Book Cover & Preview Text
As I was sitting on the back deck of my home, a thought came to my mind that I was to write a book. The book title I was given is “Life’s not Fair, but God is an Awesome God.” I was to do the cover in watercolors, soft pastels. The image that came to me was the universal don’t sign with the words
Life Is Ø Fair, but
God Is an Awesome God!
This was all given to me on July 15, 1999, which I just realized this morning was the eighteenth anniversary of my mother’s passing. She died on July 15, 1981. I never realized this fact until this morning. Was it she or God who was inspiring me to tell my story?

About the Book
Author Sam Sekimi has been twice married and twice divorced, and she sees the ends of her two marriages as her biggest failures. She believes the commitment to the meaning behind her marriage vows should be lived out until death. When this did not happen for her, her self-esteem and confidence suffered, and only with time, counseling, and the love of God could she recover.
Now, in Life’s Not Fair… But God Is Awesome, Sekimi presents her twenty-one-year journey through the events of her life and the stories she has created along the way. She hopes that through her experiences, challenges, successes, and failures, others may gain the encouragement and confidence they might be lacking. As Sekimi explores marriage, divorce, family, friendships, religion, faith, and death, she includes not only her personal narratives but also some of her original writing, along with lessons learned quotes from those who have touched her life.
In this inspirational collection of writing, one woman shares her life story with the goal of inspiring the faith and optimism of others.
