Hello Hive Open Mic family! 😍

The theme which says Beacon of light is a unique one that can be interpreted in different contexts.
According to Google, A beacon is a light or a fire, usually on a hilltop or tower, which acts as a signal or a warning. A beacon of light is a lighthouse that is set on a hill.
For me, God is my beacon of Light. He leads me, he signals me, he guides me.
I try to emulate his footsteps.

It's for that reason that I chose a song by Tatiana Manaois titled Mountains. The song speaks of how God led the singer when she was in a state of confusion, and how all her challenges ( mountains) would still be right in front of her if God had not led her.

Likewise, I resonate with the song. God as my Beacon of Light is the reason I've made it this far. If not for His grace, I'd definitely be down, cold with an empty broken heart as the song says.

I hope you enjoy the presentation.

Lyrics - Mountains By Tatiana M.

When I handed You my pieces
All the broken ones
I knew it was You I needed
Needed all along
And I don't know when I turned away
Away from who I was called to be
But I knew that when I felt Your grace
It's You that's always calling me

Now I know that You still know me
The me that You have always known
And I need for You to show me
Show me where I need to go
'Cause the mountains You moved
They would have stayed if I was on my own
So I will not move until You say
'Til you say to go, oh

I'd be somewhere lost, somewhere far away
If it wasn't for You, mm
I'd be all alone in the strangest place, yeah
If it wasn't for You
I'd be down, I'd be cold with a broken empty heart
I'd be trying to keep hold so I won't just fall apart
But you love came and told me that You will never part
And that I will never be alone
And then it told me You still know me
The me that You have always known
So I need for You to show me
Show me where I need to go
