i’m not who I was

Yes, it’s amazing - how God can work through regular-life things, such humble things like hair salons and hair cuts and myspace and Chris Brown. That is why I love him and he has truly never let me down and has not let me down today.

“Tonight is the night,” God said. “I’m gonna take you there. Don’t be scared. I’m right here. Ready?” And without waiting for an answer: “We can go anywhere. Anywhere you dream. But first it is your chance: Take my hand - Come with me.”

And then it’s like I’ve waited my whole life for this one night - the night before my new life is given the jump start. What I am I doing here? I really don’t know. But God does. It’s funny how even when I decied not to work God is still working for me. He won’t let me give up. And, Lord, I will not either.

“Okay. I’m driving,” He says to me. “You can take the front seat. Just trust me. I am about to do something brand new. It’s bursting out. Don’t you see it?”

And I look out the window into the old vast desert of my furture and there, right in the middle of it all, is a new clear blue stream gleaming with hope and life lived abundantly.

He has made a way and I have taken it.
