Here's an excerpt from a little project that I've been working on for a while.
"There are so many aspects of this journey that are indescribable. Words just aren't enough sometimes to cover the magnitude of the horror and the pain that we experienced. At the same time, sometimes words are inadequate to describe that thankfulness and awe at God's grace and mercy through it all. It's a similar feeling to be in the middle of the darkest of nights, feeling completely alone. And suddenly a little glimmer of Light breaks through. Hope. You're not really alone after all. The gratefulness and relief that washes over you in that moment is enough to keep you going. But not just keep you going--you run through the darkness toward that Light. You fix your eyes upon it. You don't turn to the left or to the right. You can't. You know the darkness will engulf you if you do. So, you keep running--sprinting, really--with your eyes fixed upon that Light. Hope. Truth."
I have a feeling that at least some of you will eventually read the whole story. Whatever God has in mind for this project, my goal is to just obey Him. Even if the purpose was only for my healing. That's okay. It's been one of the toughest projects for me to work on, but it's all worth it if He gets the glory.
I realize that for some of you, this is a rather cryptic post. For others, you know exactly where this comes from. Regardless of your understanding of my story, the excerpt can apply to your life, too. No matter your circumstances, God wants to give you that same hope. He created you. He loves you like no other ever could.
If you want to hear more of my story, I will be happy to share it with you. We both may cry, but I promise you, it's an awesome story. Mainly because it's really God's story. It just happens to take place in my life.
Likewise, if you'd like to share your story with me, I'd be honored to hear it.
