This blog is dedicated to the memory of Janet Pate (December 25, 1962- December 26, 2013), http://janetpate.blogspot.com/. I read her blog for almost 2 years and prayed for her healing and peace. After I read Janet's post on December 11, 2013 titled "It Is Well With My Soul", I started reflecting back on her 2 year blog. You see if you are like me you say "why God" a whole lot instead of "okay God how will this situation be used to glorify you?" That is the question we should ask. Janet always glorified our Lord.
I didn't know Janet; never met her. I found her on Kelly's Korner one day when I was blog hopping. Well as I read the history of post and reflected on her current situation I could see God in every detail. I could see Him like never before and I thought to myself wouldn't it be nice to keep a journal of life and then reflect on it and if I ever question if God is with me then I would be able to look back and see He always was.
Janet's impact on me was profound. I realized one morning after she passed that God had put on my heart that I should blog about my life with Jesus and not just me, but ask my sister and best friend to share their lives as well. My hope is the tapestry that we will weave with our post will show you Jesus is in every detail of our lives. This blog will be used to glorify God. Thank you, Janet for putting your life out there for us. Thank you, for always giving God the glory.
Isaiah 43:7“Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.” (KJV)
Side note: The name of the blog comes from Natalie Grant's song Hurricane.
The song says "and when you feel the rain, call His name; He'll find you in a hurricane."
He most certainly will!
Grace to you-
Jenny
