light soldiers

During this tumultuous year, my team at work and I decided at some stage that we would never make it through the daily challenges if we did not literally band together and in prayer face the evils of our world head on.

We are a diverse group of woman, different and yet so similar. Some of us religious, others not but all of us very spiritually inclined. We are believers of faith, hope, truth, loyalty and light.....

Every Monday morning we gather together as we embark on the new week and we share with each other our fears, anxieties, revelations, realizations, hopes.... We reinforce in each other truths that may have been questioned or tested during the week and weekend past. We rekindle the flame of hopefulness so that each individual may once again walk forth in faith and the surety that they are not alone and that they are protected by the power of a higher force. We share testimonies of miraculous events and with it evoke in each other a sense of wonderment and renewed motivation.

We realize that in our humanity we may be weak, in our spirituality we are strengthened, in faith we are united & in God we can trust. We motivate each other to go out into the world & spread the light with those who are not as lucky as we are. To share such a bond with women in the fashion industry which is often perceived as shallow & where climbing the corporate ladder can sometimes cost you your soul if you are not grounded is really an unbelievable blessing. We often come into the office on a Monday morning knowing the stresses that we face for the week ahead may adversely affect us but the knowledge that we walk together is a light like no other & is an amazing & comforting feeling.

I am extremely honored to share my daily life & work space with such phenomenal women.

I call them light soldiers.

Whilst we all have our moments of weakness, we all also have moments of strength & it is in the ebb & flow that we support each other.

They are my light in moments of weakness... & I, in my moments of strength provide them with light. I wish that everyone I know had that support, I wish that I could share that feeling with the world.

I have been lucky in my lifetime to have been exposed to many light soldiers, people who have brought me sunshine with just their mere presence.

I am blessed to be guarded by angels.... and I thank God for that blessing.

It is in fellowship with other like minded & light minded individuals that the love of God can be transformed into the most beautiful message & most importantly shared......

Proverbs 31 Ministries provided the most awesome devotional that spoke directly to my ideas on spreading the light. A wonderful read.
