This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine

Ive recently been through quite the tumultuous time – from hitting the lowest of lows to the highest of highs, though the latter is few and far between. Luckily, it feels like I’ve reached the end of the road, like the light at the end of the tunnel is just beyond my reach, but not out of reach entirely. I have searched and searched and searched for something to land me “home,” to achieve this feeling of peace within, but have not been able to find that sustainably, instead that feeling always seems fleeting – it comes, it goes. However, at this point in my life, it feels much more attainable, like that feeling of home that I have longed for for quite some time, is on the horizon waiting to be claimed as my own. I am so grateful for the journey up until now – the darkness, the pain, and the suffering – have developed my character and refined my personality. I realize now in hindsight that all that has transpired was exactly what I needed to grow, and develop spiritually, though at times that understanding seemed hard to grasp, as the pain was too unbearable. But, I continued on, taking one step and then another and arrived. I just read a quote that goes something like this, “God never said that the journey would be easy but he did say that the arrival would be worthwhile,” Max Lucado. What reassurance it is to know that despite all of the twists and turns we have made on our paths to get us to where we are currently, we will arrive and it will all be worthwhile.

Let your light shine bright for all to see.

Peace.
