Joy in the Valley

Our lives were never intended to be under the obligation of the ways of this world. Even in grief. Inspired by the 84th Psalm and the Valley of Weeping.

It's a constant in life that we are never prepared for. Grieving your loved one may feel like life's most difficult, endless storm. A hopeless valley. The world and people make demands through it, and you long for answers but can't seem to see beyond the storm.

It's easy to go through the motions and say cliches, but grief is unique to everyone, and it can be easy to feel alone.

Yet there is another constant: God knew grief first. He walked through the deepest part of it. This world will do everything it can to take your focus off of hope. This is everything the author wished she had known going through grief and her journey in discovering God's heart through it.
