Author Karen Barnstable wanted to leave her family with a journal and legacy of her significant life events, experiences and memories showing how in retrospect God had walked her through every life situation. This exercise of personal reflection and journaling led to the development of a unique process that will help others look at what God has done and is doing in each of our own lives. For those who have been thinking about capturing their life experiences on paper, or writing their significant life memories this process will allow them to organize their reflections and leave a legacy of life stories and reflections of meaning for others to profit by. It will also bring new understanding about the purpose and plan for their life. As Karen began the process of her writing, she discovered new clarification of how her life all fit together. She notes,” I saw with a fresh perspective, how the silver threads of God had designed a purpose and plan for me in everything. I could see with clearer vision how God had been near to me in every life situation.” These 29 chapters of Seeking Silver: In Every Life Experience start with Karen’s own personal stories, prayers and penetrating questions which will guide the reader to their own meaningful reflections. Readers will revisit and reframe life experiences using the four dimensions of reflection Karen devised—thinking back, inward, outward, and finally forward. It is Karen’s hope that the processes outlined in this book will guide readers to reflect on the significant events or seasons in their own life and inspire readers to begin writing and reflecting on their own life stories. A great catalyst for many more legacies of faith.
