    About this ebook

    You can live in God’s Kingdom and still not be convinced. Heaven is filled with those who bow and worship while one secretly disagrees and questions God’s plan for a family on Earth. This worker of Eternal Paradise sees the family suffering and in pain and wonders what God is up to. Is God really good? Is God always right? Will Thaddeus be able to agree with God or will he abandon his faith and his Assignment altogether?

      Acknowledgements

      I

      want to thank Matt and Jacki Drane and Beth Hall for research for this book, and opening up to me about their lives in the ministry. Thank you Anthony Cromyak Jr. for creating a fantastic art design for the front cover of this book. Thank you to my good friends, Tommie Swisher and Liz Dodd, for your editing and feedback with this book as well as so many others who support me in my writing career. As always, special gratitude goes to my husband, Travis, for believing in me and holding my hand through this entire process. I wouldn't be here without you! Jesus Christ, your fantastic love is what makes me want to keep writing about you and is something I want to spend the rest of my life sharing with others. This book is dedicated in loving memory to my Aunt Judy.

      I am going to prepare a place for you. –Jesus (John 14:2)

      From Glory to Glory

      Jesus Christ moves and prepares a way for you; a way where there once was no way. He plans the details and sets up the players. He makes it so you cannot fail.

      He then waits in the spot He has prepared for you. He moves furniture and decorates the place to your liking. It looks exactly like everything you would want and desire. He arranges the area with you in mind. He protects your spot so no demon in Hades can hinder, deny or delay it. It’s yours.

      You walk; the Holy Spirit behind you. He allows you to choose where you want to go. When asked, He’ll whisper in your ear subtle hints and directions. He may even reach out His hand and point the way. He stays behind you to make it almost impossible for you to stop, give up and turn back. He gives you the desire to move ahead. If you start to look back, you see Him encouraging you to move forward. You may not always know the way, but you will get there.

      There is only one door with your name on it; the others are shut, bound and locked. There is only one room prepared for you. Stay on the path that is yours, and don’t waver because the door on your right looks better or the door on your left is a taller one with a gold doorknob. Your path may not seem glamorous, but it’s yours nonetheless.

      Once you’re in that area Jesus has prepared for you and the Holy Spirit has led you, you will feel and know that you are in the perfect will of God. You see Jesus there and you bow in awe. You cry thanking the Holy Spirit. The Glory of God falls because His sons are together again. You have found the place prepared for you and you start to see it is everything you love. And what’s best...you stay in His Glory!

      CHAPTER 1

      C

      hange was happening and coming quick. You could feel it, itching at you as you waited desperate for movement. You had been in a holding pattern for too long. You had prayed day after day to be released from what felt like a prison and all the while, you were still here. Life was still the same, a revolving motion of people, activity, sleep, and food.... No passion. No interest. Just stuck. What you were unaware of was that Heaven was moving. You could not see it but there was crucial happenings going on! Heaven was quite aware of your feelings. In fact, Heaven was also craving for you to leave but knew timing was everything. This progression of movement happened years ago. A board meeting of sorts was called in Heaven. The topic of interest? You. In the array of halos and wings was a flurry of activity involving the next steps for you; what path you should be on and what door needed to be opened next. The Heavenly meeting went a little something like this…
