Letting your Light Shine

Here s a verse that has been on my heart and mind......

*Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”


A city on a hill cannot be hidden.... that is so true, and who lights a lamp to only cover it up under a bowl?  Makes absolutely no sense to me.  And yet I do it, I make a choice every single day.  Most days I'm not proud of my choices.  I have to ask myself...who is my flame representing when I speak to my family?  Who do I illuminate on social media?  What are my efforts for in this life?  Unstable fame and recognition here on earth or everlasting companionship and life in the hereafter?  It's a no brainier to me in theory, but It's the commitment and the action that makes my human side crumble in defeat most days.  Which is why every single day I have to set my intention, my heart and my mind on letting my light shine for the Lord.  Each day is a new chance to do better then the day before.
Who does your light shine for today?

A Little Prayer for You

Blessing Roll Call

We have had to do a lot of praying and research these last few weeks.  And honestly I am worn down....worn down to the point where my days are just what ever they become.  My expectations are low and my heart is opened wide to receive whatever it is that the Lord has planned for me.  Blessing Roll Call.....This month the Lord has saved my family from contracting something horrid from our filthy bathrooms that haven't been touched with so much as a Clorox wipe in like forever.  He's given me cooler weather and has kept the smoke from local fires to a minimum so I can still go outside and take a few minutes to myself while stuffing my mouth with a GF, vegan muffin.  The sweet Lord has opened my world up a little more and given me some new Friends and support through social media that I wouldn't have had if I waited till Kaden decided that going out of the home was safe and acceptable.  Literally as I lay awake in bed and my Hubby saws logs like a lumberjack I can feel Jesus beside me lulling me to sleep while magically erasing all of my mind clutter.  Thank You Lord....for giving me peace, hope and love.  
Another Day... Another Challenge... Another Prayer... Another Answer... Another Blessing
