I find it funny how life works sometimes. For a variety of reasons, I had recently come to the personal conclusion that nothing I had been doing had worked out for quite some time and that it was quite likely that nothing was possibly ever going to work out ever again. I was even considering the possibility that maybe the long dreaded nervous breakdown was finally at hand.
Then one experience occurred, from out of the least likely of places, that struck something vital within me. And from that one small thing, my state of mind and being began to change. And from that change began the inspiration for a series of other changes..and suddenly I could once again catch a glimmer of light on the horizon. And the glimmer of light helped me see my way to get up off the ground where I had been laying and spit the dirt back out of my mouth and start walking forward. Although slow...and somewhat off kilter, motion, still. And from those changes I began feeling as if there was a hope for something more, something better once again...a renewed attempt to experience the fullness of living rather than passively allowing life to continue slipping through my fingers.
From within the darkest of dark moments...sometimes there is a spark that is like a brilliant flash of light that suddenly illuminates the path, warms the heart, and strengthens the soul...inviting one to rise up and live again.
I am thankful to the Lord for that light and may God bless the instrument that obediently brought it into my existence.
I Corinthians 1:26-28 KJV
26: For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many might, not many noble, are called:
27: But god hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28: And the base things of the world, and the things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought, things that are.
