The title of this blog comes from song lyrics that I heard many years ago by Switchfoot. And ever since the first time I heard it, these words have never left me. It makes so much sense. Although you might be standing in a shadow, that is direct evidence that the sun is still shining. I think that this is a great metaphor for my life right now. I am walking through some dark times. But I want these times to be evidence of the sun, and the bright glory of the Lord. And so while this blog will be chronicling some sad times in my life, I pray that it is also a testament to God, and a reminder of the good times in the midst of the shadows.

"I have said these things that in Me you may have peace. In this world, you will have troubles. But take heart, I have overcome the world!" John 16:33

More Scans

Sorry I am exhausted and don't have time for a long post tonight. But I just found out that I am getting more scans tomorrow. I am hoping that they will be just as positive as the ones at Thanksgiving! But it is still scary nonetheless. Prayers would be much appreciated!
The past few weeks have been really hard for me, and I have had over five weeks in a row of feeling miserable from the medicine. So I am hoping that I get good news from these scans, and that life begins to take a turn for the better.

"Yet if you devote your heart to Him and stretch out your hands to Him, if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent, then, free of fault, you will life up your face; you will stand firm and without fear. You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by. Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning. You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take rest in your safety. You will lie down with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor." -Job 11:13-19

    oh, i just love this passage perrin. dad and i were just talking about Job a few weeks ago...he never had a clue what all was going on behind the scenes...that God had chosen him as an example of a faithful servant who would love him during the hardest times. you are also that faithful servant, perrin. even though you get angry (Job got angry, too...), and even though you don't necessarily always Feel full of faith- you are. keep your head up...i look forward to good news from the scans!
