the other side

I recently attended a friend's show this week- the band is called Alanna Story- and all of their songs are stories from their experiences and struggles, and in the midst of those stories are words of hope and strength...encouragement to hold on, get through, look up... needless to say, their music is encouraging.

Anna was introducing one of their songs and shared the inspiration behind it which was her at her weakest, darkest moment of absolute brokenness and surrender; speaking of how in the moment, she had nothing left. She was empty. But to every dark moment is another side. Things do get better, things will change, and life will go on. It takes a choice and will of surrender.

I made the choice of surrender this week, and it hasn't been great so far; however, I have hope that there's another side to the darkness I'm feeling. I trust in that and I also trust in God to bring me there. So, thank you Anna and Ally, for the words you sing that touch people- that touch me. And also thank you to one that has wrestled through the choice with and beside me in love.

So, here's to the other side I will eventually see. Until then, strength for today and tomorrow.

love you e,
love, t.
