Behold

This is a chronicle of love and of life, an account of God's
enduring compassion; his faithfulness to be present and rescue when dark
billows threaten to destroy, his kindness to heal and strengthen us and
lift our heads, his determination to teach, inspire, and make alive,
his power to restore our souls and bring to pass "Plan A,"-his plan
since the beginning of time. This is my story, a journey which streams
from joyful spirit and evergreen, to man's will and parched desert land,
and finally arrives at my desired haven, a place prepared for me where I
can thrive in favorable soil; a journey which flows from hope, to hurt
and fear, and brings me to rescue and vision, courage and purpose-a
picture of the beauty of God's grace.
