Getting in gear

I have had a difficult time getting things in gear these past few months. Everything seem to be off, if that even makes any sense. Every time I get something going, it just falls apart, or when I think that I have figured something out it never works out like I think it is going to. So, I threw in the towel and just quit for a while, which only made things worse. I am trying to get refocused and keep a hold of the promises the Lord has given to me and will start over again. Wednesday one of our pastors said something that really made an impact on me. He said "don't try to shut off the darkness, focus on turning on the light." So, today, I am looking for ways in my life to turn on the Light and keep out of the darkness that seems to be all around me in this world.
