Here Comes the Sun!



     I drove towards a metaphor the other day. Yep, it's true. I was driving to work after a 2-Hour delay (about 7:00am), and the sun was just beginning to rise. It was a glowing magnificent gold. It was one of those days where you truly could look at the sun and appreciate it. I was watching it with my KLOVE blaring and just thinking about how magical the moment was. 

     But then, it was gone. Hidden behind the tree line. Hidden by buildings and farms. Then, minutes later it was back as bright as ever. What a metaphor... 

     You all probably know where I am going with this, but I got to thinking about life. (I know, I know, I think a lot for 7:00 in the morning.) Some seasons you have the sun to light your way and to show you its radiance. But the inverse of that is also true. Some seasons you question where you are going. You know that the sun exists but it isn't quite showing you where to go. You do your best to go down the road in the right direction. 

      In life, we don't have a weather report to tell us when the sun is going to rise and set. You just have others, love, and faith.  So use those three things as a compass, even if you can't quite see where you are going.
