december 12th


In the Advent Calendar Today:

"Read today's Advent Devotion and go shopping for the Ramey boys.
Try to find gifts that can easily be tucked into Todd and Laura's suitcases."

I met a lady at the gym today whose husband lost his job last year.  
She said, "This wasn't the life we planned for."

A friend recently received a terrifying diagnosis. "We are sad and scared," she confesses.

Another family close to our hearts waits and waits and waits for the arrival of their 3 boys from Haiti.  "The big question we always get is, 'so when do you get your boys?' We wish we had an answer to that" (ibelieveinyou).

These were the musings of my morning, when I read today's devotion:

"by paths they have not known, I will guide them" Isaiah 42:16.

How comforting to know that when we fall, scrape ourselves, trip in the dark, bump into a tree, doubt ourselves and God...we are being guided through it all.

"There is a light.  No matter how dark it may become, there is a radiance that will not be denied, that cannot be ignored" (followthestar).

May you know the light, feel it's warmth, on every step of your path today.
