The Journey Begins is a book based on our walk through healing and deliverance. Throughout the book trials, tribulations, and testing are parallel though hikes taken in the mountains with insight as to what is really happening. The whole book is designed to draw one closer to God. Catherine Mae has been saved since April 18, 1990 and has walked through many deep valleys through her life. Abuse was part of her life and she was almost overcome with anorexia/bulimia until the Lord called her to Himself. Catherine knows the heartaches of divorce, being co-dependent and having a course of self-destruction set in her life. When Jesus called her to Himself, her life seemed completely out of control and totally destroyed. Once she called on the Lord, He began to restore, rebuild and renew every area that had been broken in her life. Lies of the enemy were replaced with God's truth about who she was to HIM, and from that faithful day in April 1990, all things indeed became new. She is married and has 6 children and 4 grandchildren. God has blessed her with the privilege of serving on a team as a teacher/praise and worship leader in three local prisons and a cell-to-cell ministry on death row. She led Kay Author and Beth Moore Bible studies and served as worship leader at Women's Aglow local chapter. Catherine's message is that God is faithful, sovereign and uses everything we go through for His glory, for our good and to help rebuild others. We serve an awesome GOD! Joseph puts the message best in Genesis 50:20 NIV: You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. May God be praised!
