Valley Shadows

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?

The Cost

Am I 
born to doubt,
In the midst
of laughter,
celebration,
the positive...
a tendril taps my mind,
what is real?
A crack appears
snaking into my thoughts...

Look what they did
to me,
Look what they did
to my family,
Look what they did...
my heart, my feelings,
Look at my thoughts,
Look, spinning...
people... pain.

And yet,
Should I gain 
all things,
have all knowledge,
all success
what do I have?
Ashes, glitter, 
a hourglass 
sand dripping time 
to my death.

Is there really a choice?

And then
I take a risk,
They call it
a step of faith,
opening to
the love of God,
allowing Jesus
to be Lord,
capturing my heart,
And I know, experience Him
as my lover,
and I choose God,
King of glory over my life,
under God's authority,
Making Him Lord.

Does this cost my life?
Yes!
I give all
day by day,
In the valley
are the shadows
that I will walk,
Oh... I remember
the mountain tops 
dancing with God
in incredible release, freedom,
the spirit colours 
streaming, painting wonder.
But in reality valley
choosing you
my Saviour - Lord of my life,
is the full victory
of Christ.
My freedom
My love
My worship.

I am released,
God where do You
want me to step today?
Dance today?
