Have you ever felt like there is no light in the path you are traveling thru? I have felt that way many times and even though I am sure there will be some light somewhere, I get scared, very scared. Our Human nature is so simple and yet so complex.

Why are we that way? Only God can answer such question and then again He does not have to. We are all called to do what He has designed us for and yet left us with "free will". I often wonder why would God do such thing. After all, we could have all do what we are supposed to do, no mistakes if we did not have "free will".

There is the key! Without us making the mistakes and stumbling around, there would be no need for His Mercy and Garce. Because We need to have something to hold unto. Because we need the Hope that is only found in Him.

I have been too many times in the shadows of the light but I finally found a way to always face towards the light. What is a lamp if it is hidden from everyone? We miss it all the time and it is not becuase we want to miss it, but because we want to be auto-sufficent and unconciously, end up in the wrong side of the lamp.

Every day I have to open teh shades and windows to let the daylight come in. The same way I sit on my porch sipping my cup of coffee and giving thanks to the Lord for another day. I listen closely to the sounds around me. God caresses me with soft winds and sings to me with music from birds. He even warms me up with a few rays of the sun as they glide under my shade. I just get so excited that I open my Bible and start reading. I take time to pray for everyone in my family and add my co-workers, friends and all the people I know. Sometimes He helps me by bringing the name of someone in need or a picture of the person. I also pray for those I will encounter throughout the day. Yes my list can be big and vast but I try to make it even bigger by adding those who have hurt me the most and then the ones who have hurt me little. Not one escapes. I think that is one of the reasons I am a morning person. Definately by 3pm I can literally say that my brain runs on auto-pilot because I am not myself, lol

Still make the best effort ever because I work until late hours of the night. The greatest thing is knowing that I am not alone and that God is with me every step of the way. It is ok if not one person sees Him next to me. I know He is there! He is my light that shines upon my day and keeps me through the night!

It is so joyful to know you are not alone!
