As a child I was definitely not permitted to be outside when darkness approached. Some children used the flicker of street lights as their non-verbal cue to go home. While others relied on the trumpeting sound of a maternal voice or echoes of an older sibling. Essentially, home represented a safe place that kept you grounded and shielded you from the possible pitfalls that lurked in the darkness. Unbeknown to most of us the darkness was not outside the confines of our homes. The bogeyman was not hiding in a closet or under our bed. Instead we housed and were keepers of the darkness. The darkness safely resided inside of us and we vehemently guarded and protected it. You might be thinking I don't have any darkness I am a "good person." If your thoughts were captured in the previous statement you are about to miss it. Simply put our darkness is our secrets; the ones we keep from ourselves. Each day we wear an array of different disguises or masks to make it through the day....
We are like magnets, drawing people and situations into our lives or repelling them away. When we lose focus, it becomes challenging to find direction. Loneliness and confusion can creep in, making us feel God has forgotten about us, especially when our prayers seem unanswered. "Get Outta Ur Way" is an introspective journey and an inner quest to consistently see, feel, and know God's presence while living. So, get out of your own way and experience the blissful life you were created to enjoy.
