Even when its the darkest you can choose to step into the light.

I was watching Fringe which I stopped watching and now have adventured into again and I heard this phrase.

"even when its the darkest you can choose to step into the light." Or something close to that.... Even in my darkest moments I want to know that I have a choice to step into and search for the light.

I spoke to my step-sister last night. We have an on again off again relationship. My mother was married to her father and that ended in a divorce. Through the years we have ran into each other, spoken then lagged in our contact. She is a Jehovah Witness  and was married about 6 years ago. She recently left her husband and after 2 children they are divorcing. I do not pry and I do not ask to many question because truthfully we are not that close. But I am saddened to see her marriage has broken down to the point of a divorce.

But talking to her last night I learned some interesting things.

What I seem to find is that the Christian religion and its spin offs seem to SAY it discourages divorce but doesn't have those same actions in practice. While on the other hand the Islamic faith also discourages divorce but accepts it as a normal practice and it is spoken of in the Quran. With my Christian upbringing and experiences I have a serious aversion to divorce in the case of my marriage. I have not figured out what or why exactly I am standing so strongly but I am. Instead of just falling into the darkness of divorce I am instead choosing to step into the light of faith. Believing that ANYTHING is possible.

My sister and I talked last night and I was happy to support her in her choice to dissolve her marriage and she was happy to support me in my stand for mine. I think that was really standing in the light. Standing for what I believed while not standing in the way of others beliefs.
