Waking Up in Heaven: A True Story of Brokenness, Heaven, and Life Again by Crystal McVea and Alex Tresniowski is a really heart warming testimonial about how it was in Heaven as she had experienced being dead and coming back to live.

Many times we really wonder how it is for us after we die.Is there really a place called Heaven? Does GOD really exist?

In this book Crystal shares with the readers her personal experience of dying and coming back to live in 2009. She also shares her painful childhood memories of having suffered through sexual abuse, witnessing her mother go through physical and emotional abuse by her step father, teenage pregnancy, abortion and a whole slew of bad decisions.

Throughout her life prior to her encounter with GOD she has been questioning about the presence of GOD and why he hasn’t been there for her (that is what she though). Being “reborn” she found out her true calling in life to be GOD’s vessel. She was to be his spokesperson about GOD’s love and use her personal life story and experiences as her testimonial.

Through her sharing and walk closer with GOD after death, she has managed to touch many other people and  they were “healed” after being able to open up  and share their own stories of hurt which they had experienced.

My thoughts

I found this book very touching and captivating. Crystal really went through “hell and back” during her growing up years and only through GOD was she able to find her peace and motivation in life.  GOD works in mysterious ways and sometimes we are unable to understand why he sets us such difficult challenges in our lives and wish to throw in the towel.

I personally have had questions about GOD and his existence and had wondered too if GOD was really there for me at times. Reading about Crystal’s journey with GOD has really helped strengthen my personal conviction in Christ being our savior.

Weekend Reflections: Gaining Peace

At the beach

At the beach

Sometimes our life gets all stormy. Life throws us a curve ball which hits smack in the stomach. It makes you feel sick in the stomach and really hope that you could have a magic wand and turn things around in an instance. You get uptight and edgy and feel extremely stressed up as things are not going they way you expect them to be.

At times like this that one needs to pause and take a break. You need to re-assess the situation at hand to see why the methods of application hasn’t achieved the desired results. Do you need to take  a new approach or apply a tweak to your current methods? To continue to pursue it or to let go?

Choices and decision are never easy. With 50% chance of failure and 50% chance of succeeding. The results can go anywhere and after running around in a full circle you may end up back at Stage One.

Sometimes we give up even before trying as we find that it is getting too complicated for us and we don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. Our minds get clouded and we may not be able to think straight.

Turning to GOD is the best choice for one in this situation. Looking to him and entrusting ourselves not only free us from our burdens but helps us to calm down and think rationally.  Getting back the inner peace which we need will help restore the order that we need in our lives.

How do you go about Restoring the Calm
