Carol had all the blessings of being raised in a loving Christian home, but those blessings came with their own set of spiritual dangers.
“I was excited but scared. Was I doing the right thing, or had I made a terrible decision that would mess up my whole life? I had always believed that my Heavenly Father would give me the perfect husband. Yes, I always tried to clarify, 'perfect for me,' but, in my imagination, that had a very specific meaning.
In my dreams of the perfect marriage, I had been looking through the self-centred lens of how my husband would fulfill my wants. God was looking at how he would fulfill my needs; my need to mature, my need to see my own weaknesses so I could cry out to God to change me, my need to know that I really was very self-centred and to let God become the centre of my life; my need to go through some major refining.”
As you read Carol's story, you will feel the shame of her all too common failures; you will cry as she shares her heart wrenching sorrows, but you will also laugh with delight at the love stories, and thrill with the way God steps in and answers prayers in ways only He can do, and through it all you will see the blessing of thankfulness.
You will be strengthened as you transition from the emotional turmoil of coping with a husband's dementia, to rejoicing at the amazing recovery that follows.
It is all here in this miracle-saturated auto-biography of a young girl's passionate request and the exciting journey that follows.
Learning to listen and respond, learning to wait, and especially learning to be content and thankful in every situation, can be a painful growing experience for all of us. Carol shares her intimate struggles in a transparent but upbeat fashion, in this compelling narrative of human weakness, and glorious triumphs.
The Path He Choose for Me is a highly Inspirational, faith building, and practical read for Christians, or for anyone else truly wanting to know if a personal God actually exists.
