Well, here goes! Bobby and I got excited at the thought of starting a blog because it would allow us to share bits and pieces of our lives with the ones we love. Living in San Luis Obispo (recently named the happiest city in America!) I feel that we have been blessed in many, many ways. SLO in a nutshell is paradise on Earth. It’s filled with rolling green hills, open spaces, hiking trails, sand volleyball courts, parks, a stunning coastline, a bustling yet homey town, and best of all, countless days of sunshine. In my life, the sunshine is something that sustains me. I love to be out in the sun to soak in its power, warmth, and life-giving energy, watching it transform the nature that surrounds me.
God created the sun to bring light and to give life to everything on Earth just as He created His Son to bring light and give life to the Earth. The Son is the ultimate sustainer of my life and my constant source of light.
Something I have been challenged with lately is the question of whether there are really good things that can come from the bad and if there really is going to be sunshine after the rainy season. Through these times, I have been learning that there will always be dark times in life and even if I think the sun will never shine again, I need to have faith that in God’s timing, the sun (and the Son) will shine brighter on my life than it ever has before. It takes times of darkness and rain to fully appreciate the sunshine. The Lord promises that “everything works together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28)” and though it’s hard to believe at times, always look for His promise of the sunshine after it all.
