"The pathway is broken, and the signs are unclear, and I don't know the reason why You brought me here..
But just because You love me the way that You do i'm gonna walk through the valley if You want me to
But just because You love me the way that You do i'm gonna walk through the valley if You want me to
Cause I'm not who I was when I took my first step, and I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet..
So if all of these trials bring me closer to you then I will walk through the fire if You want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen, when you lead me through a world that's not my home,
but You never said it would be easy, You only said I'd never go alone
So when the whole world turns against me, and I'm all by myself, and I can't hear You answer my cries for help,
I'll remember the suffering that Your love put You through, and I will walk through the darkness if You want me to
Cuz when I cross over Jordan, gonna sing, gonna shout, gonna look into Your eyes and see You never let me down..
So take me on the pathway that leads me home to You, and I will walk though the valley if You want me to"

sometimes you don't hear a song for awhile and then one day it pops up on your itunes and totally rocks your world and you just have to sit there and soak it in..
sometimes God wants us to walk through valleys.
sometimes God tells us He is about to lead us through fire and our only reason for following Him through it is because we KNOW we love Him. we may be like frightened little rabbits but we know that He loves us and is going to make sure we're safe.
that just hit me... the realization that valleys are not these accidental things..
this is a valley... imagine standing at the mouth of this.. a tiny little speck in comparison, with the storm's cold, harsh wind whipping at your face, and your one traveling companion telling you that they can lead you through it...
it's a terrifying thought when you think about it...
and then you remember..
"greater love casts out all fear"
praise God for this promise, and in His mercy, let me remember it when my turn comes..
