Thank You Lindsey. It seems Darkness is on many of our minds these days… and maybe it means that our Light is getting brighter and brighter…

thanks for this … for me the battle is between the "me" I am right now vs. the one I'm praying I'll have the strength to be.

Comparisons are the enemy's way of saying "God could've done better when he created you." That's a big fat lie and one we choose to believe several times a day. It's exhausting trying to keep focused on what's real and true, helpful, positive, light-bearing and God-glorifying – but it's worth it. I dig deep into His word, because there – comparisons are n/a- nothing is comparable to God!

Without the Light you will stumble and fall.

.I certainly have been learning humility and learning more about waiting on Him. Praise God; in my weakness He is strong. There are times in the valley when I lean on God and get victory and times when I give in to flesh and struggle to let go and let God. But He never moves.

Enjoying your blog. Can't wait to see you at Blissdom.

Oh, yes… I'm very good at comparing! And I'm very stubborn, It's not a good mix!

I'm discovering to not let things bother me. To give the benefit of grace to the other person rather than judging that since they cancelled having lunch with me that I'm not important to them, etc. etc.

It's not easy for me to let things go. I expect people to play by my standards and interpret things through what I would do instead of allowing them to be and think differently.

This is why I have said for a long time, social media has been one of the best things for me, but also one of the worst things for me.
I can play the comparison game all day long and feel very small, like my life means absolutely nothing.

I have no formula or secret answer, I struggle, feel depressed, and eventually realize how foolish I am, and that I am feeling sorry for myself. Usually that comes by a nudge from God.

Well, I guess you can see that you're not alone. That is the beauty of transparency.

This reminded me of another revealing post I read earlier this week. It was written by my dear friend, Shelia Mullican (@SMullican). It's entitled "Sometimes I Wish I Weren't Me." You may want to take a look at it.

Thanks so much for opening your heart for us. I love the quote that Christy put up:

Light of my heart, do not let my darkness speak to me. -St Augustine

It may very well speak, but we don't have to agree with with it says.

Love you,

Gail
