It is truly amazing how God works through people. I am so thankful for the friends that I have, the times that we have shared, and the bonds that we have made. God has really blessed me with a lot of things, but today in church, He really opened up my heart to see that I am not the only one who goes through these valleys. The sermon that pastor gave today was all about how we have to go through the valleys to get to the peaks. I have been in a valley for a while now, and I think I am ready to start the ascend to the peak. One thing that sticks out in my mind from todays sermon, is that we should not make life decisions while in a valley, because we cannot see anything clearly. We should only make life decisions when we are at the peaks, because when we are at the peak, we can see everything clearly.

I realized today that I wrote about my life using the analogy of peaks and valleys just under a month ago, but I haven’t really climbed out of the valley that I was in, I was trying to make my own path up to the peak, rather than take the one that God had pointed me towards. In case you don’t read my MySpace blog, here is what I said about a month ago:

Life is an amazing journey. I think that I have finally gotten out of the many valleys of my life, and am excited to be climbing again towards another peak. While I know that the valleys in life are necessary to get to another peak, it is so scary being surrounded by so many massive mountains. I think that God is leading me down a completely different path than I wanted to go down before, and I know that taking this path will lead me to the peak with the most beautiful view. This is going to be a tough climb, so please pray for me that I can keep God beside me.

Speaking of keeping God beside me, I always used to think that I was supposed to follow God, and here recently, thanks to a lot of conversations with Him, I have realized that I am supposed to walk with Him. I know that many of you may think that I am crazy, or that I am just speaking gibberish, that is ok, one day I am sure you will understand. I used to dwell in my insecurities, but tonight God showed me that in this climb, there will be no place to stop and dwell in an insecurity, and that excites me. Hopefully I will never have to see dwell in another insecurity again, I know that with God at my side, I have all the security I need. God has done a lot to prepare me for this next climb, and tonight has given me peace, the final tool that I needed to get out of this valley. Please know that I am keeping all of you in my prayers, you are always on my heart. Have a great memorial day weekend.

Isn’t it amazing how God reminds us of His plan?
