The Color Of Courage

~ RED ~

A simple yet utterly profound quote leads

 me into this new day:

“Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.”

~Lucius Annaeus Seneca~

I made a choice recently to try to 

 learn to "Live in Color" and

now I will add that for me...the color that

represents life and courage is

the color

~ RED ~

Our life's blood that allows us to live is

 ~ RED ~

The color of the blood which our

Creator shed that we might live

eternally was

~ RED ~

Therefore, to me, the color of life

and the

courage to just live is...

~ RED ~

"Beauty From Pain"



The lights go out all around me
One last candle to keep out the night

And then the darkness surrounds me
I know I'm alive but i feel like I've died
And all that's left is to accept that it's over
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that i made
I try to keep warm but i just grow colder
I feel like I'm slipping away

After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I've cried my last, they'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today,
Someday I'll hope again
And they'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

My whole world is the pain inside me
The best I can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I'll wonder why God lets me walk through this place
And though I can't understand why this happened
I know that I will when I look back someday
And see how you've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames
After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I've cried my last, they'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today,
Someday I'll hope again

And they'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

Here I am, at the end of me
Tryin' to hold to what I can't see
I forgot how to hope
This night's been so long
I cling to Your promise
There will be a dawn

After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I've cried my last, they'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today,
Someday I'll hope again
And they'll be beauty from pain

You will bring beauty from my pain
