      Acknowledgements

      When I first felt the desire to write this book, I was unsure of how it would be received. While this is my second time going through this process, it feels like it’s the first time. Just as before, I am thankful for the prayers, words of encouragement and the kind reviews of family and friends. I thank God for the opportunity to do what it is that I do. There are many who support me throughout the writing process as I work to bring this and other projects to the light.

      I thank God for the opportunity He has afforded me with to share through writing. Writing allows me to minister to those I may never see in person. I give all praise unto you Lord for choosing me for this work and for this time. Thank you for providing all of my needs according to your riches in glory through Christ Jesus. I pray this work blesses the lives of all those that come in contact with it.

      Chapter 1

      Where Am I?

      I enjoy driving, especially for long distances. It is therapeutic and the sightseeing is often the highlight of the trip for me. In most instances, when I set out to drive long distance, I have to ensure that I have all necessities in place. Before I take my trip, there is a routine that I commit to. Days before my departure, I have my vehicle serviced at the dealership. They check my tire pressure; tread levels, braking system, fluids and the condition of the filters and lighting system. Having all these things checked puts me at ease because now I know that the car is in tip-top shape for the trip. Now, I’m ready to travel.

      Not too long ago, my family and I took a summer vacation to visit family and friends in South Carolina. The drive from our home in suburban Detroit took about eleven and a half hours. Despite the time, we were just excited about seeing our family and friends. With the car cleared by the mechanic and the gas tank on full, we packed the trunk with our luggage and belongings and buckled ourselves into our seats. We whispered a few lines of prayer for God’s protection and then I grabbed my mobile phone to access the navigation application. Looking to my co-pilot for the address to my family’s house, I looked down at my phone to see two options for inputting the address:

      Speak Destination

      Type Destination

      As often as I had used the navigation app on my phone, this was the first time I noticed these two options. I had the opportunity to speak my destination or to write it. It dawned on me in that moment that just as my navigation device provided me with those options, life has as well. Essentially, the navigational system was asking me, Where are you going? I had the choice to speak it or write it.

      But what is our destination? Our destination is our purpose, target, goal, and intention for our lives.

      In the aforementioned instance, my family and I intended to have the car checked by the mechanic, load the luggage and buckle ourselves in to reach a particular destination, which was South Carolina. What is your destination? As you speak and write, are you looking and keeping in mind your destination? A wise man once said, "…for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks." (Luke 6:45 N KJV) Even more, he said, For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.(Proverbs 23:7) Therefore, we can conclude that if I can hear your spoken words, I can see what’s in your heart. Even more, if you show me your heart, I can show you your thoughts. If you show me your thoughts, I can show you your world.

      For most of us, when it comes to figuring out where to go in life, we never stop to consider the words we have spoken and written. The things we have spoken and written frame the lives we shall live. But that’s just one side of this double-sided coin.

      After I was given the address and I typed it into the system, there appeared another appeal. The app requested our
