The Journey

Beschreibung

The Journey is a series of devotionals that guide us through our lives. As we follow its path, we are reminded of many experiences we have been through, some which were welcomed and some we would rather have avoided. The Journey reveals life in all its dimensions, its high points and low points, its victories and defeats and everything in between. As we meditate on biblical truth, we find a God who has directed our lives and who is ever present with us. Sometimes we see Him obviously, and at other times He seems strangely silent, if not absent. The Journey helps us to understand this apparent contradiction by teaching us to look through the eyes of faith. Meditating on these devotionals assures us that our Father shares all the events of our pilgrimage. He is there when we enter the first grade, and He accompanies us when we graduate. He shares our rejoicing at the birth of our first child, and He rejoices with us as we see our children grow into mature adults. We are reminded that God delights in seeing us happy and that He provides good things for us to enjoy. On the other hand, He is there during the stress of an uninvited hardship. Reading The Journey will help you to know how to navigate through the winding path of life by living by God's unfailing, eternal principles. The Journey will teach you how to live life skillfully.

DONALD GRIFFIN was born in a small South Georgia town. He is a seasoned businessman with a heart for writing and teaching the Word of God. Although his parents had very little formal education, they instilled in him three very important priorities for life: the Bible, prayer, and church. As a result, he accepted Christ at the early age of twelve. At the age of seventeen, Don joined the United States Air Force with the intention of seeing the world. Instead, he was stationed in South Carolina, less than three hundred miles from his home, and stayed there until his discharge. Don remained in South Carolina for the next ten years. During that time, he married, fathered three sons, and became a successful farmer of more than fifteen hundred acres of land. He and his family attended a small Methodist church where he taught a young couples' class and filled the pulpit when the pastor was away. Characterized by a lifestyle of seeking both the trappings of the world and the things of the Kingdom, his life began to slowly unravel. The cost was high, and at the age of thirty-three, Don had lost his marriage, his sons, and his business. He decided to return to his roots in South Georgia and found the long trip back home to be one of the most lonely, heartbreaking times of his life. Back home in Georgia, Don rededicated his life to the Lord Jesus but struggled to restart his business career. It was during this time of his life that Don met a beautiful young lady named Sarah Penny Mixon who owned and operated a very successful dance studio. Penny was also a casualty of divorce but was blessed to have exited her broken marriage with a precious daughter. Don and Penny soon married, and two years later, Penny gave birth to their son. Don continued to struggle in his efforts to establish his own business but rediscovered that God has a way of placing the right people into one's life when their trust is in Him. A successful insurance businessman came into his life and helped him establish an insurance agency of his own. Griffin Insurance Agency in Douglas, Georgia, was born. The early years were very difficult, but Don and Penny had learned that tough times have the power to build you up or tear you down. After much prayer, Penny made a decision to leave her own business and help her husband complete his dream. Hard work and perseverance have rewarded them with a very successful Insurance Agency. Don is now semi-retired and enjoys a great relationship with the love of his life, Penny, and all of their children. He is a living testimony that God can take a broken life and put it back together. Don and Penny are active in their church and enjoy teaching and ministering the uncompromised Word of God into the lives of His people.
