The pathway is broken and the signs are unclear
And I dont know the reason why you brought me here
But just because you love me the way that you do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If you want me to

Cause I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise
You're not through with me yet
So if all of these trials
Bring me closer to you
Then I will go through fire if you want me to

It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world thats not my home
But you never said it would be easy
You only said Id never go alone
Yeah oooh oh.

So when the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear you answer my cries for help
I'll remember the sufferin' Your love put You through
And I will go through the valley
If you want me to.

~ Ginny Owens, If you want me to

strangely enough i heard this when i was listening to fan-compiled Roswell Soundtrack... and the 1st person i thought of was You, Lord...

It's really strange that i decided to listen to the Roswell OST on the way home... today marks the start of block break weekend.. aka we have no PBL this weekend... *leaps in the air*

on my way home.. with that song in my head (i didn't think a Christian song would be on the Roswell OST and though i've heard this song before.. i never really REALLY listened to the lyrics.. it just seems so apt that God chose to open my ears today) i was so so struck that God really is everywhere.. in nature (glorious spring and sunshine).. in the people i meet (Aaron, CG pple) .. i am truely blessed... and the fact that He chose to reassure me of this near to my exams... when life should be all about stress and work... just reminds me how He should be put 1st...

when i came home.... just listening to this song not only made me tear... but really showed me once again how much Jesus loved us to suffer for our sakes... if He would go through hell (quite literally) just for us... shouldn't we all be prepared to do the same thing for Him?

I told Ash that i feel like God is opening my mind.. i can remember things i never thought i remembered in the 1st place.... Ash then said something really strange... well at least i thought it was strange at the time... he said... maybe he's giving you more time for Him....

i thought that's weird.. i thought He did that cos it was an answer to my prayer... and His way of saying there's a time for everything.. then it occured to me that we all tend to get stressed and troubled when it comes to exams that we are all exams... and too tired for God.. to hear His word... the worship Him in song.... and that shouldn't be the way... so thanks Ash... you really made me see what God's MAIN purpose was.. the fact that i remember stuff.. is just a v good by-product..... hee...

But just because you love me the way that you do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If you want me to...
