Welcome to the blog ~ I'm glad you're here!! ❤
“Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!”
Hey, friends, family, and online community! I'm Lindsey Claire Muecke (my last name is pronounced "Mickey"). As a classic introvert, I communicate best through writing. Over
the past 17 years, this blog has become my favorite and longest-running
creative project, a wonderful way to document God's faithfulness through
the moments and milestones that shape my life! I know blogs have mostly gone out of fashion, but I was never in it to be popular. Writing here is a fun artistic outlet where I can add my favorite stories, songs, photos, videos, verses,
quotes, etc. ❤
This blog is titled "Let
There Be Light." These were the first four words directly spoken
by God in the Bible, a command with a deeper meaning that has become very significant to me. I want to consciously make room to let the light of Jesus shine in my own heart -- bringing more joy in good times and offering comfort, healing, and clarity in dark moments. I also want to SHINE that light for others by speaking and writing words of life and hope! So "Let There Be Light" sums up my overarching goals here: Let the light of Christ fill my mind and heart, then reflect and shine that light in the midst of a dark world! ❤
God is good and kind and trustworthy, and He keeps proving that
to me in new ways. I'm so grateful for His promise to work ALL things together for the
good of those who love Him! Through all my hard times and seasons of loss, I have eventually learned to trust Him more deeply, with greater confidence and security in Christ, drawing my strength and identity from Him. I am better for every season of struggle I have endured, and I'm happy with the personal growth and resilience those times have built in me. Jesus has been loyal and faithful to me even when I’ve been distant or unfaithful to Him, and I want my life and my words to reflect that same grace for myself and others!
My eternal hope is centered on God's Word and Christ's coming
kingdom, and I know that hope will not be disappointed! ❤ For now, God promises that we will find
Him when we seek Him with ALL OUR HEARTS (Jeremiah 29:13), so I am intentionally pressing toward that goal and building a meaningful life along the way!!
"Let us press on to know Him!" ~Hosea 6:3
My readership is small, which allows me to be more real and vulnerable here. I’m thankful you're a part of that group, and I hope you will see God's faithfulness as a theme in my life story and find some relatable encouragement, joy, and hope here!!

*A bit more about me: Deeply loved and valued child of God. Imperfect but sincere follower of Christ. ❤ Loving and loyal daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Life-long Oklahoman (thus far). Enneagram 9w1. INFJ. 41. Single. Core values = Courage, Hope, Abundance, Support, & Endurance. Official Court Reporter: 2004-present. The gritty details are contained somewhere in this blog, but my life story includes deep rejection, ambiguous grief, loss, sin, depression, addiction, suicidal ideation... loyal friends, a very faithful God, inner strength, and growing resilience! Weight loss surgery - June 2024; down 100+ pounds from my highest weight. Pursuing health and strength in mind, body, soul, and spirit. My life trajectory was forever positively changed through the continually-transformative friendship with Chet Wilson (12-17-08 forward) and by applying what I learned through Donald Miller's Hero on a Mission (2022 audiobook)! I am striving to walk with integrity, to step up as a servant leader, and to move forward with God-given power, love, and clarity of mind! ❤

"I have set the Lord continually before me.
Because He stands at my right hand, I will not be shaken."
