God allowed me to walk through several years in the valley of the shadow of death and now that I’m on the other side of it, I believe He had my good in mind. I believe He taught me things in the valley that I could never have learned on the mountaintop. I believe that He wanted to prove to me that I truly am never alone, though I felt it many times. I believe He wanted to teach me that my feelings do not equate truth. So my season of depression is over for now; however, the anxiety can creep in, often unannounced, and leave me reeling. Sometimes the fear is so thick that I just know if I reach out my hands I can touch it. Sometimes the fear and anxiety keep me awake at night. This verse in particular has helped me immensely through this journey so much so a tattoo was in order. #psalm23 #youarewithme #herestoresmysoul #mycuprunnethover #iwillfearnoevil #youarewithme #ilacknothing #overcome #newbeginnings #nextstep #believe #church #newlife #freshstart
