Then she uttered those now famous words, "You are just dealing with growing pains! Everybody has those. So, just relax."
Being able to put a name to it, to be able to call my difficulties growing pains, actually helped me immensely!
Just to be able to chill and put these feelings in their proper place and not worry about those things that are beyond my control. It was like a sickness.
When we don't know what's wrong with us, we worry more about it, but once the doctor can tell us what it is we have, it becomes less of a mystery and consequently becomes manageable.
Keep in mind I am no professional writer, so if you choose, I have little doubt you will find grammatically incorrect wording.
On the other hand, if you choose, you just may see and understand how God impacted my Life, not in a forceful way, but in a very subtle one.
I had to look, ask, then look again at what I was supposed to learn from whatever experience I had. This inquisitiveness of mine kept God in my thoughts, which after all, in my opinion, is all He asks of us—to keep Him close at all times.
So, in appreciation to Him, and in an attempt to be remembered by my family after I'm gone, I write this book.
