"You are the light of the world..." Matt 5:14

This is our duty as Saints of the Most High. Yet, some days it is really hard to shine, isn't it? As soldiers in this spiritual battle, it is our mission to glorify the King of Kings with our lives. As tenants in the world, we fall prey to its seduction, dimming our light. It is for this reason that this blog was started. In the military, after action reports are used to review the activities of specific events. This retrospection forces analysis of these activities in light of the outcome. Likewise, willing soldiers of Christ are invited to briefly review their daily lives, and note where God is working, recognize where they have fallen short, and prepare for the next battle. The hope is to not only provide accountability for our daily actions, but to also recognize where God is working and the part he wants us to play in His mission.

Hide & Seek with God

After waking up late, I almost thought my day was in for it!  It WAS a frantic and busy day, but as I'm sitting here reflecting and praying about it, God showed me that hide & seek with him can sometimes be fun!  Seek and you shall find!  God, where were you today?  He was in the hug and kiss from my son this morning.  He was in my arrival to work only 1/2 hour late (considering I woke up super late!)  He was in the prompting of an ad hoc fast of breakfast for a prayer request.  He was in the compliment from two of my bosses on my work.  He was in the thank you's from co-workers and bosses.  He was in the knowledge and guidance He gave me as I worked to get some things back on track in the office.  He was in my son's joyful exclamation that the dentist said two of his teeth were little wobbly.  He was in the conversation with a dear friend who listened to my plight and made me giggle like an idiot.  He was in the dinner my mom prepared for me.  He was in the giggles from my son and the smile and playfulness from my husband, trying to make my son laugh.  He was in the request for meals for a sick neighbor of a friend.  He was in the offer of another friend to bring a dish to help serve many.  He was in my thoughts as I type this and look forward to going to bed to pray, and wake up to QT.  It may seem like He is hiding, but often it is in plain sight!  I found You!
