Overcoming the Obstacles (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781625097750)

Giving our lives to Christ is the beginning of a walk that will take us down a path that is unique to each of us. Life is never predictable. It ebbs and flows with glory moments where we encounter God on the mountain or in the lowest valley where we ask in desperation, "God where are you?" Hard times are a part of life. Difficulties, challenges, and obstacles are no respecter of age, color, race, income, title, or belief. The question is do we allow the obstacles to direct us or define us? In submission and obedience we can view obstacles as an opportunity for God to reveal His character and teach us powerful life lessons or we can resist and be overcome by them. The choice is ours. God's word says, "The righteous person may have many troubles, BUT the Lord delivers Him from them all" (Psalm 34:19). Obstacles and challenges provide the opportunity to teach us about life. As a Christian, these difficulties have the potential to produce spiritual growth, faith and build character that cannot be accomplished any other way. When we successfully overcome the obstacle, then we are more compassionate in helping others who are experiencing similar struggles. Donna Davis serves as the Coordinator of Teacher Certification and Accreditation in the School of Education at Florida Southern College. Prior to earning her Master's degree in Educational Leadership she taught in Christian schools for twenty-one years. Presently she is a member of the Board of Directors for a local private school and has served in ministry alongside her husband for the past thirty years. Donna has two married children and one grandson. She enjoys exercising, being outdoors, reading and spending quality time with family and friends.
