How Amazing!

HOW AMAZING!

How amazing the road I ascend
Never seeing beyond the bend
Yet knowing that whatever's up ahead
By Adventure and Faith I am led.

How delightful to watch it unfold.
Nuances and shades - soft and bold.
The heights, the depths, the long-stretching plains
Who can fathom all that remains?

How wondrous that joy comes like dew
As I greet each morning anew.
The lessons learned spur me on to new heights
And unhindered I see splendid sights.

How surprising when all’s said and done,
It has not been only for fun.
Deep character grew from the myriad of trials
What a grace has been gained from the miles.

How astounding that my life can be
A mirror that others may see
A reflection of God and a light on their way
So I rise to greet each glorious day!

At age 47, sometimes the events in my life are overwhelming as they bring me
to new levels of maturity and growth. It can be a struggle to let go and cooperate with the process, but the Lord weaves me, like threads into a tapestry, a bigger picture.  I am motivated to go on by the desire to have the character of Jesus show through me like a bright light.  And so I welcome each step that I am called
to walk until that character is formed in me.

And How Amazing!  God is doing it!
