> Sheilac,
It looks like you are at a crossroad, and there are different ways to turn and you are wanting to know which way is the way to life. And darkness is upon the face of your life.
And which way will you be led to the light that dispells the darkness? Which way will lead you back to the green fields that you used to know? Which way will lead you to a restoration and healing of your soul? Which way will you be led to be by the streams of still waters? And which way will lead you out of the Valley of the Shadow of Death? And which way will lead you to be comforted?
I have been at the crossroads. And I did not know which way to go. And there was a road in the darkness that has a faint light that I could see. I went toward that light. And behold, a Rider on a white horse. And I asked how one could follow that road in the darkness. And He said to me, "My word is a lamp unto your feet and a light on the path to life. Walk while you have light, lest the darkness come upon you, for he that walks in darkness knows not where he goes."
