Lord, You have me in this valley,
for reason that are unknown . . .
but, I know deep in my heart
I am not down here all alone.
For, I know You are with me,
every step of the way . . .
and I know deep in my soul
there will come a better day.
Lord, I don’t know how long,
in this valley I will be . . .
but, I am prepared to stay
as long as Your here with me.
For, You have always promised,
from me You would never leave
and I know deep in my spirit
these words I now must believe.
Lord, I thank You for this valley,
though it has me feeling low
but, I know I am down here . . .
so my faith in You can grow!

Yes I am fine and thank you for your prayers 🙏 I wrote this after my son died and was in that deep valley of grief. Because of how he passed I was constantly being forced to relive his death through the reports, pictures and other such items for over two years! I revised the poem this month and re-posted it to remind me of how far God and I have come. ❤️ Love you back sister ❤️

My dearest dearest sister in Christ. I had no idea and I don’t want to make you sad. I have no idea what you have been through or what it is like for you now. I honestly had no idea. Please do know this dearest Deborah. God works through you every single time I read your posts and your amazing Psalms. You do make a difference in my life Deborah. Please know that you are a beacon that reaches out to me. God is in my heart and the Holy Spirit resides in my body but I am human. I get sad some days or will be in a bad mood and I read your beautiful words and I am reassured of His words. I love you and there is nothing I can say about your loss as there are no words. Know that I am here, and that you are in my prayers and I am so grateful for you. 🙏

Thank you Joni for your kind words . . . God used my experience to reach out to both family and friends to share my faith. I wrote a poem about how joy does come after “mourning” and He has restored mine completely. I am so thankful that He is using me to reach out to you Joni. May he continue to work in your life in wondrous ways. Have a very blessed Lord’s Day sister in Christ 🙏 I Love you too ❤️🤗

You are an inspiration and proof that God is capable of all things. You touch lives and I am grateful for you and your beautiful Psalms. We will be finishing up an in-depth study of Mark. You have a blessed Sabbath as well. Love you Deborah. ❤️🤗🦋
