Discover Prompts, Day 12: Light

I look towards the light when the darkness seems to be calling my name.

But, before I step in and welcome the feeling of being numb the light shines so bright.

That yet again the darkness disappears and light is all that surrounds me in these darken days.

I  don’t like that  they all start to step one foot out the door

leaving me behind with both feet still in place still thinking I still have time before my   hope really fails me.

I won’t be still here when things get bad for I have to do something for me and I can’t stand here just letting what I really want to pass me by. 

I’m realizing now there isn’t a right time and waiting for it to happen is not what I should be doing right now.

I need to stop and not get distracted and do what I really want to do because, I know if I don’t make a move now things are going to fall down around me and I will only have myself to blame.

HAPPY EASTER!

Everyone, I hope you all have a great Sunday!

This day is more than Easter baskets and the yummy things inside them.

It’s another day to worship my lord and today is the day he gave his life for me, a sinner and once a lost soul just cruising through life.

I thought I knew who I was supposed to be and what I was to do with my life, but then time slowed down and I became confused on the direction of my life.

Everything I loved and thought was what I needed to do was gone and not even an option anymore.

He guided me to the right place and  everything became clear and I’m where I’m meant to be with the hopes of more to come.

I stop letting my failures or let downs hold me down and I stop trying to be someone I no longer am.

I became someone new and there is no going back and for that I will always be grateful and so today is more than just another holiday or Sunday for me.
