Journey

There is nothing easy about writing a book nor being a Christian! Peopleoften think being a Christian means you do everything right or Christiansthink they are better than others that a Christian's faith is never tested - andthat is so far from the truth!This book reminded me with gentle tugs of my heart that people are humanand we all have a choice in life as we go through this journey. It's just a matterof trusting God during the journey. We can choose how we treat ourselveshow we treat others and how we let others treat us. We can choose how weprocess internalize and cause happiness and pain to ourselves and to others.And we can choose what our purpose is and what our purpose is going to be.Now that does not mean we plan and God just gives. Maybe God watchesand laughs if we try.In fact just the thought that this book was supposed to be finished 2 yearsago is humorous. But simply put everything happened on God's time even ifwe do not know the reason. The authors have endured pain and still findingtheir purpose with each new day they are blessed to have. And with muchprayer thankfulness and guidance they continue to get through their journeys- and won't complain!So as you take the time to read what their hearts and minds decided to share- judge not yet ye be judged. Simply read for enjoyment laugh because whowould have thought and discover their Journey their Pain and their Purpose!With much love through this process - It is done!Yolanda Malone-Bates
