Valley shadows
dark tangling
chasing my life
Long and thin grey
stretching out
Past patches
tendrils of decisions
shifting with the sun
reaching out to trip
bring me down
on my knees,
And in that position
I am ready to give up…

Give up to
God the highest praise,
Look up, 
for God is good in every
Place
Circumstance 
for God is glorious in every
Valley
Moment.

Only this God
the resurrection Son Jesus  
Can, Has restored time
for me to be fully me,
for you to be fully you,
I rise up smiling
Sunlight dancing
across my eyes
Sunshine dancing
in my soul.

Starting Thoughts:
Can we find the God who is good in both the valleys and the mountain top experiences in our lives? If the love nature of God never changes, if the grace of Christ is forever, can we walk the journey in the Spirit drawing closer to God?
