I was in chapel today and during one of the songs, the projector was showing dark clouds and then, all of a sudden,
the sun shone through those dark clouds.
Inspiration hit me to write down my next thoughts and they went something like this:
No matter how dark it gets, or how lost you feel, God's light will ALWAYS shine through. It pierces the darkness. Have you ever thought about how a roach lives? Roaches live in darkness; when you turn a light on, they scatter. Just like roaches, darkness scatters when light hits it. So fill you life with light- let it pierce through the darkest parts of your life.
When you feel your light start to waiver, think of a flashlight. When the batteries start to run down, you either get a new flashlight and shine it also, or you replace the batteries. Well God's light is an unending source of batteries for your life- you just have to let Him get into the dark places of your life/heart.

adventures and lessons learned
These past few months have been quite the adventure, to say the least.
I took my first road trip to Rhode Island to a conference to see if I wanted a job working for Cru, I fell more deeply in love than ever before, I got to catch up with friends both old and new (and I made a few friends too).
The trip to Rhode Island had its up and downs. There was an incident with a dead mouse in a hotel room, I got to eat in a Godfather-style sub shop, and I got to meet some amazing people that I hope to keep in contact with. I would not take that trip back for the world, and I will always remember it. While I haven't made up my mind yet on whether I want to work for Cru full-time (that's another story), I am honored and thankful that I got the chance to go.
Since I last wrote, many things in my life have changed. They're just little changes, ones that even I didn't notice until recently.
I have learned to not hold hatred in my heart and what it is like to have someone in your life that you love, but they are attached to someone who did wrong to you. It's a scary thing to let someone go, knowing that you have to move on, wishing you could go back to the way things were. But looking forward makes for much happier moments.
On Thanksgiving, I got a little piece of my grandma back for a few hours. My uncle picked up my great-aunt, who happens to have been my Grandma's identical twin (only their voices were different). So for a few hours, it was like having my Grandma back. It's been a little more than eleven years since she died, but having a piece of her, even for those few hours, was the one thing I was most thankful for.
It doesn't matter what it is, how big or small it is, but as we go from Thanksgiving to Christmas, I want to know what has meant the most to you- What are you most thankful for this season?
