Shine Today

I just plugged in my outside Christmas lights. It's September 30. And yes, the lights did not get taken down last year (or the year before- Whatever ). I always enjoy looking at Christmas lights. Something about the colors and brightness. It doesn't even need to be a big display, simple is just fine. All the colors glimmering just captivates me. After I plugged mine in, two people text me about life being overwhelming. It is.  I text them back and said  to hold on to the truth that even when you can't see or feel it, God is right there. He is. The bible says He never leaves us. Knowing this doesn't make sense though as life often doesn't seem fair, and sometimes it's just overwhelming.   One person mentioned not knowing who they are anymore and the other said they will just stay in a cave.

First I bumped a lid to a pot and it shattered, then 2 days later I dropped a plate with food on it and it broke (see my pics on my facebook). Honestly I wanted to cry. Not because I broke things, but because I broke things, make sense? Whe...
