Before & After

Tossed by the wave
Lost in the desert
Struggling up the mountain
Stumbling through the dark valley
Stuck in sinking sand
Paralyzed by fear
Bogged down with worry
Crippled by discouragement
Grasping for hope

And then I called on the name of Jesus and I am ...

Safe in the lifeboat
Drinking at the Oasis
Standing on the mountain top
Holding a candle in the darkness
Grasping an outstretched hand
Released from fear
Anxious about nothing
Infused with encouragement
Saturated in hope!

As I crawl under my quilt I will thank my Father for the gift of Christ and what a difference He has made in my life!
