Welcome to part two of my spiritual journey, The Valley. I feel like I have been in the valley, and the shadow of death has been lurking, waiting to ambush me. It has been a scary yet enlightening journey. I am learning that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever more. He remains with me even in the valley and protects me from dangers seen and unseen. This season is critical, and I am not rushing to get out. I embrace this process, and I'm learning how to have joy, even in the Valley.
