The Valley of Whatever that comes my way—I shall not fear for Thou art with me.
The Valley of water, floods, fire, and wind storms are just as fearful as death itself. The valleys of doubt, despair, uncertainty, and the unknown ----we wander into these too---but let us not fear.
Let me remember all that You have done for me in my life, and let me give thanks and praise for all You will be doing too. Your promises - I hope for, Your plans - I will trust in. Your love for me is everlasting, all merciful, and Your goodness overflows into my life forever as I dwell In Your Presence all the days of my life.
Yes, I will walk through many valleys as I travel the journey of life. I will be in fires, bellies of whales, lions dens, darkness, times of nothing and times of everything. Times of everything too can be a time of valley, for sometimes too much is too much and not good for the body or soul.
Yea though I walk through any valley---Lord hold me tight and cling to me as I cling to You. Use your staff as a source of comfort and not as way to reprimand or discipline. But wait, sometimes that is what is needed to get my full attention—a slight tap on the shoulder to turn me back to right paths for Your name sake. You, oh Lord, are indeed my Shepherd, and I thank You for never letting me out of Your sight. What a Good God you are, always and evermore---a Mighty, Good God ---none other like You. Holy, Holy, Holy is Your Name.
“The I Am is with you always and forever holds you in His arms.”
Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from Immaculate Heart of Mary church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)
But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.
My husband Robert and I have been married for 54 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 28 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.
God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!
Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
