where the light meets the dark.

"I heard it said once that the best thing that could ever happen to any of us is if all of our sins were broadcast on the five o’clock news. And yeah, that can be a fairly disturbing thought, I suppose, but think about it for a moment. Think of how scary that is, and yet somehow, so incredibly freeing, too. If everyone knew all your junk, all your fears, all your questions, you wouldn’t have to hide anymore. No more masks. No more pretending. Just you, and hopefully, the grace that comes when we step into the light. Sure, it can be the most terrifying step you’ll ever have to take, but when we do, when we lay our souls out naked and bare for all to see, it forces us out of the shadows and into a place where life begins. It’s where the light meets the dark, and it’s where we want to be. Hope to meet you there." - Mike Donehey (from Tenth Avenue North)

That's why accountability partners are so helpful. Even it's not to the same degree as your faults and sins being broadcasted on the news, it's still sucks to tell someone what and why you did it. It is freeing.

I want to be there too. Where the light meets the dark.

I'm sensing a new name change on the blog :)

Loving the new Tenth Avenue North song too! (it's on the link up top)
