Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too. Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway. We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20. We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
In reading Stormie Omartian's book......"Just enough light for the step I'm on" sure says a lot for us.
She says in one of her chapter's the following; Whenever we go through difficult times, we anticipate the coming moment when all the pressure is off, the worry has subsides, the healing has manifested, the sadness has lifted, and the pain is gone. We continuously look for God to take away the discomfort we are experiencing. But God wants us to know that even as we wait for those changes to happen, His light is there all the time shining into our darkness. He wants us to trust that, and open our eyes to see it.
The Bible says in Revelation 21:23; "The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is the light.
Just as we trust the light of that one candle to show us the way step by step we must trust Christ to show us the way, step by step. After all, He is our Light! And He is ENOUGH light for the step we're on regardless of how hard that next step may be.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy

ReplyDeleteGreat analogy Cindy. I don't read a whole lot but actually read that book when she first came out with it as I was going through a difficult season in my life. Your post has been a great reminder for me. Connie Royals

This is a great reminder that, although we may not be able to see God's big picture, we just need to trust him as we take one step at a time. Have a great week, my friend!

OMG! I thought power went out only, (and just sometimes) in third world countries. Anyway, we have a power motor in our building...BUT, yes God is my main light, so I don't care when it goes away and there were no power motor in the past either, but God has been there, shining to me, my family and all of us!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this inspiring post.

I have been through those seasons of step by step light more than once in my life. It seems that the older I get, the more frequent they are. I love the picture you drew from the candle. You are so right, and God is so faithful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Stormie's quote today. It was perfect for a dear friend who is going through a horrific place. I've shared it with her and trust it encourages her today!
