“Occasionally we see “shooting stars” in ministry—people who come out of seemingly nowhere and practically overnight are known worldwide, usually because they happened to get in with a certain group of people who had an ability to open doors for them.

We can learn to enjoy the journey of life, even when it takes us in a different direction than we had planned.”
