Hello everyone! It’s been such a long, beautiful week, with many entries bringing fire. Kudos to the team that keep this community growing @lordbutterfly, @silentscreamer and @verbal-d for always bringing life to this party.

I decided to share my latest favorite song, Flowers by Samantha Ebert. It feels like a soliloquy for those moments when you're at your lowest, and somehow, the music speaks to me. I’m not quite at my lowest, but I find myself at a crossroads, and it’s been overwhelming at times. In the midst of it all, I often turn back to my journals, reminding myself that God’s faithfulness never wavers, and this season is no exception. So here’s to the valleys and flowers—the peace, the beauty, and the growth they bring 🥂.

PS: I’m now a graduate 💅🏽😌.

Till later! ❤️

¡Hola a todos! Ha sido una semana larga y hermosa, con muchas entradas llenas de pasión. Felicitaciones al equipo que sigue haciendo crecer esta comunidad: @lordbutterfly, @silentscreamer y @verbal-d, por siempre traer vida a esta fiesta.

Decidí compartir mi canción favorita más reciente, Flowers de Samantha Ebert. Se siente como un soliloquio para esos momentos en los que estás en tu punto más bajo, y de alguna manera, la música me habla. No estoy en mi punto más bajo, pero me encuentro en una encrucijada, y a veces puede ser abrumador. En medio de todo, suelo volver a mis diarios, recordándome que la fidelidad de Dios nunca falla, y esta temporada no es una excepción. Así que brindemos por los valles y las flores, por la paz, la belleza y el crecimiento que traen 🥂.
PD: ¡Ahora soy graduada 💅🏽😌!
¡Hasta luego! ❤️

**Lyrics / Letras **

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 window pane
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

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 and a watering can
So I can have peace 'cause flowers grow in the valley

I feel like Vibes Week 20 is just filled with musical gems and this is definitely no exception to that “understatement”. Your voice is so serene and mesmerizing and you present to us a fantastically deep and meaningful song that speaks to the soul on a spiritual level. I really like the message of God in this song and it speaks of the love He has for us. And how we have to keep our faith strong because our Heavenly Father knows what’s best for us, even if we fail to see it or are blind to His protection and nurturing of us. Thank you for this gift of music. So glad to have your entry this week.

You nail the exact feeling I had singing this song. I've been on the song for over a month now and I visited my journals remembering every little detail of how He takes care of me even in the moments of doubt. That helps me to be grateful at all times. Thank you so much @verbal-d and great work this week! Have a lovely week, blessings 😊
