When life gets you down....

I know life is full of ups and downs.  Peaks and valleys.  I have been told that it is when you are in the valley that God teaches and instructs you so that you may enjoy the peaks.  What do you do when you feel like you have way more valleys than peaks?  When it seems that everything you touch is a disappointment.   When you are not sure which direction you should go.  What do you do?   For my children, when they are doing wrong, I give them time out.  So is it possible that my valley's are God's time out for me?  If so, I feel I must be a very bad child of God.  But, I will go with it. 

Scripturally God tells us, "I correct and punish those who I love.  So be eager to do right, and change your heart and lives." Revelation 3:19  I believe God allows things to happen to capture our attention or give us a time out.  To help us make better choices.  So when I feel God's time out, I shall ask for his forgiveness, ask him to show me the right way, and move forward with a grateful heart.  Until tomorrow...
