light.

I feel like I've been MIA lately with this blog, but it has been a busy few weeks. From weekly clubs to skiing in Colorado to a long lake weekend with the 13, it has already been a great 2010. Hannah has been on TV (and did amazing... here is the link: http://www.hgtv.com/videos/kidfriendly-living-space/48584.html ) and Laura has gotten engaged. Big year ahead for us!

One of my favorite new things of this year is a small group I am in on Thursday nights. Over 30 girls meet together in a home to hear the truth. It has been awesome, and I have already learned so much. I was apprehensive about joining because it would involve me giving up the only night I have free during the week. However, I also know I need to be challenged and held accountable for things in my life. I need Godly community. So I joined.

I read the other morning this quote, and I pray this for my life... "His goodness is to be our experience even when surrounded by things that do not speak of His goodness." We have talked lately about being a daughter of the light. Darkness is disorienting and I have felt that lately, so this teaching has been so relevant to exactly where I am. I have chosen at times darkness over His light and way, and it is so damaging when I do that because I'll miss seeing His goodness.

My prayer for my life is to wake up and dwell in the expectancy to see the Lord's goodness.
