*Through it All*

I thank God for the mountains,

and I thank Him for the valleys,

I thank Him for the storms He brought me through.

For if I'd never had a problem,

I wouldn't know God could solve them,

I'd never know what faith in God could do.

-Through it all

This is the view that we get to see everyday out of the front window. The best part is that this picture was taken at 10:30 PM! we are constantly gaining more daylight! I have no problems sleeping through it either, which is great!  I wasn't sure how that was going to work out.

The lyrics I mentioned at the begining is from a song that I have heard a thousand times, but never really caught the words. One day I was randomly listening to songs on youtube, and It came to that verse...It literally stopped me instantly,I just had to listen to it over again...I kept replaying that part! I think that has been the biggest thing I have learned these last few months! I am so thankful for the things God has placed in my life! good and bad! I never looked at my trials as blessings before...I never looked at it as a way God draws us near to him! I love my surrondings because this song always comes to mind when I see the mountains!

I have had to deal with situations that I never thought would come my way and I will continue to face stuff I haven't been through before. I try to protect people by going around the truth, I have made decisions before praying about them, and I have caused  difficult situations to arise.  I am learning each day to trust, have faith and wait for direction!  Thanks to all who patiently allow me to work this out in my life :)

Through it all,

I've learned to trust in Jesus,

I've learned to trust in God.
