a little light

my day starts early

i am usually up at 5:30 am

while it is still dark

but within a half hour the light is dawning

it is the sweetest time of my day

i watch the light kiss the clouds

i watch the birds come to feed

i listen to the sound of the morning with joy

and 

i am in awe of the beauty that behold my eyes

i try to grab my camera when i get up

for moments such as this

the door on our bedroom is warped so it makes quite a racket

upon opening and closing so i hate to go back in the bedroom

for my camera

as i don't want to wake up bob

(sleep is precious)

thankfully i had grabbed it before leaving the room

i was drawn to the deck by the light in that one cloud

it wasn't til i was standing there that i saw the cruise ship 

coming in bathed in early morning light

light in the clouds

light shining 

through the dark cloud

always hope

always

always

it stills my soul

knowing He is there

no matter what is all around us there is always light shining

as i write this i am listening to kari jobe

and i want to share the lyrics to a song 

that is so fitting

BE STILL

He is here for the broken and life to the one who is undone
He is peace to the wounded and hope for the helpless one
He is here, He is here

Be still my soul, be still
Be still my soul, be still
Wait patiently upon the Lord
Be still my soul, be still

When the waves rise against me and the wind tries to draw me away
I will stand on the mountain, safe in Your arms I will sing I will sing

Be still my soul, be still
Be still my soul, be still
Wait patiently upon the Lord
Be still my soul, be still

Be still I know He is God
He is here, He is here
Be still I know He is God
He is here, He is here

no matter what you are facing

today 

may there be enough light

for you to be still

and know 

that 

He

is 

God
