Journey On!

Life is one challenge after another. You're weary. How do you keep moving forward? Have you seen God fulfill His promises? Do you believe He can do it again? Each one of your challenges is transforming you into God's image. As we take this journey together, you will experience growth when you stay connected to God and trust He is working in your difficult circumstances. When you allow God to refine your rough edges and withstand attacks from enemies and your own fears, you're growing. When you reach out to comfort and support others who are struggling, your care is evidence of your growth. When you reflect and recognize how many of God's gifts are connected to the challenges you've faced, your growth will be undeniable. What you learn from each challenge is preparing you for Heaven! Grab the backpack you filled with essential gear in Challenges Won't Stop Me. You'll need that gear as we continue our journey of overcoming and thriving. On this second half of our journey, you will continue creating your interactive survival guide. You'll need your colored pencils or crayons to color the visual symbols that represent the encounters most people experience when fighting to overcome challenges. The encounter discussed in each mile will answer these questions: mile 09: Will you trust your connection to God? mile 10: Are you growing and thriving? mile 11: Is your challenge consuming or refining you? mile 12: Who is journeying with you? mile 13: Are your fears and enemies poisoning you? mile 14: Are you addressing your illnesses and injuries? mile 15: Have you noticed the gifts scattered throughout the difficult parts of your journey? mile 16: Are you reflecting on your growth? The challenges of this world won't stop me. I will keep moving forward! ENDORSEMENTS "Extremely grateful for Melony Brown's godly example and wisdom shared. Her work is a gift to us all." Lecrae Award-winning Christian hip hop artist, actor, and author "The beauty of Melony Brown's writing is not simply in her ability to craft story and hope in a meaningful way, but how the substance of her own life is woven into her work. Every word is an extension of the victory she's lived and an invitation to find life even in the most unexpected places. Keep Moving Forward is honest, inspirational, and life changing. If you're going to trust a guide on how to overcome and flourish, I recommend following one of the few who has actually done it. I can't recommend this book enough." Phil Manginelli Lead Pastor at The Square Church "Reading a new book is like being introduced to a new acquaintance; it often takes only a few pages to know whether you'll become fast friends. In Keep Moving Forward, Melony Brown's second volume in her Journey On! series, you'll meet an experienced trail guide whose empathetic voice, can-do spirit and interactive survival guide provides just the trusted companionship you need as you confront life's challenges head-on. Through targeted questions, compelling visuals, scriptural principles, and uplifting stories of overcomers, Keep Moving Forward will teach you to do exactly that."
