I was up in the middle of the night for quite a while last night. So many thoughts and fears and worries swirling in my brain. One thing that I have learned, which I try to remind myself of during those sleepless nights, is that things always seem more desperate and scary and hopeless in the dark of night. When morning comes, many of those fears fade away and even seem a bit silly. Light drives out the darkness. The worries don't always go completely away but they seem more manageable by the light of day. This season of advent is spent awaiting the light of the world who ultimately defeated the darkness once and for all. The waiting is worth it.
