Illuminated Path

Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England

In all the good stories, doesn't something always happen in the main character's life that brings about hurt, confusion, and change? And doesn't the story go on to tell of how that change shapes the person into something better, wiser, and stronger? There wouldn't have been a story if that hurt and confusion hadn't come about. The story would read pretty dull if it only consisted of a routine day told- "She woke up at 8 AM and brewed some coffee. She made a list of items needed at the grocery later that day." Nothing of consequence would be written about.

Trials bring about decisions, which turn into changes, and then usually something remarkable follows. After that time of hurt something good happens, which introduces hope into the story. Small reminders we can apply to our own lives. Even through the darkness where we can't see at all where we should go, we will soon find a little illuminated path that God sets out just for us to follow.

How terrible life would be if we never evolved into better versions of ourselves.
