I know it's 1-something in the morning, but this spilling of words won't relent until I release them. So prepare for some blogger spillage.
I just got off the phone with a friend. We had a long, challenging, difficult yet beautiful conversation that revealed his incredible fear of the unknown future;
which made me realize
I am jobless. I am single. And I have 14 dollars to my name.
I have no clue what is going to happen tomorrow,
and it is sweeter than Grandma Shirley's homemade chocolate birthday cake.
When I wake up in the morning (which I'm gunna say will be around 10-ish) there waiting for me will be an endless amount of opportunity and possibility.
I can allow my past to tell me that my future will be filled with nothing but disappointment, rejection and failure.
Or I can humbly listen to my past for it's opinion, thank it for all it's worth, and then tell it to sit down and please be quiet.
The key thing here is telling it to be quiet. Because, you see, my past only has one volume; LOUD. And if I continue to let it talk, then I won't be able to hear what the opportunities and possibilities are saying. The future will be drowned out by the past.
I can honestly say that I do not know what God has planned for me in a few minutes, tomorrow, next week, next month, a year from now, ten years from now.... (you get what I am saying).
And on this night of August 26, 2009.... I find pleasure, peace and excitement in that.
It's an adventure waiting to be had.
It's Megan Lee's Adventure.
Goodnight.
