valleys

The last few months have been hard and they still are, I won't deny that I have pulled the "give up" card many times but especially the last month. Every word of this song sums up my thoughts in a nice little package and I could post it by itself but that's so impersonal.


I caught myself wondering if God could see me down here in my self induced lonely valley afraid and crushed. It just feels impossible to lay this life down. How do you lay down something so big and scary? Then while listening to this on repeat for days I got my answer. "let him show you how you  can lay this down" I can't and will never be able to lay this down but I know someone who can enable me to do it in faith. "There's a place where fear has to face the God you know" yeah that one God I know...that one who can see me and keep me from going under. The one who can make beauty from ashes.  "He is breathing on your dry bones and there will be dancing, There will be beauty where beauty was ash and stone. This much I know"


The only God who can sustain me, comfort me, save me, and help me. My soul needs that help. My faith might be thin but I am so in awe of how Faith can be restored when enabled by the source.
