Light at The End of the Tunnel


I absolutely LOVE this concept!

If this doesn't give you hope, I don't know what would! (Wait... probably many other things... haha!)


There are times in our lives where it may seem as though progress isn't being made. It just feels as if we are moving one step forward, and taking TEN steps back. That we're walking in circles endlessly. Mistakes have been made. Disappointments have come. Dark days have made their presence. Being hard on ourselves is just the beginning. 

In these moments, we are given reminders and experiences that lead us closer to the light. Step by step. Think about the times when things started to turn around. When you started to believe that it wasn't the end. Where a glimpse of hope became clear. What emotions came over you? What was going through your mind? What changed? 

I have experienced dark times. Times where everything seemed to be falling apart. Times where I hit my lowest and could barely get up. Times where I could barely keep my head held high. Times where my heart was so broken that life seemed unbearable. Times where I shouted to God, "What is going on?" or "Why is this happening to me, especially now!". When these questions are asked, sometimes even demanded, God answers me with this: 
      
     "Girl, first of all, calm down. Do you realize who created you? Do you realize what you are capable of? Can you even comprehend how much love I have for you? I'm right here. I always have been. Come to me and see what I can do. Trust that I know what I am doing. Take a step into the darkness and that is when light will come."

       

     Tender mercies are real and they are for each and every one of us. Tender mercies and miracles are evidence of our love from our Heavenly Father, which is unconditional. They allow us to remember why dark times are necessary for our growth and spiritual progression. They prepare us for our future trials. You're ready for what comes next. Then, before you know it, you're at the end of the tunnel where light is waiting for you. You made it. How glorious of a feeling that is.

Becoming A Woman of God

There have been several times in my life where God has shown me who He truly wants me to be. That is a woman of God. I've caught a g...
