Shine Your Light
I find that sometimes, there’s just too much negativity in the world.
There’s too much cynicism. There’s too much ‘woe is me.’ There’s too much wahhh wahhh wahh.
I get it. Life is tough sometimes. Heck, life is tough a lot of times.
But we’ve got to start being the LIGHT to the world. In the world. We’ve got to start building each other up instead of breaking each other down.
We’ve got to learn to take ourselves a little less seriously.
And we’ve got to learn to appreciate the little things. The little moments.
And that’s what today is… just like I do (most) Fridays, it’s my chance to appreciate the little moments. And shine my light… or something.
What about you? What are you doing to shine YOUR light?
Here are my moments of the week:
1. & 2. This girl. I can’t get enough of her. Her funny faces. Her silly smiles. Her hilarious giggles. All of it. She is the light in MY world.
3. My friends and I went to see Hillsong United on Monday. It was SERIOUSLY an amazing night of music and worship and it was exactly what I needed. A night away with my sweet friends and a night to just focus on Him.
4. Snapped this photo at church on Sunday. Our husbands with their baby girls. It warms my heart to see how much these daddys love their daughters.
5. Miss thang decided she wanted to hold her bottle herself. Well, alright then. Let’s slow down, time, shall we?
I agree with you, there is too much negativity in this World but I stopped paying attention to rude people and this is exactly what they deserve! Your little girl is so precious, baby smile is the best!!!!!!!

Too cute! Love the pic of the dads, so sweet. How did you enjoy seeing Hillsong United?
Oh she is just the sweetest! And heck yes, we need to be and see the good in the world!
I hearrrrr you on this one! It is really hard to be around negativity. When gossip happens at work, I refuse to participate. I love the quote “Gossip is the devil’s music. Don’t be his DJ”. Its so true! We are all lucky to be alive and live these great lives – we need to appreciate it and be happy!
I needed this today Molly! My light has not been shining!! My daughter, on the other hand, had the opportunity to witness to other students in her class yesterday. I pray over her every night and ask God to keep her close to Him. She explained Revelation to some fellow jr high students – not easy for a 12 year old. Nothing makes me feel more blessed than my sweet girl walking with her savior. Susan
I. LOVE. THIS. And have been feeling the exact same way lately. How have I been shining my light? Saying that I like my job. In the public schools in NC. I’m annoyed with the politics, duh. But I’ve got it pretty darn good. So here it is… I LIKE MY JOB!!! Ha, once I’m actually at work, my light is obnoxiously saying “WELCOME TO BREAKFAST HAPPY FRIDAY!” to the kiddos as they walk in. And, also, laughing at their ridiculously immature jokes instead of rolling my eyes. Yay middle school :]
Your light shines bright! Great word. xo
