word, the Bible, to guide us. The Lord guided my grandmother to use what was on hand at the farm—cow’s milk. My mother is currently eighty-five years old.

      Mother worked as a telephone operator both before and after I was born. Mom states that the operators would check on the elderly in the community. If someone called and sound confused they would contact a family member to go check on the person. My grandmother and a lady named Mrs. Warner would watch me. When I was nine years old mom took a job at the drug store. The arrangement was she worked on days that dad was home. My father was a fireman and was at the fire department for twenty-four hours, then home; that way we always had a parent home. (Mother’s parents passed away before I was eight years old. My father’s parents had passed before I was born).

      Mom demonstrated her love in many ways. My first seizure occurred when I was three years old. I was hospitalized. My mother told me the staff encouraged her to go home for the night. She said she needed to be with me. They had her go to the waiting room for a while. I woke up and didn’t see her. I said, I want my mommy. She’s not here. I want my mommy - over and over, louder and louder. Finally, a nurse allowed my mother to stay the night with me. Mom said when I woke I would see her, be satisfied and return to sleep. Hospitals today recognize the security needs children have and provide nice recliners in patient rooms.

      When I was seven I became a brownie scout. Mom was the assistant leader with my aunt, then she became leader in my second year. The brownie troop met in our basement. I remember at Thanksgiving or Christmas time, mom had us make little gifts using toilet paper rolls. We wrapped green crepe paper over the rolls, filled the rolls with hard candies and tie a ribbon on it. Then we went to a nursing home to visit the clients and give them the candy gifts.

      Mom enjoyed sewing. One year she made costumes for the church’s Christmas program, shepherds, angels and wise men. She made crowns from plastic bottles and spray painted them. Our church used those costumes for many years.

      Mom went to work full-time when my brother started school. She worked night shift as the switchboard operator/admissions clerk at the local hospital.

      My father was a marine in World War II, fighting in the Pacific. One of the battles my father participated in was the Battle of Guadalcanal where 1,600 Americans were killed, 4,200 wounded, several thousand died from malaria and other tropical diseases (Encyclopedia Britannica).

      The Lord’s hand was upon my father, he contracted malaria and was in the hospital in Australia. A doctor told Dad that he only had a few days to live, he was asked, Would you be willing to try an experimental medicine?

      My father agreed. The medicine worked. He made it through the war, met my mother, and married. Dad was a firefighter for the federal government and a wonderful, caring father until he went home to be with the Lord at the age of sixty-one. I’m looking forward to seeing Daddy again!

      Without the Lord’s hand being upon my parents, protecting them, my brother and I wouldn’t be here. Thank you, Lord, for my parents. I believe my desire to help others was in large part due to my parents caring for and helping others, even in their career choices.

      My father was tall and kind. All of the neighborhood boys would try to dunk Dad in the community pool, but they never could. He was always there. Dad came home from work one day when I had a seizure at the age of nine. I felt better knowing nothing would hurt me because Daddy was there. It is the same type of faith and trust our Lord wants us to have in Him. He is Daddy! No matter what we go through, He is there. If someone hurts us physically or emotionally, tell God your feelings including anger toward Him. What is hard is that people have free will and some choose to hurt us; also, we’ve lived in a fallen
