It Is Well with My Soul

When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul!”

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—
My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to His Cross, and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend –
“Even so, it is well with my soul”

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live;
If dark hours about me shall roll
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

Probably very few, like Spafford, are able to maintain their faith in the face of such devastating bereavement without spiritually faltering. The natural tendency of one confronted with such senseless tragedy would surely be to question, to doubt, to blame, to accuse God. Yet this hymn reveals a person who had been graced by God to mourn without bitterness, to sorrow without anger, to trust without resentment, to rest in the peace of Christ which surpasses every man's understanding (Phil. 4:6). The remarkable faith exhibited by the author of this hymn is the same precious faith allotted to all the believers (2 Peter 1:1) which enables them to believe steadfastly as the author did, that all things work together for good to those who love God and to those who are called according to His purpose (Rom. 8:28).

My life is for God's purpose, whatever happens to me, I must not be sad but trust and still have the peace He offers us. My friends, I love you, my family I love you. I want to believe, I want to love others, my lot has made me a stronger daughter.

He Knows My Name

He knows my name, He made me, He planned my whole life. I did not have a very kind childhood, which someday I will share. Right now in my life, I'm having trouble with some family issues, which are very sad and unkind too. But I have hope.

While doing the dishes this morning, I had a wonderful thought, I'm sure from my Creator, who loves me. If God helped me through my childhood troubles, and answered some of my childhood prayers, then He can do it for me again as an adult. I must remember to have faith and to remember He knows my name. I must be patient, kind, gentle and relaxed among others and to keep helping my church with dinners, with my scrapbooking etc.

I must remember He knows my name!

In Christ Alone,

A Season in LIfe

Dear Friends,
I'm going through some tough times right now, and during these times, I'm slowing down with my blog. My heart does not know what to write about, even my gardening time has been limited. I do have my hand on my Pillar, my Lord and Savior while I'm feeling so sad and old. It's a weird feeling when your thinking you are Job, being attacked by Satan. This situation is stopping me from doing God's work or stopping me to love and smile.

Staying home and baking cookies has helped me, but only Christ Alone will bail me out of this Season in my Life.

I'm a small little seed, trying to get out of this pit, I want to bloom for my KING!
