❤️ The Heart Behind This Piece

If you are in a valley right now…

If it feels heavy, quiet, or uncertain…

You are not stuck

God sees what you can’t yet see.

He is growing something in you that will bloom in time🌹

One day, you will look back…
and thank Him for the very place you once wanted to leave…..

There was a season when I felt like I was living in the valley.

Every day felt heavy… grey… and lost.
Most days, I felt like I was in the wrong room.
Some mornings felt too heavy to even wake up for.

I thought God had forgotten me…

Until one day, I finally asked Him:

“Why am I still here?”

The answer He gave wasn’t what I expected.

He didn’t say:
“Come out of the valley.”

He said:

“I’m planting seeds.” 🌱

This piece ☝️— Flowers Grow in the Valley was created in that place.

Not on the mountaintop, 🏔️
Not in the sunshine, ☀️

But deep in the valley…
where I was learning how to trust Him.

✝️ The Cross

At the center is the Cross — the anchor of our faith ⚓️

When we center our hearts on Him ♥️,
we get to choose what we water our lives with.

And in that season…

I chose peace. ☮️

🌱 The Seeds

The seeds represent the beginning of something unseen.

Faith being planted deep —
where roots can grow before anything is visible.

🦋 The Butterflies

The butterflies are light-bringers.

People God placed in my life at just the right time —
to help open my heart ♥️ and gently point me back to Jesus.

Some stayed.
Some didn’t.

Some were only meant to land for a moment…
then fly off to spread His love elsewhere. 👐

💐 The Flowers

And the flowers growing on either side…

They are His proof.

That beauty doesn’t come after the valley —
it grows within it.

🎵 The Song

The lyrics below were my lifeline in that season —
a song that felt like God whispering directly to my heart. ♥

So go ahead…

Play the song while you look.
Sit with it.
Let it speak to you.

❤️ The Invitation

Because sometimes the place that feels like the darkest valley…

Is the very place where God is growing something beautiful. 🌼

And if you’re there right now—

You are not lost.

You are being planted. 🌱

🌼 Pass the Heart Forward

If this piece spoke to you, share it with someone who may be walking through their own valley.

Because His love is too good to keep quiet. 💛

Lyrics🎼:

Well, blue skies and hillsides feel so far away
And I wrote in my notebook that I've seen better days✍🏻
Than the ones as of late
I can't bear the weight🙃

The rain won't stop pouring out my windowpane🪟
And I haven't left my bedroom in 76 days
I wish something would change
'Cause I'm losing faith✝️

So I brought it up in a desperate prayer🤲
Lord, why are you keeping me here?
Then He said to me, "Child, I'm planting seeds🌱
I'm a good God and I have a good plan
So trust that I'm holding a watering can💦
And someday you'll see that flowers grow in the valley"

So whatever the reason, I'm barely getting by
I'll trust it's a season knowing that you're by my side
Every step of the way
And I'll be okay👌

'Cause I brought it up in a desperate prayer🤲
Lord, why are you keeping me here?
Then He said to me, "Child, I'm planting seeds🌱
I'm a good God and I have a good plan"
So trust that I'm holding a watering can💦
And someday you'll see that flowers grow in the valley

Mm, mm

When I'm on the mountain and looking down below🏔️
I'll see a valley of flowers that needed time to grow🌼
And I'll thank you for the rain🙌
The hurt and days of pain😩

And I'll bring it up in a grateful prayer
Thank you, Jesus, for keeping me there
You know just what I need, and you've planted seeds
'Cause you're a good God with a real good plan🙏
And you hold my world in a watering can
So I can have peace ☮️ 'cause flowers grow in the valley
