black to White

As darkness squints
new day comes
refreshing availability
smell of growth
dusk turns to Dawn

when threatened
black streaks through
days will be beat
triumph will resound
Light will remain
only Light will remain

negative space
filled all at once
brick upon brick
stone upon stone
water trickles at the sight

there is Freedom
indescribable Freedom
objects of wind
objects of wrath
run and bow
in glorious shades

As darkness squints
new day comes
refreshing silence
dusk to Dawn
dusk to Dawn

dark to Light
sin to Life
black to White

hope finds a home

It's encouraging to be able to see that God is enabling me to put my hope in Him. Inch by inch. My mom does not know the Lord, there has been some landmarks and some 'seeing her need for Christ' moments, but she doesn't know Him which is hard. Today I had a conversation with her and I told her that Audrey and I picked up a hitchhiker the other day, 'cause I thought it could potentially be a neat conversation, she was kinda mad that I did and made me promise her I'd not do it again. I asked her what the worst thing that could happen would be, and she said death. Really death would not be all that bad, considering God's will is perfect and pleasing, and since Jesus died, I have eternity before Him, so really that is the best thing that could happen to me and I told her that and she told me I need to save myself, and I told her I can't, God calls us to serve His children, and she was like "can't you do it in other ways?" and I said yea, and she's like well try to do that. I told her that Jesus walked straight through Samaria, she didn't care and said I don't need to do that, and that I don't care about myself enough. Which was encouraging. We kinda hung out all evening and later she told me she didn't think I was happy, and it was kinda wierd. Really it was the 1st time none of that bothered me. It was the first time my mom, who I love was feeding me Satans lies, and I was so sure of what God has stored up for me through Jesus. I need to not defend myself so much though when I'm with my mom, and just love her the way God calls me to, that beats words.

If you pray, pray for this: on my way home tonight I saw the 2nd worst accident I've ever seen in my life, and one of the people died, I have no clue who it is, but God does, so pray for the familyand friends. Trust that He will be glorified. Pray that He'll remind us we are worthy of the death that Jesus died, Pray that everyone would be reminded to put their hope in God.
