If You Want Me To

In March I started to blog as a way to express my feelings about this path that God has taken me on and through it all I have been at complete peace, because I knew I was/am walking center in His will. That doesn't mean that I don't have times to utter sadness about leaving and I don't question why this has to be, but like the song says, "I'm gonna walk through the valley, if You want me to." In just a few days my time as a teacher will be up, I don't know if this is a permanent closure or if its just for a season. I don't know what my next job will be or were it will be. I don't know about finances. Wouldn't it be easy if God had road signs saying, "Trisha your next turn will be here and you destination will be this?" With all of the things that I don't know this is one thing that I do know, I am making the choice to believe that God will lead me to His perfect will, God has/is/will ALWAYS be in control of my life and nothing that is happening is apart from His will.


"If You Want Me To"

The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I don't 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 the fire
If You want me to

It may not be the way I would have chosen
When You lead me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'll never go alone (yeah oh 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

When I cross over Jordan, I'm gonna sing, gonna shout
Gonna look into your eyes and see you never let me down
So take me on the pathway that leads me home to you
And I will walk through the valley if you want me to

Yes, I will walk through the valley if you want me to
