Why she wrote - " Climbing "

WHY

This little word, "WHY," faced me many months before the willingness came to attempt the writing of these memories.

Why indeed should any further record of my life be made, for in How I Know GOD Answers Prayer and also in Goforth of China not a little of my life experiences have been given.
Therefore, a brief statement is fitting as to how or why this personal story came to be written.

For years previous to my husband's death, and, to my surprise, increasingly so after his "life" appeared, requests reached me urging that I write something of my own life, my struggles, yes, and over-comings - something that might help others facing life's hard problems.

For months, even years, I persistently turned these requests down. Then, about eighteen months ago, when several letters reached me from people and places far distant from each other, all containing the same urging, I began seriously to wonder, "Is this thing of GOD?"

In a very uncertain way, I began to write down visions of the past as they came. I realize keenly how imperfect is the record - scrappy, disconnected, and entirely incomplete, for the half of the Lord's mercies can never be told. I am too old to rewrite, so, such as it is, the story is now sent forth with the hope that He who has sustained in the writing will use it to help other climbers up life's hillside.
