i was looking for this verse in my bible, and when i found it. i jumped a little bit. off of the cream pages, it was enfolded in the unmistakable highlighter yellow. immediately, i was met with flashbacks. to a time when my bible was new and needing color. to a time when i was under the impression that if you read the verse over and over, your life would change for... the better? this verse was supposed to be encouraging. so i marked it. in the hopes that it would be. and yet, i still haven't followed through with what it instructs me to be. and i question.
why. because this wasn't written for me. it's not for me. so i don't feel the need to apply it. because my name isn't written in sparkly pink letters with an arrow to 10. and i wonder what will make me snap back into a belief that will be meaningful to me when the yellow is actually ... good.
