The Inspiration

During the weekend I found myself reminiscing recent events that left me in a pretty broken state. I won’t share details, but all you need to know is that for me it was the hardest experience of my life. I’ve endured a lot of mental and emotional pain in my time, but none of it compares to this one experience. I learned a hard lesson, about God’s will having it’s way in His time, and how it was out of my ability to bring that about at my own convenience. It ended up costing me far more than I would have wanted, and I sank so far into sorrow and despair that I struggled to find a reason to keep going. In the past few weeks God’s been revealing His purpose for that experience to me, and it’s left me in awe because I couldn’t have planned any of it myself; I’ve regained hope for my life, and although my heart is still on the operating table, I know that true healing will arrive soon.

I’ll walk through the fire
With my head lifted high
And my spirit revived in Your story
And I’ll look to the cross
As my failure is lost
In the light of Your glorious grace

The Breakdown

This Unsplash photo was an intimidating one, mainly because I didn’t really want to tamper with it. But tamper I did. Sent it to Fragment and then to Union to blend the shape behind the mountain; this edit was color graded in Mextures.
