birth pains

it’s so simple, so easy, to disrupt the flow of this world. 

something I realized just yesterday as people all around me, including myself, began to panic due to the loss of electricity. 

long lines in grocery markets, closed down gas stations, stopped cars on the side of the freeway, huge traffic on local roads, etc. 

sd was without electricity for about ten hours or so
and within those hours, the flow of this city got interrupted, forcing people to get out of their normal Thursday and start initiating their “emergency plans”.  

..i realized..without electricity, this world is screwed. 

and then i woke up today, hearing the same korean drama on television that my parents watch every morning and knew that the electricity came back on.

and just like that, after ten hours, the flow went back to how it was before.

gas stations get reopened, shops go back into business, televisions are turned back on, facebook statuses are updated, life goes on. 

it’s so simple. take one thing out..the world goes into chaos..put that one thing back, everything goes back to normal..as if nothing was ever disrupted in the first place. 

—

light is so crucial. 

because, obviously, without light, we are in utter darkness. 
—something that 3 million people experienced yesterday in san diego.  

but it’s kind of the same thing..i realized..when God takes away His presence—His light—we are in utter darkness..but more utter darkness…….

without His light, there is nothing for us in this dark and depraved world. 

maybe God wants us to wake up and see.
