After D-now this girl was talking to her mom about it and she couldn't understand why God would put her through so much struggle when she knew he loved her and hated to see anyone of his children hurt! While she was talking to her mom about this and her mom used a metaphor she called mountains and valleys! In this her mom said going to D-now was like being on a mountain top! She was close to God, but she wasn't being tested so to speak, it's coming down in the valleys and putting everything into practice that is the tough part! In other words the mountain is where you want to be, or the good place, and the valleys are the problem sections of your life, the struggles!!! This made it so clear, she finally understood that God put her through those valleys to make her faith and relationship with him stronger!!! He loved her so much that he wanted her to be closer to him! She was so happy she wrote a poem!! Live on a mountain no growth begins. God sends us through valleys to become strong and uses us as tools for the eyes that see us fall and jump back up after a prayer for help! Back on the peak we grow weak and brittle, but we all fall at some point. It all depends on how we return to the peak after the valley!!
She was so glad! She e-mailed her youth pastor! She wanted to tell everyone!! She understood!!
