"When God seems to be blowing out your candle and making your room all dark," I once heard, "it could be He wants you to throw open the shutters because He has some secret light from Heaven for you to see."
Would you pray with me for my sister Janice's daughter-in-law Shannon who'll be having cancer surgery at 11 AM tomorrow?
She has 3 little ones at home--the youngest was born last year, just before my Stateside trip--and I'm sure that family's "room" is pretty dark right now.
But they've given testimony before the church of their trust in God in all of this. We are waiting to see how He'll work through the whole situation.
When I was in Iwatsuki, I remember taking a picture of what looked like plain ol' beetles in the daylight. It was only when it got dark and I saw another "plain ol' beetle" spread his wings then...glow from the tail I realized it was a firefly! But the delightful charm of the insect didn't show itself until the darkness came!
I wonder if the Lord is letting the darkness descend on Shannon and her family right now? Please pray the Heaven's light would shine delightfully brightly through them too!
