Well the other day I had a very vivid dream, I can't remember but a second of it but I remember waking up with a flood of thoughts. I was talking to a man in my dream and he was encouraging my to share my faith. In the dream he told me that God uses us to channel the light. So I woke up and thought God is the Light, We did an entire study on this, this spring in Small Group and Church. But that morning as I was lying in bed it hit me really hard. What have I done to share the light? What have I done to embrace the light? To appreciate the light? I have so many blessings but what am I doing as a child of God to pass them on to others?
I recently read a book by Renee Swope called " A confident Heart" and I will admit I may have only read the first two chapters. (ugh, I really mean to read it all - I about jumped up and down when I heard about it on a friends blog! I NEED to read it!) regardless even in the very first few pages it spoke volumes to me. Loosely she was talking about her struggles with confidence and how she was in a dark place in her life. She said she realized that she could only see these shadows because she had "turned away from The Light." It is so simple and obvious but I need to remind myself of that A LOT!
Since we have moved to Montgomery I feel like I have really turned around, but I don't feel like I am at a point where I can full on face the light, I am standing there sideways turning my head back and forth at my convenience. I have met some truly inspiring Women at Saint James and am proud (excited) to call them friends!
So then I started thinking about when people are really happy they are referred to as Beaming or Glowing. How awesome is that if we really were reflecting the light so much that others noticed and commented on it! New Goal!
