lighting candles

oh i'll re-write a really meaningful story to me (from I kissed dating goodbye , by Joshua Harris):

Shortly after the fiasco with the service station, E.V. came home one night and found the house dark. When he opened the door, he saw that Jane had prepareda candlelight dinner for two.
"What meaneth thou this?" he said with his characteristic humor.
"Well," said Jane, "we're going to eat by candlelight tonight."
E.V. thought that was a great idea and went into the bathroom to wash his hands. He tried unsuccessfully to turn on the light. Then he felt into the bathroom and flipped another switch. Darkness prevailed. The young pastor went back to the dining room and asked the electricity was off. She began to cry.
"You work so hard,and we're trying," said Jane, "but it's pretty rough. I didn't have quite enough money to pay the light bill. I didn't want you to know about it, so I thought we would just eat by candlelight."
Dr. Hill described his wife's words with intense emotion: "She could have said, ' I've never been in this situation before. I was reared in the home of Dr.Caruthers, and we never had our lights cut off.' She could have broken my spirit; she could have ruined me; she could have demoralized me. But instead she said, "Somehow or another we'll get these lights on. But let's eat tonight by candlelight."
......... I'm looking for someone who will light candles, not jsut curse the darkness.


I want to light candles. I want to be a "partner in crime"... i want my life to radiate God, i want God to dwell within me, and I want to dwell within God in an obvious way. People forget that sometimes, the source of things is more important than the "things" themselves, and in this case is so. God is the source for light, may people soften their hearts and see Him more clearly. :)
