It would be insane to say that you have never experienced a dark moment in life. Have you ever felt cold? I mean not physically cold, but spiritually and mentally cold? As if you were emotionally dead inside?
Well I have.
I have experienced sitting in a dark corner afraid to face my demons. What you think a perfect life looks like is the opposite of what it appears to be.
Let’s get real for a moment. I post stories, poems etc that are full of encouragement. I try to inspire others to love themselves and be a light for the rest of the world. Because once you enter that dark place it’s really hard to get out. Let’s face it in today’s society so many give up before they truly had the chance to begin. However, I can not and will not lie to you and say my journey has been filled with rainbows and cotton candy all the time.
There are many days I don’t want to leave the house.
On those days I let my light go out.
I knew it was coming when the flickering began at that time I should have had a plan. Instead I gave up without a fight, I sat in the darkness feeling alone, no strength, no might. I felt the cold creeping in, there was a time I almost embraced it within.
My tears were the only warmth I felt. My spark, my soul it began to melt. I hated who I was and the life that surrounded me. I hated my journey and what It had come to be.
Then I remembered what God said shall be. He said He would never leave nor forsake me.
I realized the room was not really dark, I just had my eyes closed… I hadn’t lost my spark.
You see there is always a light shining on me. When I can’t see it it’s because I CHOOSE not to see. Today I am grateful for peace and grace. Today I am grateful I have found my place.
Whoever is reading this, please know your not alone. Things happen. You are human and you are allowed to make mistakes. You will fall short sometimes. You are allowed to cry, but don’t question your purpose for living. Don’t put yourself in a place of pity. It’s like if your outside getting ready to walk towards the woods. The moon is out shining bright. It’s ready to guide you and keep your area lit. Yet, you choose to wander off into the woods deeper and deeper until the trees cause the moon to disappear. The light is always there. Jesus is your moon. He is your sun. He is your guiding light. Don’t stop fighting.
