Valleys

Well I have been busy working on my kitchen and today thought I'd make a start on the spare room. It hasn't been decorated since I moved in here. As I was moving some stuff I came across some Lou Lewis cassettes. She is a Christian singer that I went to see once when I was at uni and I spent a lot of time listening to her songs. I have no idea where she is now but here is one of my favourite songs of hers called "Valleys" and quite appropriate to how I've been feeling lately...

You've been walking in the valley of despair
Wondering if I care that you're living in confusion
But don't you know the breaking of your heart
Will open up the part that can shine with my reflection
And love will never let you down, always be around
To catch you when you fall
And light will never fail to come, bringing you the Son
And saying when you call...I am the way

And you've been walking in the valley of doubt
Trying to find out the things that you believe in
But don't you see that living in my word
Is not just things you've heard
But the things that you're receiving
And love will never let you down, always be around
To catch you when you fall
And light will never fail to come, bringing you the Son
And saying when you call...I am the truth


And you've been walking in the valley of tears
Facing all your fears...you need a resurrection
But don't you know the lessons that you've learned
Will keep you always turned in the right direction
And love will never let you down, always be around
To catch you when you fall
And light will never fail to come, bringing you the Son
And saying when you call...I am the way, the truth and the life

pilch,
What a beautiful song and kinda way i been feeling to that when you are in doubt and feeling in despair, love is always there , and for me that is the love of god , even though u feel he not there sometimes ad are down etc, he makes them things happen so that when u do turn to him with your trials , he draws you closer to him and changes your thoughts and maybe sometimes helps you in your circumstances whether it be the next day or the next year ....he always delivers and the most awesome thing is .....even if you feel guilty in not reading his word as much or not feeling he is there ........he always is listenin xx
