Running this race. Organizing this home. Caring for these little ones.
I am pulled in so many ways, sometimes it is difficult to focus.
When my focus is lost the world becomes fuzzy. Important things are lost in the shuffle of the fleeting.
Relationships put aside, lingering quiet time lost, self becomes bigger.
Then I wake up and realize I am valley walking.
My own thoughts and words and attitudes have led me to the valley of self pity.
A valley that is easy to become home, where I make a nice bed of indulgence and lie in it.
Valley dwelling is not very becoming of a redeemed daughter of the King.
So, today I am grateful for many things. For a God who loves and forgives in spite of my pettiness and pride. I am grateful for a quiet neighbor who shares her own valley journey, so I know the road is shared. I am grateful for a faithful and ever loving husband who prays for me and gently leads me back on the right path of seeking my Savior.
So long valley. This forgiven follower has seen the light and is leaving the darkness behind.
