I want to be a light..

 So this song is by Addison Road whom I love and I have been meaning to share it for a while now but haven't had the chance to sit down and write anything...

There's a little flame inside us all
Some shine bright, some shine small
The rains will come and the waters rise
But don't you ever lose your light
In this life you will know
Love and pain, joy and sorrow
So when it hurts, when times get hard
Don't forget whose child you are
Chorus:
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine, gonna let it shine
 

May you live each day with no regret
Make the most of every chance you get
Let your eyes get wide when you look at the stars
With the same sense of wonder as a child's heart

With the ones you love treasure the time
And for those who are gone keep their memories alive
Hold on to your dreams don't ever let go
There's a fire inside you burning with hope
Chorus:
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine, gonna let it shine

There will be days when you want to give up
When the clouds settle in
But after the rain comes the sun
Don't you ever forget
One day there will be no more pain
And we will finally see Jesus' face
So until then I'm gonna try
To brave the dark and let my little light shine
Chorus:
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine, gonna let it shine
There's a little light inside us all 

We have now been in Louisville for about a month and so far I love it. I love working at Chikfila, I love having our own place, I love getting to be around Jess and Robbie again, I love our church, there are just so many things that I love about being here, granted it has had its ups and down but for the most part I just LOVE being here and I know this is right where God wants us.

We live in an apartment complex that most people wouldn't consider "the best" and at first I didn't either and I mean its still not the best. But once you get to know the people they are really nice and all love Morgan of course. I am continually learning that I must love people the way Christ loves us. There are so people around Morgan and I EVERYDAY that I just want to love and be a light too. I think that' s what I like this song so much because it hits home to now for me. I want to be a light. There are people I see everyday that our lost in this dark world and going to hell. I want to be the light for them. I want them to see a difference in me and my family and I want them to want to know what it is. I don't want to be scared to talk to them about Christ because of what they may think, instead I want to be bold in my manner of life and scared for them to spend eternity in hell. I want to be a light.  Sometimes I think I need to get to know them better before I talk to them about Christ, but I don't and I know that, its just another excuse not to do it. And that is so selfish of me to think that at any given time of the day any of us could die and if its not me then I will be left here thinking why I didn't I tell them I saw them everyday. I want to be a light to them. I want to love them unconditionally no matter their race, their attitude, the sexuality, the way they talk, or act or dress, or even if I think they are weird or that they may never talk to us again who cares, they all need Jesus no  matter any of that. I want to be a light.

So that is my prayer, that I will be a light to the people I come in contact with everyday. That I will have the boldness to tell them about Christ. I want to be a light.  I will be a light. 

And if you think about it, please pray for me with this. And I will pray for you as I know there are people yall see everyday that yall can be a light to as well.
