So tonight Juan and I attended a graduation for Alexandria Morffi in Longwood Florida. It was a Christian High School graduation. They only had 60 graduates but the ceremony was 2 1/2 hours long. It was so intimate. I thought to myself this would never happen Im SFL. We prayed and all the speeches touched me. One speech was from a Chinese girl that came to America for a better education. She had host families and she has dedicated her life to God. She came at the age of 15 not knowing the language and has graduated with honors, knowing God and a new language. I was so impressed by her courage and strength. She left her family and know is a better person. Then Mr. Yates came up and gave his speech to the graduating class. He shared his love for Christ and a personal story. He lost his twin daughters just 3 weeks ago. His belief in God and his love for teaching touched every single person in that audience. Then after the ceremony we gather at a quant restaurant called Chianti’s. I was fortunate to sit across another cancer survivor. Her name is Laura and her loving husband Benny. She talked about her cancer and her last four years. How she was recently in the hospital for six days and how she lives with a colostomy bag. As they say when you think you have it bad there is always someone else worse. We shared horror stories. She said I gave her hope and she gave me the same. I learned so much in one night, God is great! I am not sure how one can’t believe but I will not judge. Then as Juan and I drove home we started to discuss the night events and all of a sudden a dear pop out of the street. Tonight was the first night since my DMX that I actually had the seat belt across my chest. I held the front belt. And as Juan stepped on the brakes I screamed “OMG”! I thanked God once again tonight for not allowing a terrible accident to occur. Too much has happened in one simple night for one not to notice the presence of God! Maybe just maybe it is times like these that help us understand that we are not here on this earth for ourselves but for a greater purpose!
I am blessed! I got this!
