Focus... on the Light

I have the hardest time focusing. It's one thing I constantly struggle with, focusing on school, projects, work, and even maintaining a healthy spiritual relationship with God. Not to imply that I have my priorities mixed up but perhaps a lack of enthusiasm? and I think mostly it's because of my personality in that I tend to avoid things instead of facing them... But how to overcome this constant procrastinating... God only knows. :)

Today at work a girl, who is originally from Thailand, told me about her life before coming to the United States. Her name is Yee. In Thailand many of her people are still living in refugee camps, camps that were set up during the Vietnam war. I was surprised that I hadn't heard of this before... Her family lived in the jungle to stay alive, they had their own gardens, chickens and pigs for food and lived in wood huts. "to stay alive" by that I mean people would have killed them if they were found. It was so odd to be hearing this from a girl that went to public school in the US and works at Old Navy with me.

My thoughts all over the place tonight. I can't concentrate on just one!
I love the imagery in this passage. Just think about each word as you read...

"The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light; on those
living in the land of the shadow
of death a light has dawned."
Isaiah 9:2
