Let My Shadows Prove the Sunshine
Lately I have been thinking a lot about God's glory and what it means to exemplify it in my life and I feel like a lot of it comes from being able to stand firm and declare God's goodness when everything is hard and I'm struggling to do anything
As much as I might say that I am doing "alright," in the end it is simply a euphemism for "bad." It's like saying "maybe" on facebook because everyone knows that saying "maybe" is just a nicer way of saying "no" it displaces any guilt we might feel from pressing the button just to the left of it. But regardless of how I am feeling, I believe that God is good and that he is guiding me in every single step I take. So here is my stance against you Satan and all those times you break me down by telling me how useless, purposeless, ugly, unintelligent, lonely, empty, and sinful I am. You know my weaknesses and you know exactly what buttons to push in order to hurt me the most but what is reassuring is that my God does too and He is mighty to save. I am victorious already
Here's to the shadows that will inevitably darken my days because I know that in the end, they will prove that God's light will always shine through
Triumph, Josh Smith style
Switchfoot - the shadow proves the sunshine

Dahnby, from SWLA. I heard someone mention your blog at the retreat, and I went looking for it. :)
Anywayz, just wanted to say your blog is really an inspiration to me. It kinda represents what I shoot for, both in the spiritual and writing sense. I'm always moved by your sincere and thoughtful posts. Hope you keep writing and that God will be with you (sounds cheesy, hehe xD).
