Lighten Up


For you were once darkness,
but now
You are Light in the Lord.
                Live as children of light…

~ Ephesians 5:8



            I need a lighter life.  A life that’s brighter.  Unburdened.  Uplifted.  All the nouns and verbs defining the word “lightened.”

            A life that moves away from darkness and into the clarity of day. 

            A life that casts off the burdens I was never meant to bear.

            A life that embraces joy.

            My One Word for 2014: Lighten


For this Light within you produces only
what is good
 and right
and true.

~ Ephesians 5:9
