This Journey called Life, is a compilation of poems that seek to make sense of the obstacles that we encounter in life, the questions we have, the people we encounter and the overall experiences we have in Life. Some of the poems are lighthearted in nature and will have you smiling, some will have you questioning while others will pick at your heartstrings just as in Life.

In the thick of modern life, we are tempted to forget what we are doing and why we are doing it. We are busy socializing, building careers, and looking for fun—but what’s it all for? The ancient concept of “vocation” has recently gained popularity as we return to questions about the meaning of life. Almost all religions include the idea that divine purposes should guide our lives; Christianity has particularly accented it. The God who called Israel and sent Jesus has something in mind for us. God’s call challenges us, but also opens us to the best sort of life imaginable. In Living Vocationally, the challenge and the joy of the called life is thoroughly explored. Part one considers the benefits of living vocationally, biblical traditions of call, and subsequent Christian understandings. Part two examines why vocation pertains not only to careers, but indeed touches every dimension of our lives and encompasses our full journey through life. Because every person’s life includes many callings, some very difficult, part three considers the virtues we need to live the called life well. Living Vocationally demonstrates why to have found a calling is to have found a good way to live.

An inspiring guide to finding your life’s purpose—what spiritual teachers call dharma—through mindfulness and self-exploration. Stephen Cope says that in order to have a fulfilling life you must discover the deep purpose hidden at the very core of your self. The secret to unlocking this mystery, he asserts, can be found in the pages of a two-thousand-year-old spiritual classic called the Bhagavad Gita—an ancient allegory about the path to dharma, told through a timeless dialogue between the fabled archer, Arjuna, and his divine mentor, Krishna. Cope takes readers on a step-by-step tour of this revered tale and highlights well-known Western lives that embody its central principles—including such luminaries as Jane Goodall, Walt Whitman, Susan B. Anthony, John Keats, and Harriet Tubman, along with stories of ordinary people as well. If you’re feeling lost in your own life’s journey, The Great Work of Your Life may help you to find and to embrace your true calling. Praise for The Great Work of Your Life “Keep a pen and paper handy as you read this remarkable book: It’s like an owner’s manual for the soul.”—Dani Shapiro, author of Devotion “A masterwork . . . You’ll find inspiration in these pages. You’ll gain a better appreciation of divine guidance and perhaps even understand how you might better hear it in your own life.”—Yoga Journal “I am moved and inspired by this book, the clarity and beauty of the lives lived in it, and the timeless dharma it teaches.”—Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart “A rich source of contemplation and inspiration [that] encourages readers . . . to discover and fully pursue their inner self’s calling.”—Publishers Weekly “Fabulous . . . If you have ever wondered what your purpose is, this book is a great guide to help you on your path.”—YogaHara

Before the death of her first child, she believed God planned and controlled everything in one's life. However, to her God is loving and caring not a punishing God or one to fear. Why would God take her first baby away from her when he was just two weeks old. After much grieving and soul searching, she changed her philosophy to although God is all powerful, he chooses not to use that power to interfere with nature. God might have a plan for your life. However, everything that happens to you is not God's plan or fault for he allows nature to exist as he created the world. In other words, illnesses and health problems are just a part of our world. God created a beautiful world but it is not perfect because God made people human not perfect. However, God is always there to help you through difficult times. Wiley's children invovement with drugs introduced her to Al-Anon. There she learned that worry is optional and one can experience negativity or anger without becoming negative or angry.

This is a one-of-a-kind, emotion-packed book which resonates with a broad range of readers. The book itself consists of three key parts; a poetry collection, short reflective pieces of writing and lastly self-affirmations. Each chapter is given a short introduction to allow the reader to gain a simple understanding before they dive deeper into the chapter itself. This book is especially dedicated to high school kids, young adults, and adults alike. The author recalls the transition from primary to high school; it was surely exciting but nerve-racking at the same time. Being a young adult with new responsibilities and perhaps a first-time job can be an overwhelming occurrence for some. Similarly, being an adult with much more life experience, roles and responsibilities can make a person feel burnt out and overburdened. As you make your way through this book, you will realise that you are not alone in how you feel. The poems initially reflect negative emotions such as stress, anxiety and feeling like a burden. Slowly the poems change to feelings of hope and healing followed by being grateful, exploring life and what an ideal home would look like. It is important that you understand that every human being will undergo both negative as well as positive life experiences and from both we can learn ‘life lessons. These lessons will shape the way we are as a person as well as our future. I hope reading this book brings you the calm that writing it brought to me. Happy reading.

Please remember this book is not about the doctrine of Acts 2:38, the oneness of God, holiness within, holiness with-out and separation from the world. Although, these things are absolutely essential to be saved, we still have to cope with life. The purpose of this book is to help Apostolic saints deal with everyday living. As the Apostle Paul said, ..".that which cometh upon me daily." It's called life. I hope these lessons bless you as you take this journey.

During the heydays of mineral and oil exploration from the 1970's to the early 1990's, work was plentiful and all one needed was the will and the physical and mental stamina to endure, and perhaps even enjoy, the hard work and often primitive conditions in remote camps.
