Nick Norelli has tagged me with the “What God Has Been Teaching Me” meme:

Here are the Rules:

In an effort to keep it simple, short, and easy to follow, I’d like to challenge you to quote one verse (not one chapter). And then say what the Lord has been teaching you in one sentence (not one paragraph). Then tag 5 peeps (you know the drill).

Verse:

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness—on them light has shined.  (Isaiah 9:2)

What I’ve learned:

I have been thinking a lot lately of the way Ellen Davis has defined “Epiphany” – a spark of light in the thick darkness.  The darkness doesn’t go away, but there is a glimmer of hope in the darkness.  God has been teaching me to believe these ’sparks’ are out there and to look for them.  And to even cling onto them.
