So many things happened in my personal life during 2009, and those events drew me even closer to God and relying on Him for grace, strength, and peace. People seem to think that I should be hurting and a mess after my divorce. So not true. Initially I was for the first few weeks, but I realized that God didn’t want that for me. I was to turn to Him, cast all my cares on Him, and move on. When I reached that point in late July, things slowly began to fall in place and my heart was overflowing with peace.
As I look back at how far I’ve come and how things have changed in the last six months, I know everything happened for a purpose and none of it was a mistake. It was all part of God’s perfect plan. I was recently reminded of a song (I believe it was written by Mac and Beth Lynch.)
My life I give to you oh Lord use me I pray
May I glorify Your precious name in all I do and say
Let me trust You in the valley dark as well as in the light
Knowing You will always lead me
Your will is always right
I know God makes no mistakes
He leads in every path I take
Along the way that’s leading me to home
Though at times my heart would break
There’s a purpose in every change He makes
So that others would see my life and know
That God makes no mistakes
And when some day in heav’n above I see His dear face
May I then be counted faithful as a runner in this race
But now I’m trusting in the Savior to show me the way
In His righteousness He guides me as I seek to please Him day by day
I know God makes no mistakes
He leads in every path I take
Along the way that’s leading me to home
Though at times my heart would break
There’s a purpose in every change He makes
So that others would see my life and know
That God makes no mistakes
God makes no mistakes
I’ve tried to live each day reflecting the peace in my heart, and I know it baffles people. But God didn’t make a mistake in giving me those events to live through. I wouldn’t trade a single one of them, no matter how emotionally or physically painful, for a million dollars. They’ve made me a better and stronger person, one who is looking forward to what will unfold in 2010.
