Welcome to Coming to Light: Bible Study, Devotional Reading, and Christian Living

Here I am, doing the best I can to live out my calling according to God's will by setting an example for my children and community. As a child of God, I am called to a place that goes beyond societal norms that often feels uncomfortable, even among what social Christians may be willing to accept. Please be encouraged to follow the Lord first and then seek community with like-minded followers who want to edify the Lord and the church to build the Kingdom according to His will and for His glory. And in that, find joy, my friends. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Coming to Light
It's been a year and the Grinch, maybe Scrooge, wh It's been a year and the Grinch, maybe Scrooge, whispered in my ear to keep the tree in the attic and not to touch the Christmas music. It's been tough with a transition out of military life of nearly 25 years that hasn't been smooth, graduating a 2nd child from homeschool with two girls in college, mental health trials, my husband losing his civilian job and searching for the past two months (with two new careers on the hook, prayerfully...), and piles and piles and piles of disappointments, disagreements, lost opportunities, lost friendships, and the Lord trying to tell us something but driving us straight through the fire while doing so. I had to buy a new ornament to get me motivated. I know many don't believe, but faith sustains. Without it, I think our whole family would be lost right now. We're stronger together because of Jesus. Come, thou long expected Jesus, born to set thy people free; from our fears and sins release us, let us find our rest in thee. Israel's strength and consolation, hope of all the earth thou art; dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart. -Charles Wesley #advent
The new covenant offers eternal life, not just fre The new covenant offers eternal life, not just freedom from the temporary flood waters of one sinful generation. We have salvation at hand for eternity in Jesus.... a beautiful picture of hope came as a rainbow for Noah and as an infant in a manger for us. The cross soon followed... As we look upon our Christmas trees, let us remember the closed door of the ark protecting the family who would nurture a new covenant. Let us remember the manger that the Lord was comforted in as an infant. Let us remember the cross that our Savior hung on to take on the sins of the world so that we may be free in Him. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9:15‬ ‭ For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. #advent
Hand God your worries. Hand Him your concerns. The Hand God your worries. Hand Him your concerns. The baby in the manger came so that you could boldly approach Him with your heart wide open and be in communion with our loving Lord. We don't need to live in a constant fight against nature. Peace can reign even if we are driving through trials and hard times. He is there, waiting for us to approach the throne of grace. This holiday season points to the infant who brings eternal peace at the cross. ‭‭John‬ ‭14:27‬ ‭ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. #advent
Jesus was The Word who was there in the beginning Jesus was The Word who was there in the beginning with God, through whom all things were created. His light was placed inside of us, as believers to remind us of who we are, where we come from, what our mission is, and where we're going. It reminds us of the hope we have in the salvation of our Messiah and to be a light pointing to that hope for the world to see. The days are dark. Evil reigns in many places and in many hearts, but the Lord wins, and we can stand firm pointing to that saving path of truth. There is no better time than this season of Advent. ‭‭John‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭ In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. #advent
