Journal…Your Light | Jan. 16 ‘26

My greatest fascination since the year’s opening has been light. When thinking of the beginning of the world, we think that darkness always was and You “created” light. In my studies, Isaiah 45:7, has changed my perspective entirely. Your Word indicates in Isa. 45:7a, “I form the light and create darkness…”

That completely makes sense. You are light, and in You is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5). You are the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). So, You are light from eternity past. It was the darkness You created.

Journal…Your Word| Jan. 15, ‘26

In 2024, I read the One Year Bible. In 2025, I read the One Year Chronological Bible. Reading straight through from Genesis to Revelations was good in a year, but so much depth was passed over.

So in 2026, I am allowing myself to dwell on Your Word. Though I am in Your Word daily, I’ve only managed to complete Genesis 1:1 to 1:3 — 3 verses in 15 days. Oh, but what mighty verses they are!

Journal…Dear Yeshua| Jan. 14, ‘26

Dearest Yeshua, my confidant, my friend and constant companion. I think of You everyday. I speak with You everyday. Was it like that when I was young?

You know I’ve followed you for years, with many ups and downs, joys and regrets, in faithfulness and in wrongdoing. Thank you always for your mercy & grace.

I must admit, I don’t recall coming to You everyday in my early years. However, as I age, I guess, I have less and less to cloud my mind, and less and less to keep me eternally busy. So I seek You often.

When I started this blog, it was with the idea of putting some of my thoughts on “paper.” Well, I like the idea of writing old-school, but I weary of erasing and re-writing. So a journal blog seemed best.
However, I fell into trying to fully explain myself and the endless exposition took me forever to complete.

I recently received a charge from WordPress, and in reviewing I haven’t posted anything since 2023! As You know, my workload skyrocketed at that time, which seemed to me around the clock. Now that that chapter is closing, here I am again wanting to put my thoughts on “paper.”

Right before I got bombarded with work, I was almost done with another long article. I guess I’ll call it an article. Maybe I can find it, clean it up, and post it. I was certainly excited about it at the time.
You know all things. You desire a relationship with us. Thank You always that I can speak with You and explain things that You already know.

Well, I can only write to You as I sit. The days’ work is calling me, so I must sign off. Thankfully, you are ever present and a thought and prayer away.

Your loving daughter,

Karen
