In less than 72 hours I will be saying hi from another location in the world! How intense is it to fathom the fact that people move beyond borders completely immersing themselves into something that they've never been into, seen, smelt or ever discovered! I sent a futuristic welcome message to a pal of mine who was to arrive at the destination in which i will be spending the next four months of my life! Kinda cool huh?
Anyhoo, couple things are resonating within me that I believe should be thought aloud.
1) Never underestimate the power of words! In my case, they have been like secret injections that have cured my insecurities, doubts, loneliness and other not-so-good-things! My mother spoke to me almost everyday this past week her words blanketed my fears and reassured me that everything was going to be fine. My sister eloquently planted the seeds of encouragement when she said "Delayed but not denied!". Or my dad saying that EVERYTHING will work out in your favor! I kid not these seemingly minor exhortations have carried me through many high waters.
2) Keeping being you! While attending a Trini event last night, I had a friend disclose how much I've impacted her life. [picture me holding my hands over my mouth....with the usual expression of OMG LOL Brendon] WHOAAA! She had said that she was inspired because of how inspirational i was! What did I do?
**I be me!**
That's what I say. Aim high, Dream big, Laugh jovially, forgive often, and sing your vocal chords out when stressed!
3) Have faith! What is faith? i think the Bible does justice when it defines it to mean the evidence of things hoped for, for those things that are unseen! My evidence was feelings, words, joy, loyalty and the like! A friend of mine, over some Japanese dinner asserted that faith loves the fearless. I acquiesce.
As I embark on this portion of my destiny, I shout from the mountain top, a great THANK YOU to all the people who've stolen a piece of my heart! Too many to name but you know who you are. To the people who've played instruments of encouragement, my song goes out to you. May it be sung over dancing, smiling, warmth and a good glass of Merlot! :)
congrats B' wooooooooooooow Jesus reigns and rules in the affairs of men.to GOD be the glory, I know you never doubted and I never doubted.....ohhhhhhhhh what a testimony we must talk bro.
