Today I celebrate my spiritual birthday. 9 years ago to this very day my life was changed forever by a single bullet that pierced my chest hitting me an inch away from my heart causing my left lung to collapse. Today I am grateful for that experience I was the hardheaded type and God had to go to great lengths to get my attention I guess the first time I got shot wasnt good enough. After getting shot I sat down and pondered why he left me here when so many others didnt make it. I sat down and counted over a 170 of my peers that I grew up with just in the section of the city I grew up in that had all been killed by senseless violence. I was so very thankful for a second opportunity. I was once taught by a wise man Siddiq Culture that anytime your EGO gets bigger than your life you will loose your life. Those words echoed in my head as I chose God over retaliation. That is the single most important decision that I have made thats the most important decision that anybody can make. Choose wisely! I came to the realization that you may live 80-90 years on this earth if you are blessed but you have to go somewhere for eternity. In making that decision there have been some good days and some rocky times but IM SO VERY THANKFUL THAT I HAD GOD TO GO THROUGH THOSE DAYS WITH ME! They say its better to have God and not need him than to need him and not have him. I say you always need him. As I look over the nine years since Sept 11, 2005 and look at my life all I can say is look at God. I wouldnt trade this experience for the world God is so good I just wanted to share my testimony with yall
