My life – turned upside down

These are but a few small steps in my journey.

This is the path He has given.

This is the place I find myself.

And learn to find Him.

Here…in the now…where He has me, learning to find hope in the darkness.

A little more than 5 years ago my life took a dramatic turn. At the time, I thought things had horribly gone wrong. I was living in a darkness that I had no name for. I was living behind a wall of silence that I didn’t know how to break down.

I didn’t know it at the time, but God was taking my life down a new path…for His purposes. for my good.

When I look back on my life before this time of darkness, I see a different person. A completely different person. I used to think that person was better, more together, happier. I was competent. I was stable. I was accountable. I was dependable. I was responsible.

I didn’t know it at the time, but God was teaching me that in my weakness, He is strong.

I really could not learn that lesson if I had remained competent in my own strength. God had to strip me of what little strength I did have. He had to strip me of all I knew about myself and all I knew about Him. He had to show me that who I thought I was, was not really who He created me to be.

He turned my world upside down.
