It’s been a really rough month for me, for various reasons…discontentment…feeling extremely unsettled…etc. (there have been amazing things, of course–I’m not discounting those parts of the past month!) And it has really taken its toll spiritually. Last week, especially, I felt so dry, so desperate for the “living water” of the Lord…

And last night, as I was driving home from a church council meeting, a song came on the radio that I have heard many times, and it really just struck me. Here are the lyrics. It doesn’t matter how I feel–I have a choice to worship the Lord, and it doesn’t matter what is going on in my life. It’s either that I choose to worship Him, or I choose to walk away, in a sense, and focus on other things. He is the Creator of ALL things, the One who gave His life for me–and He deserves my love and worship!!

I need to remember the message of this song daily, for awhile, as I seek to get out of this “valley”–a valley I’ve traveled in for about a year now…

…and I feel better today than I have felt in a long while…more at peace…happier…and more content…

Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to hear that song yesterday…it was just what I needed.
