Climbing out of a valley

Good morning friends,

I realized my last few posts were kinda downers so I thought I would crawl out of my valley and look for a mountain to climb.  How is that for analogy's.

But I have forgotten the most important part of being in a low place, and that is to worship and praise God for everything even our discontent and anger.

Yesterday I rested and prayed and slept. It was so needed and felt so wonderful.

Today I have a clearer mind and a lighter heart.

I think sometimes when we are in a deep valley we just expect to find an elevator to bring us to the top quickly, but I see it more as a clawing and scrambling up a muddy slope and slipping and I would be laughing because your face would be dirty.

I feel joy today and excitement I get to craft and plan things. I have some graduation things to do and wedding things and invites to send and a teacher gift to buy.

I decided I am going to get Ian's kindergarten teacher a tree to plant because she has sown the seeds and started this young sapling on a sure footing for growth. 

I'm full of analogies today sorry.

So a busy day ahead and visiting the hospital and my mom and being a good daughter.

so today if you feel like your in a deep valley, look up and start climbing it maybe fun.

Smile at a stranger, be a friend hug your mama.

Have a blessed day

always
