I waited patiently for the Lord; and He reached down to me and heard my cry.
He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud;
and He set my feet on a rock, making my footsteps firm.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God;
Many will see and fear and will trust in the Lord.
~ Psalm 40:1-3
Sometimes life does not follow your carefully scripted plans…
And when life deviates from your script, it can…
collapse your world
snatch your joy
steal your dreams
and threaten your security.
And you are left with a choice. Do you:
wallow in your disappointment?
lament your lost dreams and give up?
allow bitterness to consume every fiber of your being?
Or do you…
surrender your disappointment and hope for. what is to come?
relinquish your lost dreams and dream new. dreams?
release your anger and choose to find joy?
seek the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind?
When you seek the Lord, you will find that He…
chose you
called you by name
makes beauty from ashes
restores what the locusts have eaten
and loves you with an everlasting love
It is my prayer, as we journey together through these pages, that the Lord will reveal Himself to you and show you who you are in Him.
To God be all glory,
Sharon
