My 10-year old body was hot, tired, and sweaty. Living of the New Jersey side of the Hudson River directly opposite downtown NYC did nothing to relieve the oppressive heat. I stopped to catch my breath and leaned against the railing of the landing. The stairs ahead of me seemed to go on forever. I looked over my shoulder to the bottom and I could see I was only halfway up. This landing afforded a moment of rest, but it was also became a place of decision. Do I continue ahead or change direction? 

Life is full of Changes, Choices, and Challenges. They often arrive unexpectedly and many times they could not have been predicted.  You can stop for a moment of reflection, but then you have to proceed. You cannot remain on any “Landing of Life” indefinitely … God wants to empower us to move on!!

“The Landing” series is a compilation of concise accounts of real life stories and supportive suggestions that describe, demonstrate, and deliver help, hope and even healing which can happen through God-directed decisions made on "The Landings of Life".
