The night won't last, neither will the day

Moments of darkness are not there forever.

Usually, when I listen to songs, certain words speak to me which is why I like to pay close attention to lyrics; I even have this habit of playing songs with lyrics on YouTube over and over. As I was listening to Do it again by Elevation Worship (for the 100th time), the line that captured my attention was " I know the night won't last".

I listened to this songs many times, but this has never touched me that deep. I started to think about The Night and said to myself the night can be any darkness, suffering, it can be the job you are desperately looking for, it can be the child you are trying to conceive, it can be the marriage you are trying the save, it can be the healing you are praying for, it can be the relationship you are praying for, it can be the unity in your family you are praying for, it can be your fall, it can be so many things that I cannot even begin to list.

While thinking about the many Nights that exists, I started to think of the ones in my life that I just I want to see some lights on already. At times I tend to forget that nothing works on my timing but on God's, maybe you do the same too. If you do, I just want to let you know that The Night Won't Last, that line was much needed for me in my current season. Our moments of darkness are just there for a moment, they are there to shape us, to mold us into the person that God created us to be, they are not there to kill us. Now, "a moment" can mean different length for different people.

Maybe yours might be two weeks, mine might be two years, your cousin's might be ten years. God deliver each and every one of us at the timing that is good in His eyes. SO, do not expect your deliverance day to be the same as your sister's. There was a time when I used to think that having a relationship with God would mean that all my Nights would go away. But, it is quite the opposite. The main difference between my then and now Nights is that now I don't go through them alone. Jesus told us that we would have those night moments, but the good thing is if we are in Him, we never have to fight alone.

John 16:33 I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Just like the night won't last, neither will the day. I love to believe that there are more good than bad days. There are certain seasons in our lives where everything seems to be working perfectly. You are walking, and you are screaming I am highly favored", yes it is a wonderful feeling, I love it. But, we have to be mindful that troubles will come. The troubles will come not because God doesn't love you, not because people hate you, not because "they don't want you to be great", but because they are part of life, and Jesus warned us. Remember that for as long as you are living in this flesh, there will be bad days, but take heart for there are more good than bad ones.

Like I mentioned in my article There Is Beauty In Your Brokenness, there is always beauty in your brokenness, you just have to find it.

Remember, moments of darkness are not there forever!

Xoxo,

DD

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
