Yesterday was a long day
It began with light revealing the darkness in my life
It was painful yet healing has begun.
It’s amazing how through the pain,
You can find peace and restoration.
Yes, I will get back up and walk again.
I rose very early this morning,
found myself writing a letter to my best friend.
Something that needed to be done.
Yet, part of my painful day yesterday.
I have no idea what will come of it,
but it had to be written.
Written out of love, concern
in hopes of bringing light.
Space, is what has been requested of me.
The glimmer of hope?
That forgiveness will be granted.
Yet again.
How I hate falling on my face.
God help me to learn for the last time.
Alone, I can not.
During my early alone time with the Lord,
He brought me to these verses.
Ephesians 5:8, 11, 13-17
“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.”
Light….
Having no fellowship with unfruitful works of darkness…
Reprove them…
Awake from your sleep….
Walk not as a fool, but wisely….
Understand what the will of the Lord is….
Walk in the Light which comes from Christ…..
The will of the Lord for me right now….
Learn to be content,
Respect my husband
(especially his authority & his hard work)…..
Thankful for forgiveness
and working on walking in the Light….
Pressing Forward in the Race Set Before Me,

Contentment can be such an elusive thing…I pray for strength through Christ for you as you pursue these things.

Thank you for your prayers…Contentment seems to be wrapped up in so many things. One step at a time
