God and I talk lots every day! He's my Savior, my source, and my strength even on days when everything doesn't quite make sense. He's God of the mountain and He's also God of the valley. He's my Savior and I depend on Him to get through some of life's most difficult challenges.
This summer I've been busy with work, church, enjoying time with friends and family, and writing on my book. One day recently, I was in Colonial Williamsburg with my husband and we stopped to look at the sheep! They are sooooo cute! We got to talking about their features and why they prefer still water. Then in the quiet of the moment God said, "Alicia, I'm your Sheppard of the valley, and I'll lead you beside still waters where we can spend some time together. I'll guide you when you tend to go astray, and I'll tenderly watch over you. Just trust me."
My favorite part of Psalm 23 is this part: Yea though I walk THROUGH the valley of the shadow of death.....I've been walking through the valley of grief, but there is good news! I feel like I'm at the bottom of the mountain and starting to climb up! So, it's in this post that I'd like to say that I'm on my way starting to climb the mountain. There will be good days and bad, but the most important thing is that Jesus, my Sheppard will be with me every step of the way!
Climbing up the mountain,
