These are my trials. These are my tribulations...Overwhelming obstacles faced, and with courage, overcome! Good and bad situations experienced, in gladness and sadness. Heartaches suffered in confusion and frustration. Love betrayed. Trust abused. Beliefs twisted and distorted. Hope lost.

In my depression, I didn't have the strength to defend myself; I was fearful and filled with anxiety, but they never cared! Not enough to stop what they were doing to me. Emotional and psychological abuse is the worst torture a person can go through because it leaves scars that don't heal - Nobody sees them, but they're there...I don't know how many years I have left, but I want to enjoy them! I have spent too many living in a lion's den, or zoo, in comparison to these negligent people.Don't cave to the negative influences of other people.

Janet Johnson found herself in a handful of these valleys within the span of twelve months. In December 2021, Johnson, her husband, and many of their extended family were diagnosed with COVID. She survived, but her husband passed away just three days after Christmas. In 2022, Johnson traveled to Alaska where she broke her ankle while traversing Flattop Mountain, fell in love a man who broke her already shattered heart and ended the year with a second COVID diagnosis. Climbing Out of Unexpected Valleys: Death, Rescue, Romance, Deceit is a personal memoir that is both beautifully raw and astonishingly eye-opening. Johnson reflects on the valleys she slipped into, but also how her faith and belief in God helped her climb out of them.

This is a true story of raising awareness to what and who the Enemy can manipulate to cast the children of God into valleys.
