A special friend gave me a book with this quote from Charles Austin Beard and it has stuck with me for the last couple of weeks. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, age, race or gender...darkness creeps into all of our lives at some point.
The only way to fight the darkness is with light. Surrender our worries and anxieties to God every day. When we lose sight of the big picture look up and remember this little quote. Sometimes when we get lost in the darkness all we need is a little flashlight of hope...a friend to lean on...a mentor to give us a reality check...a new perspective. It is in the darkness that we learn the most. Our biggest obstacles are also our biggest opportunities to grow.
Francesca Battistelli tells it best in her new song "This is the Stuff" ...
I lost my keys in the great unknown
And call me please 'Cuz I can't find my phone
This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use
45 in a 35
Sirens and fines while I'm running behind
Whoa
This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use
So break me of impatience
Conquer my frustrations
I've got a new appreciation
It's not the end of the world
Oh Oh Oh
This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff
Someone save me
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
And I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use
