For this last month and a half I have held onto this picture in my mind. Not only is it a cool picture but there is a story behind it which relates a lot to what I'm about to blog about. It was taken by Josh while we were in Okinawa. I never saw this while we were there but Josh and Nikki did. I was standing beside Nikki and Josh as they looked at it but i missed it completely. That doesn't mean that it wasn't there. It just means that I was focusing on the wrong thing. The reason I like it so much is because it was stormy that day and yet one ray of sunlight is shining through the storm. So many times my life is stormy, but God's light is always shining through like this. If I am focusing on the wrong things then I will miss His light. It doesn't mean that it isn't there. It's always there but what matters is if I acknowledge it's presence even if I can't always see it.

The reason why I'm blogging about this now is because I am going through a storm; a personal storm that is really hard and changing me and pushing me in a direction that I don't want to go in. I know God's light is in this but I'm having a very hard time seeing it and even acknowledging it, but it's still there. If you do read this, please pray for me. God is faithful to answer our prayers if we pray them. I know I need prayer. I can't make it through this storm without your prayers. I want to see God's light shining through, even when everything else is dark.
Thanks.
