Walking in Darkness?

Shelly and JoniIn January 2009 while in college, Shelly Jones suffered two brain aneurysms — she was in a coma for three weeks. After the aneurysms and subsequent surgery, Shelly emerged blind and partially paralyzed. Needless to say, it was almost too much for her to bear. It’s why I was so glad she came by our IDC for a visit — I learned that she participated in ‘Artist for Trauma’, briefly working in ceramics (it’s more about the ‘feel of the hands’ than the eyes). Then she found her real interest in listening to music… she’s taken up playing the piano and enjoys listening to books on tape. This young woman still has a long way to go, but I gave her Isaiah 50:10, “Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.” If your circumstances seem dark and you are groping for help and hope, trust in Jesus and rely on Him. If He can lead Shelly into the light of understanding, He can lead you.
