And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day
Genesis 1:3-5
I have been thinking about this journey you all will be taking and these verses came to me. Many of you are going to be following a light you did not even know you had at the first of the year. For some of you that light was a flicker. (Read Stacey’s blog) For some of you it was a bright light right away. (Read Pastor’s) But some place along the line God pointed you to the light and said “Yes” you can go and do what you can. So think of today as “your first day”. A new journey, a new light. Follow your light to Mississippi. Trust that once you get here, God is going to point you to your light.
For the rest of us at Cross and Crown. God told us to keep the light at home burning for all of you. The light he has told us to follow is to pray for all you. To keep Cross and Crown going until you all are safely home. To remember that he will lead all of us one day to a light. But Mississippi was not it. So do not be sad if you did not go. We still have work here at home to do. What is your light? Mine is to pray for the safe travel and return of my follow Cross and Crown brothers and sisters. Gods Peace and Gods Speed. –Cindy T.
