Life's been interesting lately... I've been learning so many lessons and come to so many convictions in the past few weeks/months that I think it'll literally take the rest of my life to really live them out.
I've been wanting to do this shoot for awhile...I wanted it to convey the way I've been fighting life. But I didn't want it to just convey despair or hopelessness... And that's why I shot the last picture.
Every link of my own life "chain" has so much weight, so much control over my life sometimes. I just give up and let it pull me closer to the ground...I just don't want to fight it anymore.
It binds my hands and keeps me from action. I sit there and all my focus is on what's holding me back...It drains me and I can't seem to see all the hope that's just past them. The Hope that could break them if I'd only let it.
Real life is hard. Every day I'm faced with so many decisions. I'm becoming who I'll always be. So who do I want to be?
Someone so laden with regret, pain, shame, guilt, loss, sorrow, and despair, that I never see what He has for me? All that hope, light, joy, peace, acceptance, beauty...they're waiting for me. I can break those chains with the power He's given me and I. can. be. freed.
Redeemed~

I love the last one.
