sometimes

i get so afraid. afraid of the things that can never hurt me. what can evil men do to me? he barks and he bites, threats and promises empty as his heart.

i saw it in my head this morning while driving to work. i was climbing out of a pit, climbing more and more towards the light. he was at the bottom clawing at my ankles, grasping at me with what he could. he didn't want help out of the pit he was in. he wanted to drag me down with him. he didn't want light, he wanted me to be in the darkness. but even with this mental image epiphany i realized there is nothing he can do. what is a grasping of the ankles? what is a spewing of insults? in the light of moving forward, on the path i am on, that God himself arranged what is that?

it is nothing but the roar of a toothless lion.

and i will not be afraid

in closing i will quote my very wise brother
" you are trying to be reasonable with unreasonable people, this will not lead you anywhere"

I got chills while reading this entry. Your brother is right. No one can touch you when you're on God's path. Darkness has no place in the light. Evil cannot dwell in the presence of God.

Love you! :)
