Finding Holy Light in the In-Between
There is something about a lightning bug that makes us pause.
Maybe it’s the way its tiny glow appears in the dusk—not loud, not demanding, just quietly shining in the gathering dark.
Recently, I found myself watching their gentle flicker and thinking about LUMINA—those sacred spaces between what was and what will be. The in-between seasons. The quiet transitions. The moments when clarity has not fully arrived, yet God is still present.
Lightning bugs don’t light up the whole sky. They simply glow where they are.
And that is often how God works in our lives.
Small Light. Sacred Timing.
A lightning bug doesn’t shine all day. It shines at the right time.
Its light appears when darkness comes—not to erase the night, but to dance within it.
Isn’t that true of our spiritual journey?
We often want floodlights.
God often gives fireflies.
Just enough light for the next step.
Just enough clarity for today.
Just enough hope to keep moving.
*“Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.”* (Psalm 119:105)
A lamp doesn’t show miles ahead.
It shows the next faithful step.
LUMINA: The Light in the In-Between
LUMINA is the space between breaths. (I SHARE A MONTHLY “LUMINA” GATHERING each month! Watch your email for invitations!
Between prayers.
Between the dream in your heart and the reality in your hands.
It’s the sacred pause where God is forming something new.
Many women arrive here thinking they are lost, late, or behind.
But what if this season is not a delay—
but a divine dusk where holy light becomes visible?
Lightning bugs remind us:
You don’t need to shine everywhere.
You just need to glow where God has placed you.
Need A Place to Keep Walking in the Light?
If this reflection stirred something in your heart, I want to invite you into A Woman’s Place—my faith-centered community for women who are seeking God in their real, everyday lives.
It’s FREE!
It’s a space for women in every season to gather, reflect, grow, and share the journey. No pressure. No pretending. Just honest faith and holy becoming.
I hope to see YOUR LIGHT there!
