Light in the darkness

Raise your hand if you have ever faced a trial in your life. I bet everyone reading this could raise their hands for more than one time in their lives they have faced something bad. It hurts, it’s not fun, it’s not how we had planned our lives, but sometimes God stops us right in the middle of our plans to create something better.

I don’t know about you but I have been having to limit my time on social media lately. It seems like every time I hit a social media app, something negative pops up on the front page. I think to myself, “Why does it have to be this way?” “Why as a nation are we having to face this crisis?” Honestly,  I do not have any answers but I know the ONE who does.

Everyday I have to remind myself that God is bigger than anything I face. God is bigger than my fears, my doubts, and my worries. As has hard it is for some people to understand, it is true. God is bigger than the Coronavirus. I believe in my heart that God has plan, even when things seem bleak. God has a plan even when I have no clue what He is doing. He is always working and always making a way for His people.

I want to encourage everyone reading this to shine your light. God doesn’t want us to sit quietly. He wants us to encourage, help people, and show His love. I want to be someone that sees the LIGHT, even in the mist of total darkness.

It is Easter week. Jesus was praised, hung on a cross to die, and rose all in ONE week. If you don’t believe that He can change our lives and circumstances in a week, then I would ask you “Where is your faith?” He is still in the miracle working business!

I am praying every chance I get for people suffering in our country right now. I am praying for my students, my family, and my friends. I am asking you to join me in prayer. Shine a light in the darkness this week. Fill your hearts and minds with positivity. Be the Light that Jesus wants you to be!

P.S. I saw this picture on Pinterest. I am using it as my reminder to BE THE LIGHT in the mist of all the darkness.
