In The Beginning...
The
beginning of any journey is always the hardest. The steps are on
unfamiliar ground. Many friends and family members will soon be left
behind. There is no guarantee of success.
My journey began
with an unfamiliar call. It was not a telephone ringing, but something
inside resonating to an unfamiliar voice. I would love to say that I
heard HIS voice and ran towards HIM, but the truth is that I heard
something very different and I tried to hide. I began to sabotage my
destiny. I did not always do it on purpose, but the end result was
almost always negative. I tried so hard not to go in the direction of
the voice that I ended up in the reach of the enemy. There was comfort
in the closeness of the enemy, because he also knew of my purpose, my
destiny and my desires. The flesh was not always his weapon of choice,
but it probably did the most damage to me at the time. The thing that I
could not physically escape were also used to beat me down. He also
used my own insecurities...depression, loneliness, pride, but also the
more subtle forms of success and even race.
This is an introduction to the journey of the life that is soon to be revealed...
