“Joy and sorrow are His oceans

And in their ebb and flow

The Lord a door has opened

All of Hell could never close

Here I’m tested, and made worthy

Tossed and lifted up

By the reckless raging fury they call the love of God.”

This year has changed me. I pray for the better.

I’ve felt the peace of still waters, and the crashing of a hurricane.

And all I can say is, “Glory to Jesus Christ, who has sustained my body and soul.”

For all the tears of joy and grief that have fallen from my eyes, they have watered a patch of soil from which has sprung forth an abundance of life.

Perhaps now I truly know I’m alive — in ways I never did before.

Here’s to 28. The Lord is ever-faithful.
