Light for the Path

It has been the month of eating chocolate bars in an effort to feel better about my life. (I do actually eat other food, so don't worry that I am not well somehow :)  I find myself lost at  times.  And then out of the blue, I see some light.  It came in the form of a hike.

Husband offered to take the six of us out to Columbia Trail.  It was an invitation to whomever might want to come, no demands were made.  It was freeing.  Everyone chose to go and because the choice was theirs it was a hike with great attitudes.

On the way down the trail the sun had set and this was the very last bit of light available before absolute darkness fell on us.  But we had enough light to get to the van.  Just enough.  Not a drop extra.

It seems like that in my world too at the moment.  Psalms 119:105 says it like this: Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.  I have enough light for my feet.  I can't see what is coming so I must keep my eyes trained on the path that I can see.  It is tough.  I believe it will be worth it.  I pray that this time of my life will be used somehow someway for other women who hurt.  You aren't alone.  I'm not either.  I have just enough light to find the chocolate bar  path.
