Stages!

[MERCY@GRACE]

If youv'e been saved longer than 3 yrs I'm assuming many can relate! Do you ever find yourself in stages in your walk where you feel stale? By that I mean everything is just hum drum. It's hard to grasp that you can come out of a season such as being on a spiritual high,to a spiritual low.

I'm at a season now where I feel God calling me to that mountain top experience again. I think much of my "spiritual" transition happened right after our move a few yrs ago. Ministry opps were scarce,and the "calling" wasn't as strong. Does anyone else recall when they felt like there was more to learn,more to do, but yet you didn't know how to get to point A to point Z? Of course I know the correct answer is "draw nigh to him and he will draw nigh to you"

I'd just like to get a discussion going and this is the perfect forum for it!

Been there many times.....God says there is a time for everything. When hubby and I started the biker ministry it seem as though it would never take off. Now years later it seems to never slow down.
The bible tells us to run the race well, so in order for any one to run a race they have to train and sometimes that training can seem to drag out for ever, but it helps us grow stronger for the course.
There are times I find myself in the valley, but that is where we grow.....

In The Valley I Grow​

​

​

​

​

Sometimes life seems hard to bear​

Full of sorrow, trouble, and woe,​

It's then I have to remember​

..that it's in the valleys I grow.​

​

​

​

If I always stayed on the mountain top​

..and never experienced pain,​

I would never appreciate God's love​

And would be living in vain.​

​

​

​

​

I have so much to learn​

And my growth is very slow,​

Sometimes I need the mountain tops,​

But it's in the valleys I grow.​

​

​

​

​

I do not always understand​

Why things happen as they do,​

But I am very sure of one thing.​

My Lord will see me through​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

My little valleys are nothing​

When I picture Christ on the cross​

He went through the valley of death;​

His victory was Satan's loss.​

Forgive me Lord, for complaining​

When I'm feeling so very low.​

Just give me a gentle reminder​

That it's in the valleys I grow

​

​

​

​

​

​

Continue to strengthen me, Lord​

And use my life each day​

To share your love with others​

And help them find their way.

​

​

​

​

Thank you for valleys, Lord​

For this one thing I know​

The mountain tops are glorious​

But it's in the valleys I grow.​

I remember feeling like this when I read "Hind's Feet on High Places" - after reading this book I wanted a mountain top experience.

yeah I've been there many times,
Have you ever read John eldrege.
His book journey of desire really helped me with understanding the stale times
