Oh the places you will go…

Oh the places you will go when you love someone. You can travel the world, Joy fills every moment and you fly on the wings of laughter.
But what happens when that person is taken away from you, when joy seems as far away as the east from the west, when laughter doesn’t heal the pain. Oh the places you will go…

Oh the places you will go when you live a life in obeidence to Gods calling, when you see his hand guiding your steps and there is joy in your work.
But what happens when he hides his face from you, when he asks you to go through the valley and when he asks you to trust him without any understanding of the drak places he is leading you. Oh the places you will go…

oh the places I am going…

    The only thing I can say is that on the other side of a valley is a mountain. That is a place you will be going. It is always darkest before dawn and blah blah… you’ve heard it before I know. I love and I am praying for you!!!!! I’m always hear to listen if you need me.

    I hear you, daughter…God takes us on these journeys,especially the joyless ones…I know when I see or hear of stories of people, mainly women, who go through their life and suffer the ups and downs and appear to keep coming out with grace and joy…they are : because of who they serve. I want to be that witness. I want to be the person that is unfurled about life…an example would be building this house. How I have failed to be an encourager, because of periodic meltdowns that are, least to say, ungodly meltdowns. You see, there are other priorities in life other than this house, it’s not as important as the relationships I want to build, and the people I want to serve. Ahhh, but I miss some of the point, that the “person” I am serving is God and what the heck does He require of me? And am I willing to struggle through a time of desert (that which I hate) to learn so that I may encourage others eventually, and find joy in God Himself? The painful thing is I have to look and take responsibility in the things I have chosen, and that is where God gives me choice…and I choose to pull myself out of bed in the morning (as hard as that is getting mentally), and direct my day (even if it’s hour by hour) toward Him…not to the guilts, or the “what ifs” but to His Glory.
    Ponder on, daughter…God will reveal Himself to you…He does not “hide” long…
