In Front of the Sun

Whoever said Winter was for hibernating? That might have been me just yesterday, but nevertheless! I think Winter is a lovely time to be outside. I don't even want to walk on the grass because every single blade of it is glittering with minuscule droplets of water, and oh, don't they look pretty?
In Winter, people breathe in little puffs smoke, and change colour, and cold red nose poke out of woolen beanies and scarves. You can watch raindrops race down the window of you car, and make bets on who will reach the bottom first. Electricity bills sky-rocket in Winter though; every room needs a heater, and every heater needs to be on. But Summer brings the same dilemma, and you can't escape the heat.
In Winter, the trees are naked, and I can't help but wonder if they feel chilly without their leaves. Every pothole in the road is a temporary pond, until the sun comes out.
And when it does, stand in front of it and watch the rainbow throw colour into the grey landscape. I can't guarantee you'll find the end of, it but it's pretty nonetheless.

It Is Written.

So where is everyone? Where are you in your life? Are you where you want to be? Are you at your starting point? Are you on your way somewhere? Are you in a bad place? Are you in a place so bad that it beats you down and kills your hopes every time you try to stand?
Everyone who has accepted life and decided to live, is somewhere between the starting point and the finishing line.
Though it's not a race. Racing defeats the purpose of living. So don't race. Because everyone finishes eventually.

I'm in a bad place. I don't really like it at all. I feel like a child stuck in a nightmare, without a teddy bear to hold. This place is rather lonely. But I can smile for two reasons: 1) because my facial muscles still work, and it is still physically possible. And 2) because I see the way out. And that's where I'm going.

It took a little bit of whinging, advice and religion to show me the way out. Nevertheless, it presented itself, glorious and illuminated, beckoning me.
It helps though, to know that someone's got my back. To help me through the bad places, and remind me of the good.
I hope, in the event of you ever finding yourself in a bad place, that someone will have your back too.
A little peace of mind, is what it is.

My church pastor said 'Never, ever, ever in this life doubt the Lord's love for you. He loved you so much that he gave his one and only son for you. He will never leave you nor will he forsake you, because he loves you and it is written.' That was assurance enough for me.

Wherever you are in your life- keep going. Keep walking. Walk out of that bad place. Whether you've begun to live or not, there's a destination with your name on it. Maybe you should accept life today then? Opinions don't keep you warm at night, but facts do. And I know there are better places than this. Why? Because it is written.

Salutations. My very first blog. For my new site, that is.
I could possibly start my ranting now, or, I could withhold that urge and save it for a later day.
I think I'll settle for the latter. But it is polite to say Hello first, isn't it?
Keep visiting. Jack loves having you :)
