First of all, thanks to my friend who is more like a brother to me, Milton Williams, for sharing this. I drive back and forth to Biloxi 2-3 times a week. Over 2 hours going and 1.45 min coming back. I do this because of a commitment that Ive made to the team. Its not about me. Tonight, it seems like I couldnt get on the road to get back to NOLA fast enough. When I realized that it was going to be a minute, I just relaxed. Well, I was on I-10 in downtown New Orleans when I noticed a bunch of glass in the road. Suddenly, cars and trucks began to break. I put my hazards on to alert vehicles behind me to slow down. There appeared, right in the middle of the 2 lane interstate, a car, smashed to pieces. It had no tail lights because it was smashed in so badly. When I passed the car, I noticed the headlights were on, along with the hazard lights. I didnt see any people standing near and there were no other cars involved, or at least, not at the scene. When I could, I dialed 911. (Had to reboot my crazy phone). There was no shoulder for me to pull over and offer assistance. So I made sure that I contacted help. Now, as I sit here on my couch, safely at home, and full of a Monster energy drink, my mind cant help but to think...what if Id gotten on the road when I wanted to leave. Its good to obey that small still voice that tells you to just chill. Home will be there when you get there. So much has happened in my life. At times I cry, not because Im sad, but because I honestly dont know where Id be without the Lord. Hes keeping me. I have lost people that are so near and dear to my heart, but Hes keeping me. I have been homeless and could have given up. But Hes keeping me. When I was a click of the trigger from ending it all, He stepped in...Hes keeping me. When I get down because Im not getting promoted and I know Ive earned it, He reminds me to chill...Hes keeping me. When I get frustrated because Ive worked hard to fly but this injury is keeping me grounded, He lets me know know that Hes keeping me. Hes keeping me and thats more than enough. Thank you Lord, for keeping me, not because of, but in spite of.
