Leading Light

Last night my father and I put up our Christmas lights, on the tallest peak of our house. It began to get dark and of course, since he was over 25' up high on our roof, I thought it would be better to stop and continue this project tomorrow. However he wanted to finish so we stood outside in the dark and continued to adorn our house. The neat part was every time we hooked in another strand of the lights we had enough light to make it to the next strand.
As I watched him from the bottom of the ladder, I thought thats kind of how God works in our life. When we are praying for his will and trying to walk in his will, yet we do not know his will completely, he reveals enough light to keep us going in the right direction.
Since Russell the father of my 3 beautiful children is currently incarcerated in middle Tn. I am a single mom trying to raise these children and living with my parents. I could make my life sound really dark, but because the Lord continues to show me positives that shine light in to my dark path, I can continue to go on.
Let me tell you of the light God has recently set in front of me to lead me on. Although he's incarcerated and has been for almost three months, He has started a bible study. It started with another guy and him then grew to four then twelve, and now last week he led his first person to the Lord. who says God can't shine in the darkness. I believe his light shines the brightest in the darkness. his shows me an example of how God works all things together for good to those who have been called according to his purpose.
