the golden hour

THE GOLDEN HOUR

your presence is like the golden hour

washing over me through and through

caressing empty spaces with golden hues 

and softly covering rough edges

i am able to breathe you in and out 

and appreciate the stillness that you so love

your presence is welcome in this space

kerry turned to me today at church and started speaking about being in the light. Christ took me out of darkness and into light - why then did i feel so ensnared by my sin and brokenness all last year? i mentioned in an earlier post that i felt like i was lot’s wife, constantly looking back at my sin (and past). in reality, i stand in the light and the only darkness that remains is the shadow cast on the ground - it’s behind me. so i guess appreciating Christ’s work on the cross means allowing yourself to be bathed in the light, knowing that redemption means no more looking back at that shadow of sin and death. it’s a thing of the past. thank you God, for using kerry to get this message across to me. you’ve accomplished all that you wanted to do during my time here and i think i’m ready to go back.
