My husband has been encouraging me to start a blog for quite some time, so I am taking his advice and bringing my journaling into the 21st Century. Like most people, my life has been a journey of joys and sorrows. Now in my midlife years, I find myself thinking a lot about how God has used the events of my life to mold and shape me. And I do believe He is using absolutely everything that has ever happened to me for His purpose and glory. I find the words of Joseph Gilmore’s hymn an apt description of my life.
Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, o’er troubled sea,
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, o’er troubled sea,
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.
As I explore some of the major and not-so-major events of my life and what I have learned about myself and about God through them, I hope to trace the hand of God and His redemptive purposes in my own story.
