Beloved ~
As we journey through the middle of the winter time, I have found it hard to remember the light of your love. My soul has often felt like it was swirling in a thick fog or meandering about in the darkness, lacking direction and confidence. Such have the months been since graduating from seminary and asking what is next. Here, though, in these last few days, it seems that your Spirit has been stirring and opening new doors. I have now sold my second painting: "The Tree of Life". A shining reminder that You are in the midst of making all things new, I feel like you have affirmed my pathway of artistic and creative endeavors. I am filled with peace.

The questions remain, but at least I don't feel like You are very far away. Even if I have to continue waiting, I am comforted in the reminder that You are here, in the shadows and fog. You are watching and waiting right alongside of me.
Perhaps that is the reminder that you gave during the epiphany so many years ago -- a sign of your love and light, your very Presence wrapped in human flesh, shining in the midst of the dark night. You are not so very far from any of us, are you? For all of these signs of new light and life, thank you.
