Do It in the Dark

Believe it or not, we all have a dark room. You may call it something different or may not recognize it. Nonetheless, that doesn't mean it’s not there. Let’s be clear, I’m not referring to

the “dark side” -evil, scary, death, etc. or the place where you keep all your secrets; neatly tucked away. We’ll save that topic for a later post. I’m talking about that dark place where we develop.
By definition, a darkroom is used for developing photographs, or a room with the absence of light. When I think of such a room, I think quiet, private, and well organized. An atmosphere that requires concentration, focus, and some form of order. My dark room is a space that’s free from clutter, distractions, and the need to speed.
Where is your dark room? Where do you go to escape, imagine, plan, and/or regroup? Some go to their prayer closet or prayer room; while others sit in their vehicles, parked in the driveway. One of my neighbors sit on her patio late at night, when a large portion of the world is sleeping. Where do you go physically, mentally, emotionally, or even spiritually to grow and become a better version of yourself? Remember, greatness develops in dark places. If you can't find the time, make it.
