Valleys & Molehills

Believe it or not, the past couple weeks things have been getting better. I've been hanging out with friends and I find myself in the Word more than I had been. I've found myself looking forward to hanging out with my youth groups and actually enjoying preparing for Bible studies. All these things are great, yet I do find myself sitting on my couch or at my desk thinking about where God is taking me. Where is all this going? Where does this path lead? It never fails that the moment I think I have it all figured out He changes everything. And though it usually ends up changed for the better I can't help but mourn over what my life used to be or maybe even mourn over what my life would've been had He allowed me to carry out my plans. In the midst of my mourning and deep-mid-day-thought, a Ginny Owens CD found it's way to my desk and when no one claimed it I put it in my CD player and heard the following song:

The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why you brought me here
But just becaause you love me the way that you do
I'm gonna walk through the valley if you want me to

'Cause I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise you're not through with me yet
So if all these trials bring me closer to you
Then I will go thorugh the fire
If you want me to

It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me thorugh a world that's not my home
but you never said it would be easy
You only said i'll never go alone

So when the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear you answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering your love put you though
And I will go through the valley
If you want me to.

So, Lord, if you want me to trust that You will bring me through and bring me all the things my heart longs for I will go through the valley if you want me to.
