iWitness

...God is all around us but we move so fast we miss Him.
I've been in a place for awhile where the Holy Spirit shows me where God is during the ins and outs of everyday life...

I have a couple of kids, an awesome wife, and a trail running dog. Together we are seeking God and letting His love spill out on the broken and forgotten.

I believe God has given me a voice that might speak to you too...join us.

The first rays

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:15

I have watched the sun rise from the heights of the hills and sitting in the oceans and it always takes my breath away. It starts slowly and understated. A pinpoint that quickly turns into a massive ball of flame bringing warmth and light that can't be stopped...day in and day out. Closing curtains or hitting a snooze button won't change this reality. But we can ignore it.

As I made coffee today I looked out my kitchen window and there it was..a strip of light in the back yard reminding me that no matter how hard we try, no matter how far off our focus may get, the sun still rises and the light still finds its way into the dark places.

So I ask us all today; are you ignoring the Son of God, the Light of the world...or are you looking for the sliver to rise? Are your actions keeping the light from entering into your house, or are you staring straight into the light? Have you ever even seen the Son? He starts with a pinhole that penetrates our present darkness...and then, oh and then if you are willing....well, I don't want to spoil your joy.


May we all reflect the light today....
