ROAD MAP OF LIFE Jeremiah 35:15 (NKJV) I have also sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, ‘Turn Now everyone from his evil way, amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them;' I would liken the Word of God to a road map. If the map does not show you how to get from where you, are to where you are going, with all the necessary directions, then it is useless. I can say the same thing about God's Word. He GAVE us the complete Bible, scripture by scripture, to guide us on our daily path through life. If we take out or change even one scripture, we face the same penalty as losing our road map – we become LOST! B – Basic I – Instructions B – Before L - Leaving E – Earth FOLLOW THE ROAD MAP OF LIFE!

This daily devotional book has been a God-led inspiration from its very start-up; from its original Bible verse and note of encouragement to some coworkers and family members to people around the world via my email network. Our God is so awesome! I've had people return emails to me or speak to me and ask, "How did you know that I needed that today?" or "How did you know I was going through this?" That is when I thankfully remind them that God inspired each and every one of these devotionals. I am just being faithful and following His directions. Now I'm led to put them into a year of daily devotions book to reach others. Occasionally, my emailed devotionals have colored photographs that I take as God inspired message for the day. Unfortunately, I couldn't include those in this book. I did include a photo in grayscale at the beginning of each month; the cover photo is a God-blessed look at an Alaskan sunset. I am so thankful that God is working in my life. I want to encourage each of you to grasp hold of whatever gift He has blessed you with and step out in trust and faith to go forth and to share it with others. When you feel down, just start counting each of the blessings God has touched you with in your life; and you will feel His Presence and comfort to encourage you. We are never alone; He is just a prayer away; nothing is impossible for our God. He is not done with us yet. He is asking us to be obedient in our service to Him, and He will help us grow in our faith. Trust in Him, and you will be astounded at what He has in store for you.

Six months ago, Auria would have described herself as an unremarkably logical person with a sure future. But after she and David were handed catastrophic powers and the task of saving the world, she knew that that normality was long gone; especially after realizing shed fallen in love. Plus, who would choose being normal over the ability to wield earths most destructive forces? Soon faced with constant danger from all sides, Auria realizes that maybe she would. Unfortunately though, thats a choice the Abyses dont get. Auria is convinced that the key to the dark enemy lies within the mysterious tunnels Joyce discovered near the Haripi Camp: those that can only be opened by the touch of an Abys. So once again, Auria and David begin to explore another unknown, learning more about themselves and the true cost of being an Abys. Luckily, they are not alone. The imminent war is a menace to everyone who must choose between succumbing to the darkness or fighting for the life they wished they could have had. But how much blood can be sacrificed, before the fight doesnt become worth it anymore? How many times can you lose sight of yourself, before becoming completely lost?
