Father, Let your light shine down on me

I have been doing some running again (more on that in a minute). But this morning during my run I was listening to my "chrisitan" play list instead of my usual "peruvian running" play list. And while I was running this one long stretch the song, Let you light shine by Bethany Dillon, came on and the lyrics are so powerful. I encourage you to look at them. Our Heavenly Father did, is doing, and will do so much for us. How can we begin to fathom all of that? Sometimes I think instead of trying to figure it our we should just bask in that light. Enjoy who He is and what He is to us! We should let HIS LIGHT shine down on us.
Matthew 5:14-15 says, "You (insert name) are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but in the lampstand, and it gives light to all that are in the house."

This picture was taken in Cajamarca, Peru during a trip I took for a friend's wedding.I like how the light shines on this one spot. Are you that one light spot on a hill amongst those in the dark? Is God's promise rainbow radiantly shining above you? Too often I find myself blending in with the gray shadows of life. Conforming to the world. I, however, desire to be the city on the hill with my Father's light shining down on me wherever I am. It is hard, but I know with HIS help and with the surrounding of other believers I can be that light! Hallelujah to our KING! As you go about your day doing new exciting things, or even those monotonous daily routines, think about how His light is shining upon you.

Sarah Skid and I have been running 5k's recently. Well, we ran one and are running towards our second on the 20th of this month! What joy, I am so thankful God gave me legs to run with and a friend to push me on! Here we are at our first race with Sarah's friend Sarah.

 We are planning a race in May to raise money for CRS. More to be posted on that later!
