Synopsis "Where Your Journey Begins: No matter what stage of life you're in, He's waiting for you to to take this journey with Him (in English)"
Have you ever slowed down in life enough to shut every other distraction out and really think about where you are today, at this point in your life? Is it where you thought you would be at this stage, at whatever age you are right now. Whether it be 25, 33, 46, 55, 70.... And if you have taken this momentary escape from your life with all your distractions and you were able to shut the world out to focus on your life, did you think about where you are with your 5 year plan after college or if you've met your 10 year goal that you set for yourself. Or even if you look as good as you hoped you would for your 20 year class reunion... Are you where you thought you'd be? Or did you realize that you are nowhere near where you wanted to be by now. Did panic set in or that overwhelming feeling of "oh no, it's too late" and disappointment sneaks in. Has the devil been trying to convince you that you've wasted to much of your life to get back what's important? And after coming to terms with the years you feel you've wasted and getting a grip on your panic and disappointment, did a feeling well up from your soul that spoke with the most volume... almost a scream, saying "look at all the years you have wasted being separated from God". Or maybe your still small voice from your soul sounded more like "look how far away from Him you have let yourself get". Even something along the lines of "look how far away your relationship with Him is from where you thought it would be by now". If so, you are not alone! For many years those very phrases where the things the devil would literally fill my head with to the point that it was almost like a scream coming from inside me. I would literally go to bed each night with an overwhelming fear that I would die in my sleep and not ever see Heaven because I had not done everything exactly right each day so God would not allow me to spend eternity with Him. I would take "an inventory of my life" so to speak each night of all the things I hadn't done. And each time I would realize that the relationship I had wanted with the Lord was nothing even remotely close to what I had. And I would instantly get that overwhelming feeling of panic that would quickly turn into disappointment and fear before it would then go into frustration with myself for letting so much time go by without changing my life or getting "right" with Him (whatever that means). Don't get me wrong, I always had the best of intentions when it came to my walk with the Lord. I just wasn't the best at the follow-through and I didn't truly know what the right walk would look like. I was so over-run by the devil's voice filling my head with distractions that some days I didn't even give a passing thought to God. But not only that, I wasn't even aware at the time that there was a difference in following the law of routine to "supposedly" please God and actually just having a real relationship with Him. I didn't know that all He "required" of me was to talk to Him, to listen to Him, and to show His love. Once I knew to do that, everything else would slowly fall into place. He would walk me "personally" through everything He wanted me to know and to do. Without judgment, without fear, and without condemnation. It was such a freeing thing for me. If you are at a place similar to where I was this book will free you from the law of fear, and panic, and regret; and walk closer to Him than you ever knew you could, not to mention doing it in overwhelming victory over the devil and his whiles. You will never again let the things of this world distract you from the One who created this world for your joy and His glory. You will truly understand what it means to have a relationship with God. Don't let the devil hold you back any longer and continue making excuses to you. Step up and make the best change you will ever make in your life. The one that puts the Lord in first place and "self" in the backseat. Your journey begins
