Our Life's Journey: The Past/The Present/The Future

By Donavon D Campbell and Samantha Campbell

Our Life's Journey was designed through the inspiration of a Caribbean couple wanting to share a different and exciting personal experience. It targets a variety of audiences, including young adults, families, couples, and seniors.

When Donavon and Samantha Campbell heard the phrase "from nightmare to sweet dreams" while listening to their youth pastor, Michelle Clarke, preach her first sermon, they were motivated and empowered to make this book a reality. It will remind the readers there is hope and a bright future ahead, despite struggles and disappointments. They were further inspired by a co-worker's statement that if anyone wants to experience growth or success, he or she must "do uncomfortable things to achieve goals in life."

Our Life's Journey identifies challenging topics, such as understanding love, dealing with life's transitions, overcoming health and environmental struggles, discovering how to keep a positive mindset despite the negatives, and learning to fully depend on God's help in life.

The authors hope that every reader of this inspired book will be motivated to accomplish their heart's desires and expand on their talents . . . let's GO!

Introduction

Life is a Journey, Not a Destination.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

The only final destination in life is Heaven. Therefore, we should all make it a goal to go to Heaven. Team Campbell has made an intentional goal to put God First and follow His guidance in our life’s journey. Thus, we have allowed God to write the different chapters of our lives.

Although, we have had many ups and downs since we met each other, our struggles rewarding because we have gone through them together.
