Tonight I planned on writing part 2 of what the Lord showed me yesterday, ya know, light in the dark. Instead I made banana bread, almost blew up our kitchen (don't worry, I still have my eye brows) and am about to go to bed.
The very thing I challenged myself and you readers on yesterday I was faced with today. Would I maintain my light in the dark, shine when it was hard? Being the light isn't being a Christian solely, that is simply step 1. Its obeying whatever God is asking you to do even when you've been wronged, when you are disrespected, being humble, walking in love when its not returned and unnoticed.
So today I had that choice. I could get offended, grumbly, entitled, or option b: let the holy spirit help me. I cant say that I 100% made the right choice and walked it out with flying colors. But I do know that when I felt like I was about to blow it, the Holy Spirit came in to be my helper, just like he loves to do.
The very thing I had prayed this morning, "Lord show me specific ways to be the light" was real. It was hard but he did as he promised and helped me through. Either way, its almost Friday, I have the Holy Spirit, banana bread and our house wasn't leveled when we tried to light the pilot light. I would call that success.
He surely is good.
