A Streak of Light

A streak of light indeed.

A good day. At school today, the children came dressed in their pajamas. The entire student body watched a film of the New york City Ballet's The Nutcracker. Santa was at school... all was just cheery and wonderful.

Brad and I have decided to see our counselor separately for right now. His first session with Faye was tonight and so when I got home I kept myself busy with the children and with cooking in order to not fuss over or worry about Brad. I find that when I'm idle or being lazy is when my mind gets all tangled up in the situation and I worry about Brad.

The devotional I read this morning said to make room for the Lord - to get all the junk out of the way so He can work in your life. It asked the question... what is the junk in your life that is standing in the way of the Lord's working in your life? And I immediately answered.. worry and fear. My prayer this morning was to put all worry and fear in the hands of the Lord in order to let Him work.

Brad was taking off to Memphis today with Eli to run some errands. David is in Memphis... this morning I had a few minutes of worry and fear, but when I led us both in prayer right before I left for work this morning, it was like the worry and fear was gone. I did not let it bother me all day long...

After he got home from his counseling session tonight we sat down to dinner (Smoky Tomato Bacon Pasta... YUM!!!) and he began to tell a story about Faye and how she was really rolling her sleeves up in that session. He started laughing and doing an impersonation of her.. we both just laughed... and I looked at him (and maybe I shouldn't have said it out loud..) and said, "There! There's the old Bradley!" I kind of giggled a little bit. I felt SO good to see that little sliver of light!!! I am SO energized over it! He looked up and saw me giggling and he just kinda smiled a little bit.

Then I had this thought - I remembered Faye (or was it Brad?) said that we would have to fall back in love with one another all over again! Who gets to "fall BACK in love" with the love of their lives? What a blessing this may turn out to be afterall!!!

Light - sure cuts the darkness out the picture. :)
