Friday night is so different for the rest of the world, and I was reminded of that tonight.
As we combed the city streets of Perth in search of anyone who would even speak to us, I longed for solitude & company at the same time. It was so easy to believe the smiles of the plastered on face I saw, and when I compared those upturned lips to the lonely, homesick, deflated child of a spirit inside of me, I felt even more of an outcast. But this is the test- not to never feel such things, but to choose light over darkness when your soul momentarily forgets what the love of God tastes like.
I chose God tonight.

Oh my Evvie, what pure sweet faith you employed. 'Not to never feel such things, but to choose the light' - that's what it all comes down to. Some people live a lifetime and never 'get' that. My heart is aching in a good way now - must be that 'feeling' thing.
you are sooooo good.
