Faith in the Light

"Let the day be darkness! May God above not seek it, nor light shine upon it"
Job 3:4

    

     In this photo my son Joseph and I are on an airplane returning from an interview retreat that he attended.  He was interviewing for a missionary organization called NET Ministries. If you have never heard of them I ask that you please CHECK THEM OUT! http://www.netusa.org  The experience was life changing for the both of us. 

     The photo of the sky in the distance is above the clouds. We were about ten minutes from the airport. It is hard to believe but just below the clouds it was dreary, sleeting, foggy and dark.

      I am confident that this gift of a moment was given to sustain Joseph and I. This image reminds us of the joy we experienced that weekend.  There is much work to be done in my relationships.  There are times that are so difficult to be the wife and mother I want to be. It is necessary at these times to remain humble. I find great hope through acknowledging that I do not see through the difficulties without the joy of the Gospel.

      Only when I surrender and accept the struggles of this life do I embrace the gift of faith.  The gift of faith brings great joy and hope into my life.  I am then able to imagine the beauty beyond the clouds.
