 When I awake to a new day, the fresh light, rarely do I stop and wonder at what caused that light to occur.  As I go through my day and the sun gets brighter and I am able to see things in my world I don’t think about what it would be like if I could not see. The light that is present is something I take for granted and notice only when it is absent. On a cloudy day it seems like something is off. When I am in my office all day that has no windows and I don’t have a chance to go outside and be in the sun, I am effected.  And these are just examples of literal exposure to light. When I think about how I was in a dark space in my heart for so many years that after a while I forgot what it was like to connect to the light in my heart.  However, I am convinced that it was the presence of God in my life that kept a little light flickering deep within that kept me from giving up hope.  It was not until the darkness brought me to my knees in surrender that it broke open the darkness for the light to break through and connect with the abundance of light all around me.  Today I notice much sooner when I am in darkness for a long time and I pay attention to how it affects me mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  This is the vigilance that comes with a daily prayer and meditation date with God.  I am invited in our time together to lay before God the elements of my heart where darkness is present and ask, how can I bring light to this and is today the day to do that?
