Staring Me in the Face

It's interesting to me how things always seem to play out in my life. I am currently sitting outside at Starbucks while I am procrastinating on my homework. I am sitting with two of my best friends and wondering how I got to this place. Earlier in our adventure to Starbucks, I got some news that I didn't want and sat on a couch outside of Starbucks and cried on my best friend's shoulder. In trying to reconcile my feelings, I logged into this blog that I haven't posted on in a very long time.
And there it was.
My blog's title is "Cracks Let the Light Come In".. And they do. God's Glory will shine in and through my life even in the midst of heartache. I may be hurting, but my God is always going to be there to pick me up from the ashes that I find myself in so often.
It always seems like whenever I am doing great things for the Kingdom, Satan come in on his black steed and tries to knock me off my white horse. Newsflash: That isn't happening this time. I have phenomenal friends and a God who loves me. I am blessed beyond what I deserve and even beyond what I can comprehend.
I am currently listening to an original song, "First Love" that my friends and I wrote and recorded last weekend. I am struck by the coincidence that as soon as we recorded this song to get out there, I get news that I didn't want, and news that broke a part of my heart.
I could let this suffocate me. I could let this ruin me. I could sit here and cry for countless hours until my tear ducts run dry.
But I'm going to choose life instead. I'm going to choose to live instead of wallowing in my pain and suffering. God's Glory is going to shine in my life because I'm going to choose that.
I once was lost, but now I'm found
I once was blind, but now I see
I once was mine but now I'm yours
I once was bound but now I'm free.
I'm so free.
