Ripples of Light and Dark

I've had a busy two weeks and haven't had the opportunity to post here. Things are starting again to look a bit brighter on the job front. I had one pretty good phone interview and another one lined up for tomorrow. I also got an invitation to write for another organization. These are the ripples of light in my life. I can't be sure how any of it will work out for me. Those are the ripples of dark that try to drag me down.

The situations that are going on in Washington DC also have those ripples of light and dark. The ripples of light are the promises to create jobs in America and secure our borders. The ripples of dark are the environmental concerns and security concerns. I hope that these concerns are addressed. There is a real strong push back trying to discredit the new government from many who feel it is an illegitimate government. I get that. There is an equally strong pull to keep going forward despite the obstacles.

I don't know everything. All I do know is that the person in the White House now was miraculously placed there by God. It just had to be. There is no other explanation for me. So I know that this wave of hate is directly due to an awakening of sorts. At least this is what I'm seeing here. Why would there be such hate if that wasn't true? I know the arguments about the river of hate that has been  simmering for the past eight years. Yes, I've seen that too. Yet I can't help thinking that it really hasn't been as bad as some might presume it had.

The thing that I have to keep reminding myself and remembering is God is in control. He is the one who controls all things through us. We just have to trust him.
