Second mile

Yesterday I went to the gym. I was on the treadmill...the first mile was tough ( I had taken a little vacation from running) but the second mile about whipped me. It was exhausting. As I fought through it, I began to think of all the second miles in my life right now. Maybe you are with me. Maybe you have been out of church for a while and the thought of going back seems too hard, maybe you are at church every time the doors are open but you haven't spent time with Jesus in far too long. Maybe you are sick....at first you had the strength that would shake the world but now, you are tired. You have hit your second mile. Hear me friend.....God is not only in your second mile....HE is in your every step. Don't take another one without Him, you are His.

Light

Hi friends - 

Around 3 o'clock this morning, we heard lily crying. Usually if she wakes up in the night she will just come get in bed with us. When john went to get her, he realized that we had not left the bathroom light on. So when she woke up, she was was in the dark.

I layed down with her and as she cuddled up to me I prayed over her heart and mine. I thought about how thankful I am that God never forgets to leave a light on for me. His light may only shine on my very next step, but it does shine. If you feel like you are in the dark this morning, take a breath and look more closely. He is shining His light exactly where You need it most.
