Lighting up the Darkness February 5, 2010

Lighting up the Darkness, originally uploaded by picturethepromises.

This cross atop the steeple in town lights up the darkness from evening to mornings first light, until the light of the sun outshines the neon cross. As believers, we are called to be light shining in the darkness. Oh that my life would radiate the love of Jesus, that His light in me would bring hope to the many around me lost in darkness.

Sometimes my light is not so bright. Sin, fear, pride, business, can all dim my light, sometimes I try to hide it! O Father, may my light be bright, bringing hope to the hearts of others until Jesus, the true light of the world returns for me or calls me home.

Street Lights February 4, 2010

Street Lights, originally uploaded by picturethepromises.

Busy busy day, after work it was into Fargo. It started to mist and when darkness fell there was a glow from street lights, car lights, neon signs and so on. After picking up a few groceries I snapped this before heading home. Do you have your imagination handy, what do you see? I see little spaceships (if i don't look tooo close!)

A cold winters night (chrismas eve in ND) December 24, 2009

A cold winters night (chrismas eve in ND), originally uploaded by picturethepromises.

Christmas Eve was a cold winters night!! We celebrated with my Husbands mom and sister who live just next door while outside the "Christmas Blizzard of 2009" was just getting started. I headed home just before midnight and looked back from my driveway. The front lights shone on the wintery night, helping me safely find my way home. It was beautiful and I tried to capture the mood. Not so beautiful the next morn, snowed in and unable to get to my parents home to celebrate Christmas!
It was a beautiful evening anyway!
Blessings
