Hello out there in Cyberland, its ya boy Skel here.
I have been gone for a minute now and quite a lot has changed. My struggles with our great countries Armed Forces has finally bared the desired fruit and I have reached new heights in my personal life as well. All this must be and and can only be attributed to GOD and his good graces. Since I have last made an entry I have moved to a different city, gained and sustained suitable employment, just recently moved in to my own apt. No one can ever tell me that GOD isn't real. It has been a long and hard road to get to this point and I am grateful that I am finally on this side. There were times when I didn't think I was gonna make it, w in fact my eyes welled up with tears on January 1 of this year because I honestly didn't think I would live to see that day. Yet I did, and GOD followed it up with more days filled with bigger and better breakthroughs and delivered promises.
I have only been here since the end of January but in those few short months soooooo much in my life is just completely different. My other entries have been about obtaining and going after things, keeping your faith and knowing where your help really comes from. For me its GOD, who then enables me to draw strength from with in myself. Its kind of funny when you realize that the things that you have been working and striving for could actually work out the way you planned. Get a lil tickled when I think about it. I have talked about on here and in my everyday about me coming in to my own and being the man God has been pruning and grooming to be, and here I stand ready to make my mark in this world as a person who is saved and has an ever evolving and strengthening bond with God. All the thoughts and ideas I have had swirling in my head are falling in to place or taking an actual shape of a plan. Something and I can work on an work with to moved beyond my now.
I entitled this post "It Begins at the Beginning" because that's where I am at in my life, no longer bewildered at any crossroads. I have learned my lessons and now its time to move on with my life. Sounds prolific but what does it really mean? I have contemplated this for I don't know how many days and hours. ( SMILE ) I have finally concluded that I needed to survey where I was in life and what I was left with on this side of the storm. I have accepted my quirks and idiosyncrasies and embraced them bound and determined to allow the Lord to use them to make way for me. Next I thought it best for me to really think about this lil tid bit of information, "What exactly is it you wanna do?" That one had me stumped, I have it to admit, but I have a direction now with many possibilities and opportunities in sight. I know who I am and who I am striving to be and a lil bit about how I am going to go about getting there. And I mean everything, from family to friends, lovers, career. From here on out I want people to know me as the same kind of person. A hard working, fun loving, ambitious man that does what he says he is going to do, big dreams and all. So here is life's beautiful lil smile at me, how do you navigate through a beginning and an end simultaneously? It begins at the beginning.
Who were you when this journey began? What mistakes and/missteps did you take, and are you sure that you wouldn't make the same slips again? I am walking through the open door God has put before me and I am not looking back but I will never ever forget where MY GOD brought me from.
This ya boy signing off saying go love on somebody a lil goes a long way. Love Peace and lollipops and by God be with you until you return to him.
