Wednesday

Father, it has been 2006 days since my last post...

Ten days after my last post, I was asked the question I had been waiting for almost two years to hear.  
Ten days after my last post, I was sitting at BB Rovers, discussing, crying, arguing, deciding, longing, and fearing the anticipation of what the future would bring.  
Ten days after my last post, I enjoying a brisk Sunday night chill.  I remember it well.  I hope I never forget it.  From the taste of light beer, to the sound of the band playing at "The Parrish" downtown, to the excitement of relationship, love, and future potential, when I close my eyes, I can remember it all.  

And I smile.

I am thankful for that night and the many nights that followed.
I am grateful for the lessons learned and love lost.
I am honored to have been able to grow up in ways that I did not know I needed.

And I smile.

Today is a new day.
Today holds the potential for more.
Today promises greatness.

And I smile.

I am the keeper of my happiness.
I am the leader of my people.
I am the architect of my days.

And I smile.

Ten days from now, I will board a ship that promises relaxation and rest.
Ten days from now, I will forge new and deeper friendships with acquaintances.
Ten days from now, I will breathe easy in hopes of reconnecting with myself.

And I smile.

Father God, find me again.
Father God, remind me again.
Father God, guide me again.
