Yea Though I Walk Through the Valley....

The valley gets steeper and darker....
I will not be offered the position with the paramedic service - not because I didn't do well in the interview - not because they don't want to hire me - but because another candidate has union senority! I knew this was a possibility so it isn't a huge surprise....still disappointing as I have wanted to work for the service for years. It's been all about what I want...time to see what God wants for me.
I am in the "valley of darkness" - yet I declare "I WILL TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST".
Today I saw the Occupational Health Nurse at work - she gave me forms to apply for long-term disability insurance (I don't know how long, long is!). Please pray my claim is accepted so I can have time to really heal and seek not only good medical care but also God's plan for me.

Dear Julie LBM,
Be sure Jesus is the same whether you are on the top of Tabor or in the depths of the valley.
You are as precious to him today as you ever were. You know that, I know. Just thought I'd like to emphasize it. Jesus Christ is yesterday and today the same, yes till time everlasting.
The road is going uphill and downhill. Jesus does not leave you nor forsake you.
Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When my way grows drear
Precious Lord linger near
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When the darkness appears
And the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home.
Your sister Felisol is praying.

Thinking of U Dear Julie

Am sorry your road has been so long and difficult ---

U have a kind and caring heart, this thing I know for sure and that is, that GOD cares for U in such an intimate way

As Hebrews declares " LOOKING UNTO JESUS " -----

Thank you dear Pals. I know I'll get through this with the Lord carrying me and with the prayers of the saints!

Felisol, those are beautiful words - thanks for posting them.
