“God Shines Through”
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out.
Dylan says:
When my oldest son was about two years old I used to play a game with him, where as soon as we got home I would turn the lights off and wait for him go start saying, “daddy!” I know this may sound mean, but I had a reason for it. See, I loved to hear him call for me because when he was scared, he wanted me. While he searched for me, I would say his name just over a whisper so that he could find me through the darkness. When he finally found me, my son would wrap his arms around my leg and hold on as tight as he could.
Similarly, I find that sometimes God behaves the same way in our lives… where we feel like we are in the dark and all alone. But if we just call out to God and listen to His calling we can hold on to his love and grace and find peace.

I feel lost and confused.. I sadly was not raised with much of a reason to beleive god i barely knew anything about him. I Now am at the worse time ever and now the few things that make me better is hope for him. I close my eyes and starting to feel him. If i dont have hope and love for him now I would have no strength to want to breath. I have hope. I have him.
