Light Out Of Darkness
My father died from pancreatic cancer. Unless you have talked with me in person, I haven't actually shared what he passed from in writing online. I guess, maybe in a way, I felt like I would be giving what took his life power or attention... & I didn’t want that to be the focus. I wanted the person he was & the life he led to be. 
However, lately I have been hearing God whisper that I need to let this part OUT. That maybe in a way I'm choosing to almost dismiss the horrible disease that took him because, well, it's all just too painful to fully wrap my mind around. And that by releasing it, the bright light that my father was still shines through regardless.
In that same whisper, I also keep seeing or hearing the words, "Nothing is Wasted" -- & it gives me some more hope that there is much more light in store from all the darkness. A reminder to trust above all else.
My hope today is that no matter where this finds you or what you or a loved one might be going through, you are reminded of those 3 words above -- NOTHING IS WASTED. May they shine some light to your path as they have in mine. 
So much love, friends.
God once said, “Let the light shine out of the darkness!” And this is the same God who made his light shine in our hearts.
