Sitting here listening to my new country obsession Hunter Hayes (me liking country was not part of my plans for life) while the oven preheats, and I just can't nail down a thing to write about. I can think of at least five! Here's my attempt to let you in on the past week and try to connect the dots somewhere along the way. Stay tunned.
Light.
Hiding an alterior motive, I asked my dad what he thought it meant if a person saw a light surrounding someone. Being a minister I thought he'd have some insight. Well like usual I couldn't squeeze much out of my dad, so I was left with the interpretation of my first few thoughts.
I was just doing my job on a typical afternoon (restuarant) when one of the cooks (I love them all!) asked if he could tell me something that might sound strange. He then told me that sometimes while I am working he sees a light around me. Like I'm glowing. What!?!? First off, that's really cool. I can't explain to you what it meant or why God revealed that to him, but this is what it meant to me.
I had struggled with believing I was really being a light in the workplace. Something I struggled with at my last job. I sometimes felt that if I wasn't having any spiritual conversations or helping people with their lives than I wasn't making an impact. Then I would remember what a friend and former racer told me, (Paul Bell anyone?) if you carry the Holy Spirit inside you, your presence alone changes a room when you walk into it. Power and light. So there you have it. I was encouraged in the coolest way! Better than I could have come up with. Remember, in everything you do, do it for God's glory and you shine.
Matthew 5:16 "In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
