Transformed by Lament

- by Dawne Driedger

Almost ten years ago, I entered a very dark time in my life. It was preceded by a number of significant changes in my life and some serious health issues requiring several weeks of radiation.

Numerous stressful circumstances converged over a short period of time to create a perfect storm and I began a period of crippling anxiety that took years of recovery.

The next three verses describe the devastation of drought, disease and natural disaster. But the final verse begins with the word, Yet. Yet, in spite of all of that, a word of gratitude to God is spoken and sung.
