Awakend by Color

I remember when I was young I used to think that I hated black and white movies. I couldn't imagine life without color. Then when I was a teenager I was introduced to Audrey Hepburn (not in real life, just on the screen) and movie watching was never the same. The classic black and white movies leave something to the imagination, not just from the lack of color but by the lack of spelling it all out, especially when it comes to love scenes. But they are so romantic, and riveting. I think they are simpler and remind of us of simpler times as some would say, even if we never lived through "simple times" they let us dream of them. I think I would describe my relationship with God for the last two years like a black and white movie. Simple, not all spelt out for me, and romantic in the fact that I was hopeful for more of him.
I think in the last month I have been seeing in color. Not all the time but I get trailers. Sometimes these scenes are more beautiful than anything I have scene before and at other times they are too vibrant, glaring. They are too truthful and hard to watch. But he is awakening me. Slowly, thank goodness. I am being honest and that is hard, but real and as some may same life giving. It may not be a beautiful life, but a real one, unlike the black and white objects on a screen.
