I can't say that I'm a religious fanatic.
I can say that I can't make it in this world alone.
Everyone needs someone to call on. A higher power. Someone to call on in times of trouble.
I've been noticing those little miracles are not just "good luck". I'm not saying that I've just noticed these things. I've just realized that I need to acknowledge them. That I haven't been doing on a consistant basis. Now I make it my business to write down every little miracle I experience and thank HIM for it.
Everyone has ups and downs...lately my life has been more downs than ups. Instead of worrying what I had to do in order to make things different, I had to recognize that someone was trying to get my attention.
In order to do that, HE had to bring a sister to her knees just to get me to look up. I've always considered myself spiritually grounded in my own way. I go to church, I fellowship, I pray. In HIS eyes something was missing.
I don't go around quoting Bible versus or rebuking folk left and right. I just realize and acknowledge ALL my blessings. I now know I needed a closer relationship with my Creator and maybe I was running from that because I thought my whole persona would change because of it. It didn't. I still look the same, act the same silliness, laugh the same, love the same, and cry the same. The only difference is that I now thank HIM for allowing me to do all these things. Hell, some people don't get to do any of these things...just for this I'm blessed.
I think I came to really see ME for who I was when someone at work was placed in my path. Then someone I met in a store was placed in my path. Then a neighbor whom I'd always had casual conversation with was placed in my path. They are helping me grow in the way I need to grow. The way I've been longing to grow for a long time but never recognized it.
I haven't changed, my line of thinking has changed.
I'm still very much Daquan. All my thoughts are Daquan. All my actions are Daquan.
I'm just a better Daquan than yesterday. Tomorrow, I will be a better Daquan than today.
Grow with me...
Peace,
Daquan
