Shining In
Canon 5D Mark ll, 50 1.2L, 3.5 aperture, 1/100 shutter, 200 ISO
For all those that are walking the dark paths, the places of grief, sickness, pain and loneliness, I want to tell you something. I want to hold your face in my hands and assure you with all I know to be right and true that there is hope. There it is, coruscating, ready to warm the life back into your heart.
Just for you.
Just around the bend, its brilliance shines, to help you find your way. Do not lose heart. You are deeply, extravagantly loved by a Heavenly Father. Keep walking, and lift your eyes to Him who holds all things, including your very heart, in His hands. He is your light, your strength, your hope.
See the light glimmering there, in the corner of your eye? It is for you. You are loved.
Calling Your Name
Light Dawning
Psalm 112:4 ~ “Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.”
Isaiah 61:1,3 ~ ” The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners ,
to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair”.

So beautiful and encouraging. Thankyou M
“Coruscating” – flashing; sparkling: brilliant or striking in content.
I learned a new word today . . . though it makes me think more of you than it does the sun.
The cross in the flare is pretty crazy
I just came upon your blog Mary Anne, It is so Beautiful and encouraging. The words I needed to hear today!! I am usually happy looking forward to going to church and singing , fellowshiping and praising our Lord. I guess satan tried to pull a good one me the other day right before I was heading to the Worship meeting Monday evening. Well, I almost didn’ go , something inside encouraged me to anyway. I am so happy I did. To make a long story, Our family is pulling together for prayer time with each other now.. I am so Grateful to God for doing “Great Things” in my life, Also, 12stone church, worship team, choir ,pastor Kevin, and you and Chris. Thank you Mary Anne for encouragement today and God Bless!!!!
