“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day…above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darks of the wicked one.” Ephesians 6:13&16 NKJV
“All writing is in a sense a prayer – a sending out of hope, a thanksgiving, acelebration, a song sent into the wind that we hope someone will hear.” Quote by Georgia Heard
Writing the words scored on our hearts happens for me in the quiet places of life. In the uninterrupted times when the house is asleep or the rare days of gardening outside in the light.
Raking pass the clutter of the “to do’s”…
Stepping into the ideas, dreams and stories my heart longs to share.
Cutting away the weeds of negativity…
Not listening to the trash talk, “Your not good enough,” or “No one else will care to read.”
“Weeds were wrapped around my head.” Jonah 2:5
Uncovering a nugget of truth.
It takes persistence to break open the time…
Once opened, beauty blooms upward toward the light renewing the passion planted deep inside one’s soul.
“In hope believed.” Romans 4:18
Let it not be said of me, she didn’t find the time to write, to embrace her destiny for if she passes by her heart’s desire as “…a song sent into the wind…”
“I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” Luke 19:40 NKJV
“Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.” Luke 1:45 NKJV
“Like an open book, You watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before You, The days of my life all prepared before I’d even lived one day.”Psalm 139:15 TM
Today begins the lighting of the first of nine candles celebrating Hanukkah.
Thinking on how this applies to my life as a Christian it occured to me the miracle of the light that shines in me because of the Holy Spirit (the oil) I can partake of Hanukkah in the spiritual by sharing the Light.
A word of encouragement to a co-worker who has lost hope in their situation. A prayer with a friend fighting a battle of sickness. A kind word of caring to a neighbor who is experiencing their first Christmas after the loss of a spouse or a child.
Surely in prayer and asking, the Father will light a new candle every day and cause His light to shine in darkness.
Celebrating and lighting the first candle of Hanukkah – Day One.
“Let your light so shine…and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 NKJV
