Book excerpt: On the Way There: Making the Most of Life's Journey Dr. Mary E. Adams Many people, for the most part, are looking for that special place or a special someone to help make their lives more meaningful and enjoyable. Although these are noble and worthwhile feats, so many things can happen along the way to that special place, called destiny. Things such as: delays, detours, distractions, diabolical schemes, etc., can cause a traveler on life's journey to lose focus or get stuck in the messy middle of adverse circumstances. Life is a journey, not a destination that often involves grappling with twists, turns, ups and downs along the way. Based upon a biblical worldview, the trip can be enjoyable and successful if a decision is made to obey Divine instructions for making the most out of every experience. Despite all of life's struggles, everyone has an opportunity for greatness and to enjoy life's journey; however, this is contingent, to a great extent, upon the willingness to adhere to Divine precepts, principles and patterns. This book is based upon lessons learned on the way toward attaining some measure of prophetic destiny. Dr. Mary E. Adams is Senior Pastor- MT Zion Cathedral- Fredericksburg, VA.
