Sometimes God puts us on a road that seems to be taking us further from our dreams.
For example, last spring,God called me to write a book. Then several months later, in addition to job hunting, He placed me in a long-distance relationship and called me to move across the country. As a result, I had to set aside Relate Escape for over a year.
