“While walking through life sometimes there are dark days and light days. Days that are easier and some that are down right hard. Those hard days don’t hit often for me, but when they do they can put me down pretty quick. I call it “falling into the pit.” There are many ways I would work hard at not falling into the pit, such as: daily devotions, Christian music, having a strong faith, spending time with family and friends, and finally—exercising. I love to walk! I enjoy walking the streets of South Hill where I see many people and things. Walking through town is always an adventure!

Several weeks ago, while waking in town, I spotted a shirt in Trinity’s front window that said “Be a Light.” A simple saying, but so powerful!! I thought of ways to be a light and shine in the darkness around me. It struck me how one simple saying on a shirt could lead me to thoughts and prayers. This world is so full of evil and darkness. Finding the light and being the light is a more positive way to be! I’m not perfect by far, but we aren’t here to be perfect. I’m thankful for that shirt that got my thinking straight that day. I’m excited to see how Trinity will continue to share the light or “Be a Light” in the South Hill community.”
