Sometimes life seems hard to bear,
        Full of sorrow, trouble and woe
        It's then I have to remember
        That it's in the valleys I grow.

        If I always stayed on the mountain top
        And never experienced pain,
        I would never appreciate God's love
        And would be living in vain.

        I have so much to learn
        And my growth is very slow,
        Sometimes I need the mountain tops,
        But it's in the valleys I grow.

        I do not always understand
        Why things happen as they do,
        But I am very sure of one thing.
        My Lord will see me through.

        My little valleys are nothing
        When I picture Christ on the cross
        He went through the valley of death;
        His victory was Satan's loss.

        Forgive me Lord, for complaining
        When I'm feeling so very low.
        Just give me a gentle reminder
        That it's in the valleys I grow.

        Continue to strengthen me, Lord
        And use my life each day
        To share your love with others
        And help them find their way.

        Thank you for valleys, Lord
        For this one thing I know
        The mountain tops are glorious
        But it's in the valleys I grow!

        REMEMBER...
        The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is
        the distance between your knees and the floor. The one who
        kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything


        If your problem is bigger than your GOD, then you are serving the wrong god...
        remember that knees that bend don't shake!
        ~ Dr. P. L. Williams
