AROUND THIS TIME OF YEAR, WE LIKE TO FOCUS ON NOSTALGEA, BUT SOMETIMES IT’S THE DARKEST EVENTS THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO WHO WE ARE TODAY. IT’S EASIER TO RECOGNIZE THE GOOD THAT CAME OUT OF THOSE TIMES ONCE YOU’VE SEEN HOW THEY PLAY OUT, BUT ITS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO MAKE SENSE OF IT WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. WHAT DARK CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU FACING TODAY THAT GOD WANTS TO USE FOR GOOD? PERHAPS THE FIRES YOU HAVE ENCOUNTERED ARE ACTUALLY GUIDING LIGHTS!
