Dedication

Old age may have its limitations and challenges, but in spite of them, our latter years can be some of the most rewarding and fulfilling of our lives.

-Billy Graham

I dedicate this book to The Almighty God of Israel, all my family, loved ones, friends and supporters.

Special dedication to Edwin who has been resting in heaven since 2005. When he was alive, he always tried to encourage me to pursue a rap music career. Before and after his passing we both never imagined I would one day publish songs on over 100 music platforms.

If he could come down and visit for a week he would be blown away. More so when I tell him I’ve published books too. Can’t wait to hear you tell me, I’m proud of you primo.

Lastly, I dedicate this book to you (the reader). I hope this helps you in your journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in.

~ Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Introduction

This has been one of the most challenging projects I have ever worked on. It’s not easy to write content that displays my past pain, challenges, and mistakes. It’s not easy establishing and maintaining a relationship with God. In most cases, we must get through so many obstacles before and after we open our arms to Him. I have not enjoyed many of the roads I have had to walk through, but it has helped me become who I am today.

Who am I? By no means, an expert on the topic. You’re probably more qualified to instruct on the subject than me. I am simply offering some of my truths not only for the good of others, and my loved ones. In hopes that books like this will encourage positive discussions between those who are close to me, when I finally go home. Unfortunately, I have decided to remain officially anonymous to avoid issues in my current or future profession.

I am going to get intimately personal. The hope is to encourage the reader in his or her journey with God. This book is not meant to substitute or to replace the help from a legal, medical or mental health professional. If you ever have suicidal thoughts, it's always best to call your nearest suicide hotline or mental health professional.

Lastly, the quotes and prayers included are not designed to be concrete in your life. They are meant to be an inspiration, examples, or a template for your use. Feel free to use them as you feel best fit for you. The hope is that you will develop your own which are more applicable to you. Any suggestions or tips I make are from the perspective of a friend. Nothing in this book should be taken as overriding legal or medical advice from professionals in their respective fields.

Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you;

he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

Psalm 55:22 ESV

Chapter 1

The Rattlesnake

Security is mostly a superstition.

It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

-Helen Keller

It is reported that rattlesnakes can be deadly and belong to the viper family. There also seems to be more rattlesnake species in Arizona than anywhere else. This state is neighbor to San Luis, Sonora. It has been said be the locals that if the hot weather doesn’t kill you, one of these serpents will.

While they are not considered to be nocturnal, they can be quite active in the evening when the sun begins to go down.

Once bitten, the venom takes seconds to travel from their retractable fangs, through your skin, and into your bloodstream. You may experience symptoms immediately, and eventually get worse.

Rattlesnake bites may cause extreme pain and swelling at the location of the bite, including nausea, excessive bleeding, swelling in the mouth and throat, making it difficult to breathe. They have been known to also cause lightheadedness, drooling, and even collapse and shock in rare cases. For an infant they are most certainly lethal.

On a beautiful hot afternoon in San Luis, Rio Colorado, Mexico in 1973 there was a little chubby boy sitting in his highchair eating some baby food while his mother was cleaning the kitchen counters. When a rattlesnake made its way into the home. The baby was verbally making sounds and kicking the highchair and the venomous serpent could sense the vibrations.

At this moment this was the first time that the serpent had seen a baby up close and was not sure what it was. When the mother of the child turned around, she noticed the movement below near the highchair. After two to three seconds, she realized that there was a snake in the kitchen. Horrified and in shock it took her about another 3 seconds to react when she finally decided to do one of the most heroic things that she was able to do. She immediately ran out of the house.

The serpent could sense the tall human with long brown hair run out of the home, then it began to feel relief because it knew, it was just it, and the tiny human. The limbless devil knew once it consumed the blood of this child that it would go to sleep for days, since they only eat about every two weeks. As the mother alerted a neighbor of the emergency, the rattlesnake drew closer to the baby eager to secure its body on a limb and sink its teeth into little human flesh.

As the mother and the neighbor ran back to the home the snake made its way under the highchair preparing to strike. The brave neighbor entered the area while the frantic mother waited outside. Praying to God that her baby was not hurt when she suddenly heard the baby scream. Tears flooded her eyes as she almost began to scream but something stopped her. The neighbor walked out with the snake cut into two pieces. Lucky for the mother the man had a shovel and the infant was unharmed. The baby screamed when he saw the man running with the shovel. You're probably wondering how I know this story so well. The baby was me.

"The devil ain’t nothing but a but a snake,

thing about snakes is they got no arms,

ain't got no fee, well that's because

Satan’s been disarmed

and defeated."
