The words to my niece, Ginny Owens, song "If You Want Me To", come to mind:
If You Want Me To
Songwriters: Matthews, Kyle David; Owens, Ginny
The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I don't know the reson 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
No Im 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 the 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
So when the whole world is against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put me through
And I'll go through the darkness if You want me to
When I cross over Jordan, 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 go through the valley
If You want me to
Yes, I will walk through the valley if You want me to

Thank you so very much for enlisting prayer support and encouragement for me. You don't know how special you are to me, and I can only wish that I could give you a big hug in real life. The internet is a wonderful thing, because it has blessed me with a friend like you. Love to you!
And, how cool that Ginny Owens is your niece! I have loved her music since I was in college at OBU and she did a concert there.
Thank you for the kind words spoken on my blog. I have been too sick to post regularly and believed that I had lost all but a handful of faithful visitors. I needed that bit of encouragement you left today. I think I am going to post this song on my blog. It fits exactly the prayer of my heart. May God hold you close and bless you and those you love.
