In the Valley

As I reflect on my experience at Indiana Wesleyan University, I recognize I have lived on the mountain top.

Continually I had spirtual moments that have come in the form of class lectures, Summit, chapel, conversations with friends, etc.

I greatly appreciate those experiences because they challenged me to be strong in my faith. And during that time, I wasn't struggling with anything.

I want that back: where I'm rock solid in my faith, a place where I can't be moved from where God has placed me right in the moment. But I know I can't live on the mountain top. I went most of my college career where everything was amazing in my walk with God. I was always growing and living close to His heart.

Now I'm in the valley. I'm tired of pretending I'm still on the mountain where I'm strong in my faith. I'm not.

The mask is off. I can't lie to myself.

I need to just stop and let God rebuild my life. I desperately need Him and His spirit to heal and restore me.

Each day is a step in the direction of healing.

For HIS renown,
