It was time I picked up my pencil and wrote again. If you don't know my story, my birthday brings a lot of memories- good and bad. This year, it has been extremely tough - I have been plagued with old memories and past chains that USED to surround me and keep me shackled.
This is what I wrote in response and my cry out to God.
October 18th, 2004
I can still remember that dark night, some years ago.
I was ready to give up the ultimate fight- the fight for my own life.
I sped down that road without a second thought in my mind.
Oncoming traffic- headed my way.
Your voice was so strong in my head- NO! GO THE OTHER WAY!
I straightened out my steering wheel and kept on my way.
Up ahead, there was a break in the rail. On the otherside; a steep, dark hill.
Faster and faster I sped- headed that way.
Again, I could hear your voice- NO! GO THE OTHER WAY!
I kept going late into the night, finally finding my way home.
In one last attempt, I reached into my trunk to grab what should have been there.
My hands came out empty. In that moment, I realized you wouldn't let me die.
I look back at that night; thankful you didn't let me go.
My story has not yet ended because you have a greater plan instore for me.
