My Light in the Darkness

Staring into the darkness, at the edge of the water, I've never felt so small until moments like this. Away from all of the noise, escaping from my internal thunder, I surrender every piece of myself to His beautiful creation. Entering with no apprenhension, I'm reminded of the stubbornness of humankind; wanting to pull every which way except the direction of life's "waves". I chuckle. We can't control the ocean, yet we always try. God never intended for us to be so "anti-wave," lol. But here, I can feel Him all around me- from the sand between my toes to the breeze through my braids. There's nothing that I can fathom more beautiful than this moment, and I hope that when I read this years from today, I've captured it for the beauty that it's worth.
