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. All the lessons I've 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. For deep character's there            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, into 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!
