Okay, not sure if this will work or not, but. . . it says if I post this code in here, you will be able to see my Costa Rica blog from here. Well, here goes. . . that didn't work, so we'll just do it the hard way!

Waiting for the Light
I can’t wait to see what good God brings out of this storm. I know that He’s going to bring good out of it because He says He will: “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28, ESV). If you’re wondering if you are one of those “called according to his purpose”, check this out: Jeremiah 29:11 says this, “For I know that plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” (ESV). God has a plan for you. Not only does he have a plan for you, that plan includes a future and, best of all, a hope. He knows the plans that he has for you as well, so he hasn’t forgotten you. He has also “called you out of darkness into his marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9, ESV).
Now, it might seem dark now. You might feel shattered and overwhelmed, but His plans for you include a future, a hope, and glorious light. Trust Him. Pick up the shattered pieces and let God put them back together. It doesn’t matter that it seems some of the pieces don’t fit together anymore. In fact, it’s even better if they don’t! Each time a piece is missing, there’s a space for his glorious light to shine through.
You feel like you have no power? Step into the light! That’s our real source of power.
You may have praised Him before the storm, and you may have praised him during the storm, but let’s take it to a new level AFTER the storm! I don’t know about you, but I’m going to step into His glorious light and let Him stream through the recompiled shards of all that I thought was once important. I wanna be so full of HIM that I glow in the dark!
