Dedication

This book is dedicated to anyone who has felt helpless at any time in their life’s journey;

For anyone who has searched for the answers to life’s toughest questions.

Beneath the Rubbles

Jesus’ last words to me, "I give you love and that’s all I have to give,

but for love to function and grow, love has to connect to love.

Love is a commitment that starts with self and then it must spread to broken places

where love fails to exist

and then love will grow and it will spread like wildfire and then there will be an abundance of love in the world.

Leaders must know this. Leaders must soften their hearts to love.

You are a leader, now lead with love. That’s all I have and that’s all you’ll get, and that’s all you need."

This book is a practical journey to self-enlightenment.

Introduction

You may ask yourself, Why should I read this book?

To answer this, the book you are reading consists of one year of inspirational writings.

For one full year I brought every chaotic thought to Christ. Every moment that brought me discomfort I brought to Christ and asked questions and received answers. For one full year every morning I renewed my mind, my spirit, and my soul to experience the challenges of the new day without the contamination of the past. Each morning, I commenced with prayers, silence and deep meditation.

Can you imagine how many issues we deal with every day? Can you imagine capturing each of those issues for 365 days and being able to look back a year later and see the benefits of your struggles? There is a saying that what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger, and I believe reading this book will surely make you stronger.

Every response to the questions I’ve asked, I’ve written just the way I heard it. I have not always been consistent in my writings, so there are some responses that I’ve lost. Luckily those I’ve captured are sufficient to blast you into the mode of super growth and help you become an over-comer willing to live life to your fullest and explore your true potential.

If you want to become an over-comer and conquer issues such as spiraling emotions, lust, and temptation, read my book. If you want to overcome an addiction and regain your spiritual peace, read my book. If you ever catch yourself judging others, read on. If fear has become your security blanket, or you’re stuck in a dead-end job, read my book. If there is a quiet cry of uncertainty due to medical bills, utility bills, car notes, mortgages, rising fuel, and food costs, read my book. If you are bludgeoned by bill collectors and bank overdraft fees, read my book.

If you feel burnt out, or like failure, or are wrapped up in self-pity, read my book. If you feel like you live in a troubled world with news of terrorism, suicide bombers, political upheavals, collapsing economies, abortion, gay marriage, racism, classism, prejudice, and other hot topic issues, then read my book. If you work in an environment where you deal with angry people all day, where each Monday leaves you wondering if you are going to make it to Friday, read my book.

If you feel like you always find a way to mess things up, read my book. If you ever had dreams of becoming rich and famous, read on. If your ego has ever been so badly bruised that you want to disappear into a dark corner, then read my book. If you are on a journey to achieve peace of mind and discover the real you with all your potential, then you must read my book.

You see, I was all of these things, all in one year. But God delivered me into a better place. God gave me peace of mind, and fulfilled my dreams of becoming a published author.
