Life unfolds ... some of it here. This blog began as a way to focus on the good things in the midst of a crisis and be a connection to friends and family when it seemed to take all of my time just to weather the storms. It seems to have transformed into a sanctuary of musing and inspiration. Feel free to join me!

Black ... White ... Grey
Out of darkness, light shines. Out of the black earth, life blooms. It's so much more than black and white. Those grey areas that bring so many questions and make us wonder if we're going the right way or making mistakes are very present. And in the big picture, they all play together in a wondrous image.
My challenge? Learn to embrace it all. Pursue the light ... but never be afraid of the black or the grey. It's all part of our existence on this earth. May we all find the spectrum a pleasing picture in the end of emerging into who we were meant to be - beings who are gracious, glorious, compassionate and real.
And a little nugget ... when darkness seems to overwhelm, forgiveness can bring the light where it is needed and reveal the good. Just like exposing an image, it can bring out the detail and beauty that was hidden behind a shroud. I love the ways that God turns even the dark days into opportunities for His light to burst through. His healing always reveals hidden beauty, bringing strength and grace to us when we need it most.
