Sometimes darkness will shed light............

Last week we had some bad storms come through here and knock the power out. We were without power for about 27 hours. In that time everyone complained about not being able to use their devices. I even got mad about not being able to blog! Well when the power came back we gave Progress Energy a standing ovation.

Then I got a thought and today after my crazy morning, I want to share.
Sometimes we are placed in darkness in order to see the light. We often take for granted all that we have,not realizing it can be snatched away in an instant. When I used to go places that required a lot of walking I often said," I'm tired of walking". I said it so much that little walks made me tired too. Well one day I couldn't walk, and that day turned into weeks, and months. It was then that I realized how much I missed being mobile. Nothing sucks worse than not being able to go where you want to go when you want to go!

Three years ago I was delivered the news that I had a disorder  called psuedeo-tumor cerebrie. Sad part was they didn't tell me what it was, they just gave it to me. I later found out that if not treated I can loose my sight. Seems like everytime I went to the doctor after that, the found something new. My last visit ended in, "I'm afraid you are going to die if we don't find out what's wrong with you".
Well, I'm not sure how I even got to this point,but at the end of the day, no one is going to tell me when my time is up! I know two things in life are certain, we will live and we will die, but no one is going to tell me how to do either one!

I work up this morning feeling bad, Bubba said " At least you had a break". And he was right. Battling and unknown is hard work,but knowing God can bring you out makes it a lil bit easier. See I can deal with a few power outages in my life because I know my savior is working on the maintenance and he is restoring me as a whole so that I can continue to give him the praise.I look at my situation as a learning element. Not everyone is able to fulfill their purpose in life.
I don't say why me, I say why not me. If I am to be used as a vessel then so be it. I am a miracle in the making, when people see me, they will say I witnessed her restoration.

So being in the darkness for a little while is okay with me cause I know once the light is restored, I will shine brighter than ever!
