The light meets the dark



So lately as I'm building my empire I'm learning a few things
I'm learning that building my empire means
knowing where to start and focusing on one or two spots at a time

that way I can truly build and empire that is properly built 
1. on the solid rock of Christ
and
2. in a way that isn't rushed

Over the past couple of months I've been looking into my life
noticing things that must be fixed about myself 
things that can only be fixed by trusting in God to provide healing
There have been ups and downs but I know I'm making progress

I'm reminded of the song "Stand with You" that I wrote
when I simply say

"Set me on the solid ground with no more sinking sand. Lord I want to stand with You."

So much of my life has gone to sinking sand thinking I was okay
and that it was natural
It was only until the past few years that I really start to notice a lot of things
about myself that needed to change
things that I was afraid to move forward in

This year I began really confronting those things 
with the help of my brothers in Christ 
Josh Ramos, Colton Cash, and Jonathan Hill

and a few others
I can say there were deep dark corners of my life
that I was so afraid that people would disown me about
yet when I shared them with my closest people 
I came in contact with the true love of Christ 

since then I've been able to confront things in my life
that I thought had a noose around my neck
through prayer, accountability, restoration when I fall, council, and just knowing 
that I have brothers in Christ who are there for me 

it's been a journey
and one I'm still on
God is still working in me and He's not gonna stop no time soon
I know that He is making me greater by the day as I trust in Him
and when I fall He is faithful and just to cleanse me from all unrighteousness
when I confess that I messed up

So I do my best to walk in Holiness 
to walk in the spirit and let God teach me
and fight against the flesh 

I'm on the way to something beautiful with my King
can't wait til I get there
