Let there be....... Have you ever been in a totally pitch-black room where it seems as if there are things everywhere? Even when you know where everything is or where it was the last time you saw it, if the place is pitch-black, everything feels different. In a pitch-black room you stretch out your arms because you expect to crash into a wall or a piece of furniture. Even in a familiar place, once the lights go out you expect something to jump out and attack you. In other words, in the darkness, you expect to get hurt. There are times in life when you can expect to be in the darkness, when you will not be able to see what is directly in front of you or what is over in the corner. In these times, you must rely on your instincts and your memory. You must also realize that you are not in control - God is! When you find yourself in the darkness of an unfamiliar experience, do not fight God for control! Do not grope, grab or swat off imaginary demons. Rather than shielding yourself from the expectation of pain surrender! Drop your hands to your side. Take a long deep breath. Concentrate on one thing that you know. Remember that God love you and will protect you no matter where you are. Remember that what you can't see, God can! When you invoke the light of God to lead you and protect you, you will miraculously be able to see the way in or a new way out. Until today, you may have been frightened by the darkness of your past, the unknown future of the difficulty of the present. Just for today, move faithfully through those experiences in which you cannot see what is to come. Affirm to yourself, "Let there be light! Let there be light in my heart. Light in my mind. Light in all of my experiences!" Today I am devoted to standing firm in the knowledge that God will light the blind spots in my mind and in my life! ____________________________________________ One thing comes to mind.. Thy words are a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.... May you see and feel the Light today.. Peace all.. Smile..  It's a brand new day! Gina  ___________ Find the humor each day holds....

This is awesome... I've spent many hours in the 'dark'... I used to fight it with all my might... But the demons (in my mind) always won... Imagine my surprise... When I discovered that in the midst of the Darkness... I could find my way and the Light (of God)... I no longer fight when I feel the spirit of depression... I just 'go with the flow' and know that I will find the Answer... Patience and Faith... Peace, RoseMary
