- God’s light is real and available to all.
- It takes an act of faith, to open your eyes to the light of Christ, it can’t be seen with carnal eyes, you have to act, you can’t just sit in a dark room waiting for someone else to turn on the light.
- How do we turn on the light? 1st Start where you are.
- The heavens will open up to us with the very first steps we take.

- Darkness may not dissipate all at once, but as night always gives way to dawn, the light will come.
- 2nd turn your heart to the Lord.
- 3rd walk in the light.
- Rise up and become the person you were designed to be.
- Help each other to lighten heavy burdens.

The Dream
I was on a scavenger hunt. In a competition with a bunch of others. Where we had to travel all over a mountainous city area fulfilling the requirements. My team had got ahead...only to realize that we had misdone one of the tasks. So we had to go back to nearly the beginning, to find a plane made of wood that we had to build. and would fly on it's own. It took forever and by the end...I'm pretty sure we were in last place. I thought about quitting, as we couldn't catch up, but stubbornly persevered.
Then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)
