This Little Light of Mine....

Come along with me
Grow small and see
A world that used to be
Sunshine and birthday cakes
Dick, Jane, and Spot
Kitty cats in the barn
Sparky, a stray dog
Momma in the kitchen
Daddy in the old red barn
Rainstorms and mud between the toes
Warm nights on the porch
Apple pie from a tree
Sledding on the nearest hill
Santa and Jesus on Christmas Eve
Now I lay me down to sleep...
Going back
Growing small
Inside your head
Anything is possible....

Most of us have growing-up memories that we cherish. We felt warm, nurtured, secure in this place. And, yet, none of us wanted to stay little. We looked forward to turning ten, and then thirteen, and then eighteen.... It was like breaking out of a shell, feeling free, becoming independent. Along with that feeling, however, came responsibility, hard decisions to be made, and the general emotional roller-coaster of life.

Jesus does not want us to stand still.
We are called to live in spite of the struggles, hardships, challenges.
In fact, your purpose is bigger and bolder than you ever dreamed it could be.
WHY? Because God is still happening as long as you have breath.
And, if God is still happening within you, expect to be a new creature and still be the unique creature he created you to be.

Because we are His children, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts... this was all a part of His plan before the creation of the world.

Hard to wrap your head around all this?

You don't have to; it's already in your heart...

And was there when you were little

And is there now....

This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine...
