If You Want Me To by Ginny Owens
this song has many memories with it. you know how some songs are like that. you can smell certain smells, hear certain sounds. when i hear this song, i remember laying on the floor of my living room, and the song is playing so loudly and i'm crying so hard. in the memories i have, my heart and mind can't grasp what to feel...but the TRUTH of this song gives me a peace beyond understanding.
God has taken me through valleys. they weren't easy. but He is more real to me today than ever before. He has shown me He will be on the other side of the valley. ALWAYS.
i'm not in a valley at the moment. but i've lived with the Lord at my side long enough to know that another will come. and i want to remember, even when i'm not in one, how FAITHFUL He is. so often i go crying to Him only in the hard moments. i'm coming to Him tonight, thanking Him for His goodness and grace and mercy...and i recognize that He is most likely strengthening me right now for another "valley." that's fine. as long as He is with me....and He is glorified.

Oh what a wonderful blog. You are right on Courtney ~ oh for a mom to see the growth of "a child" (you will always be my child...even though I am so proud of the adult Courtney!). God has touched your life and heart...and for that your Dad and I are so grateful. To be where you are is "right" where God wants you ~ where He wants each of us to be...having such a relationship with Him that we rest in "whatever" He brings to us. Praying always and loving you, Mom
It IS good to be without "blogs" for a bit isn't it. There is a fine line of enjoying it and it consuming us.
Wow Courtney. That is really powerful. Such wise words from your heart. It's so true.
