Tunnel of Life

(Head towards the light)

Head towards the light!

When you’re in one of the tunnels of your life. When all seems to be going awry. When the storm clouds descend 

Head towards the light!

When life events arrive like buses. When you lose a devoted father. When every day presents a new challenge. When you think that you have had just about enough and can take no more. 

Head towards the light!

When you have precious babies who are no longer tiny but growing up too fast and need you to be emotionally available. When you have tears flowing and can’t work out which trauma the tears represent.

Head towards the light!

When you have a team to lead through major organisational change. When you go to work to ease the personal traumas of that season of your life.

Head towards the light!

When God sends gems into your life to pray for and with you. When God answers your prayers and sends a tall, handsome fella into your life to send you sweet messages, memes and bright hopes for tomorrow.

Head towards the light!

When you start to smile more than you cry. When you can laugh at the feeble attempts to break your spirit and steal your peace. 

Head towards the light!

If I can persist and head towards the light at the end of the tunnel, you can too. 

When you get to the end of the tunnel and emerge into the bright light of new beginnings, new opportunities and new chapters, you’ll be amazed and excited for the future. 

I’m so happy that you took my advice and headed for the light. 

Finally, to anyone who may have entered another tunnel, remember that they are everywhere and sometimes appear unexpectedly. Don’t worry, stay calm and…

Head towards the light! 🙏🏽❤️😊
