Peaks & Valleys

Once we accept the Gift of Faith, Our Lord also placed  many intangible gifts we will find we need as we brave our journey back Home.

Every day we arise from our slumber, daring to take up our cross, we will be called many times to pull out and use our God-given invisible gifts as we attempt to climb the peaks and or walk down to the valleys  placed on our specially chosen paths.

Faith a gift that is paramount to exercise in order to be able to accept all God’s Gifts, so we are equipped to meet whatever highs and lows placed in our unique mission in life.

Only by Faith, are we blessed with the Fortitude to meet the challenges our journey will be filled with.

This path God has laid out for us is for our benefit. It is uniquely our own in order to help us learn what He needs us to learn, in order to fullfill the mission He has given us to complete in His big beautiful world.

If we are open to receiving His Gifts and Fruits of His Holy Spirit, we will grow in Faith, Wisdom and the Knowledge, we truly are not alone in this world.

Be aware of Our God, who we are made in the image and likeness of.

This is our first step toward understanding, each and every one of us has been given the Free Will to befriend the Best Friend of all. A Friend ready, willing, and able to pour out all we need in order to press on, no matter what kind of terrain or turmoil is laying before us.

Thank You Jesus for being in front of me, as I was led down many times into the depths of any given valley.

Thank You for embracing my heart, as I wept uncontrollably in that cold, dark scary place, reassuring me, I was loved and not alone.

Thank you Dear Lord for pointing me in the direction that led me safely back up to sea level.

With every step, You walked beside me, Thank You, Adorable Savior, for pouring Your Mercy and Grace over me, filling my soul with renewed Courage and Strength that encouraged me to Perservere back onto Your straight and narrow road.

Thank you Dear Lover of my sinful soul for pointing me in the right direction, each and every time I found myself paralyzed at the crossroads.

I am humbled and give You all the Glory and Honor due Your Beloved Name, each time I pause in fear as I gaze up a very high peak to frightened to dare take another step.

These are the times, I close my eyes’ I take a deep Breath, and whisper,

Jesus, I need You!

JESUS, I trust in You!

JESUS, I Trust in YOU!!

JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU!!!

I see You in front of me, guiding me forward. I see You stop, turn around, bend down and take my hand. I can feel you pulling me up and over the jagged obstacles I follow You.

Jesus never hides Himself from us. 

He is ready and waiting meet us right where we are at.

Jesus is present within our hearts and stand on every the peaks and in valley pointing us through our Path of Life.
