Peace in the valley

This week has been a tough one on the surface but underneath the surface of all the raging storms of life this week there has been a peaceful calm. It's been like living through some very dark areas but at the same time living above it all. Not like being on the outside looking in but being right in the middle yet above it. I think I have experienced a purpose driven life this week. So much has come crashing into my world. It has all taken me to my knees where I have been lifted up by One who hears the cries of one on their knees. There has been an unexplainable peace in the middle of turmoil. Through it all I've learned to depend upon God's word, His promises. I crave a heart of obedience..
