Journey Gps: Guide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781973632313)

Dr. SASIE is a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, who gives all glory, honor, and praise to Him. Although always a believer, she did not always understand the value and the vital necessity to having a personal and intimate relationship with the Lord. As a child and young teenager, she often fondly thought of Jesus Christ as more like a history lesson based on her upbringing in the Lutheran faith and attendance of parochial school through middle school, where she was exposed to the doctrines and beliefs according to the Bible and the triune God, which was the focus of daily religion class at her Lutheran school she attended and participated in for the majority of every Wednesday morning. That is where she received more in-depth teachings and later was confirmed under the Lutheran faith at the age of thirteen. Dr. SASIE first gave her life to Jesus Christ and accepted Him as Lord and Savior at the age of nineteen, shortly before having heart surgery. Just as others have, Dr. SASIE experienced a series of life-changing experiences and circumstances that left her feeling slightly lost, disappointed, and like although the scriptures states never will He leave us nor forsake us that He had left and forsaken her at a time she needed Him most, thus the decision to further study the Bible independently as if it were her research topic similar yet different to her dissertation work completed in education because she knew that if God had helped her be successful at turning around schools, students choices, and their academic achievement, that surely He could help her turn around the unusual back-to-back crisiss and challenges she suddenly faced despite her dependence solely on God, and as a result, a book series and a business came to fruition despite her realization what the future journey had in store. Initially, Dr. SASIE didnt think she could make it, but later came to the realization that God allowed her to live through it, survive it, and began to flourish through the small beginnings because He already knew she could handle it. When life no longer made sense, she spent even more time in the presence of God and sought His face and their relationship grew and grew. Through this journey, the Lord taught her how to not only survive the devastation, but to thrive and then help others do the same. Dr. SASIE made a promise to God that one day she would share some of her experiences and tell everyone she could, and everywhere she went, that God is real, and able to do the unthinkable and impossible no matter what the trial, circumstance, or challenge, we find ourselves in or approaching in life. Dr. SASIE is a yielded vessel to God who has given her life, time, skills, talents, and gifts to Him, to use as He sees fit. She knew at the age of five that she would one day be a teacher. She now knows that even then, the Lord had a calling on her life and knows that the good work He started in her, He was already bringing to fruition. While she thought teaching was the end, He had so much more in store to become an educational leader for the majority of her nearly twenty-year career.
