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
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

Many people would say that Alasa Wiest of Stoughton should not be here today. Not only was she rear-ended by a semi on the Beltline, the truck drove right on top of her vehicle and crushed it. She shares her story, including why she is absolutely convinced that God’s angel – “the man in white” – protected her. She also touches on other key factors in her faith journey.
