Things have been going so good lately for me that when I hit a bump in the road this past week I found myself complaining to God that things had been good and I did not like this feeling again of depression and being overwhelmed. Well as I was walking that day letting God know what I thought about all this junk going on, He gave me a good message and I thought maybe some others could use it too, so let me share it.
Let me start off by saying that last January and February I was so overwhelmed with depression and feelings of failure that I thought I would drown in it all. God told me that at that point I was so low there were only two choices, going up out of the pit or drowning in it, so with the help He gave me and through the journey He took me on I climbed out of that pit and have been on a uphill climb since. Things have been great, seeing improvements, feeling better, feeling the burden lift. You could say life was pretty grand so that is why I was frustrated now. As God showed me I had been in the valley and with His help climbed up the next mountain and was on the mountain top for awhile but once you get to the other side of the mountain there is always another valley, so my choices were to stay on top of the mountain and not grow anymore or to go through the next valley with Him and trust that He would grow me and show me something good out of it. Wow, what a truth that was. At that point I realized a very important thing, since I had recommitted my whole life back to God last March and asked him to lead me and said that I would follow, the one thing I know for sure is that no matter what valley I have to face or roadblock life throws me or bump in the road I may hit God will be there with me walking each step of the way and helping me along and in fact at times when it gets too hard for me, He picks me up and carries me. Valleys are not so bad if we don't walk through them alone, I hope you take God along with you as you face your valleys.
