Mountain or Valley ?

Yesterday at church the fill in pastor had a great message. He talked about how in life there are moments that you are on the mountaintop and life is going great and you don’t think it could get any better. Then there are times that you are in the valley and life is terrible, and you don’t think it could get any worse. When you are on the mountaintop it is like you know God’s hand has a place in that part of your life. For me I’ve been in the valley and I thought I would never live through it. I was so down on myself and I thought I would never get out of the valley or even close to it. After a few months of struggling and never giving up and just trying to find happiness, it finally happened. Now I’m on top of the mountain and I know I might fall back off of it again, I actually know I will at some point in life. It seems that the more you struggle and the more hurt and pain you go though gives you a better appreciation when you are on the top of the mountain.
