Color Speak, Episode 17, Turning Mourning into Dancing with Erica Marie Foster

Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color…Color is where you’ll find God.Color is God. It’s his love for you.Nothing can overcome this love. Nothing can separate you from it.His love exists within the dark spaces, in the void places, inside every storm.Light makes this true.What is colorless is often overture. Tonelessness, the prelude to revelation.To talk about what God is doing in splendid color, we must be willing to talk about what is dark too. We must be willing to see beyond the shadows.And as my guest this episode says, we need to acknowledge that God does his best work in caves.  Indeed, he is still coloring our world for us in those places, whether we realize it or not!It helps to know this. To know that the light of God can never be extinguished, and, therefore, that color cannot be erased either.Erica Marie Foster is someone who learned to take her dark mourning into places of colorful dancing. The more she cried out to God for help and embraced her pain, the more His relentless LOVE collided with her deepest human desperation, teaching her in the most beautiful, profound ways how to DANCE upon all her pain and despair.Listen, we can’t celebrate what God is doing here on planet earth without dealing with the realities of the pain and suffering we all must walk through. It's part of being human. But we don't have to dance there. ***Erica Marie Foster has a passion for helping women, and particularly single mothers.
