God is in the Journey - E-book - ePub

Beginning with her childhood, the author traces her life in a strong middle-class family and in a historic Episcopal Church in Southeastern Virginia focusing on her and her family's faithful membership in the church and what she did and did not learn there. In this short eBook, you will walk with her through her journey with God, even when she didn't know that he was there. You will experience her mid-30's awakening and her discovery that God does indeed walk with us through our lives and how this impacted the rest of her life and the direction it would take.
"God is in the Journey" is a prequel to her memoir, "Lady Father, " which chronicles her journey to priesthood in the Episcopal Church. It is also filled with anecdotes - both funny and outrageous - as she finds her way through the ordination process of the 1980's when women were not welcome in the all-male Episcopal priesthood and her subsequent ministries in a church that was not quite ready for a woman in priestly garments.
It is a testament to the care and support by her two Bishops who overcame their opposition to women's ordination as they watched this determined woman pursue her call by God to be a priest. It is a testament to the many friends and family members, as well as church members, who accepted her and encouraged her in her journey. It is also a testament to the strength and determination of one woman who followed her heart and the call of God on her soul through a harrowing but also fulfilling journey with God who was with her every step of the way.
It is a compelling read and an enjoyable ride and the prequel, "God is in the Journey, " is an engaging look into the heart and mind of the girl who became a woman with God on her side, gently pushing her onto the right road - His road that would lead to priesthood in His church!
