Today is a good day, and now it’s time to realize that every day I wake up is another day to improve myself and that the Creator has found favor in me. I wake up with the awareness that this is the day the Creator has made, and I will rejoice in it. There are challenges I face that are not unique to me; they go along with being human yet divine, first and foremost.
I live my life with a sense of gratitude, having 71 years of experience, the cyclical nature of life, and the fact that trials and tribulations have produced the diamond in the rough that I have become. In retrospect, looking at the events that have transpired in my life, it took everything, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I would take anything or do anything different. We are a composite of the totality of our existence.
It’s through the mercy and the grace of the Creator that I am still here and have not lost my joyful nature, and rejoice knowing that the Creator ordered the steps of my life. I understand the value of leaning on the Lord and not on my own understanding, trusting in him with all my might and knowing, with surety, that he would direct my path.
My road was not easy, but the Creator did not bring me this far to leave me alone. I reference my history with mental health challenges as my guidepost, and how what the enemy meant for my destruction, the Creator meant for my good. There is no secret to what the Creator can do. I marvel at the medical community, but I delight in the fact that the Creator made us in the best of molds, and our bodies display how wonderful we are.
Our bodies show you we are spirit beings housed in a body. Consistent with the theme that God needed a body to house his, so he made man.
