Day 7 Completion

I finally made the trip down. I'm here and now I'm ready to take the next step for the future. The future is the scariest thing to people because one it involves change, two because you have no control of the unknown, and three it is a 50/50 chance that you might fail. The fact of the matter is that God won't let you fail at his plan. So in saying that I want to thank you, the reader. You have inspired me to be innovative and go beyond my own comprehension to reach for the stars. I haven't had this much faith in a long time and this trip is just one more step to the future. So I appreciate all of you who take the time to read my blog and respond. I will miss all of you guys who are close friends, and I will be praying for your success on your future en devours and also your own leap of faiths. So for now this is Goodbye; but mostly this is thank you and see you later.

Day 6 Good times

I can't help but enjoy the good times. I've been traveling all over since this week began visiting people and or doing things that I haven't done since I was an undergraduate student. So now I'm listening to GreenDay - I hope you had the time of your life. This song bring back a lot of great memories and just having fun with folks. It's sad, and feels warm, and safe at the same time; but I know it has to end. Thanks to everyone's well wishes, I'm not scared of the future. The future can pretty much be whatever God designs it to be. It's exciting, though I can't help but feel like I have to tell someone something or confess a great love; but I've done that already. I really believe I'm ready to move on. I pray that I see you all someday in the future. I love you all and hope you keep reading. Thank you.

Day 5 It's so hard to say Goodbye

So I've been individually telling people goodbye. The funny thing is, is that things seem to be just falling into place. I haven't been chewed out by people or even family when I told them I was on my way out. I talked to even my boss today and she looked at me and was all smiles. I now stand before God, bare, and open to his word. God, it's so funny how you shape people's hearts to your will. Now that I follow you, you've convinced everyone that this is what is to be. I am happy, so though the song says it's so hard to say Goodbye to yesterday, I stand here smiling saying I'm more looking forward to saying hello to tomorrow.

Day 4 Face the Music

So after all the parties and hoopla, I'm left with just me. Everyone has said their goodbyes and I'm left to my own devices and to do with my time as I will. I often come to the conclusion of now what? I've done all the cliche movie type leaving sequences and yet I still feel like this is so unreal. I went to work and told my boss and with a grin on his face he said true, and kept it moving. I'm wondering for the first time was this so called "life" just waiting for me to leave it and begin something better? Now I sit in my room typing and the only thing I can think of is the music that played at the end of the scrubs series finale. The words say, "The book of Love, is long and boring; and no one can lift a damn thing. It's full of charts, and facts and figures; and instructions for dancing; but I------ I love it when you read to me, but you------- you can read me anything. The book of love has music in it, in fact that's where music comes from." Your probably like what is he talking about, but just watch it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytXEtbC4OqA&feature=related and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. One more step towards facing my music.

Day 3 Seires Finaly

Series Finales are somber, sad times. I consider myself in the midst of one right now. I'm on that episode just before the conclusion when everyone is gathering together and whatever issues need to be worked out are getting done. Today I had a day of good byes. I ate at a table full of great people and though I was talking, my heart was still. I wanted to absorb all their faces and all their expressions so when I needed to remember them I could. I even remember the waitress who's name was turquoise and I'm upset that she actually was attractive and not some person talking out the side of her face. I wish I had a better speech to say, but I couldn't contain myself if I did. I'm going to miss everyone passionately. I can still remember the off colored humor, the rude comments, and the strange names that make you say, no, that's not right. I can remember the tough times, and the great times. The one thing I will never forget though, is the love. So as I try to recreate the scrubs finale in real life. I can't help but want to tell each and everyone of you, that I love you and I will always be here for you. And thank you for being a friend.

Day 2 Long day to say goodbye

Today was rough. I trained for one of the last times a Howard university. It was a sober practice but at the same I'm glad to have seen all my kids grow and develop. I can't help but continually battle in my mind the things I've done and still could be doing here. But when I think of staying, I begin thinking of gray skies and still plans. I'm actually excited now to take this trip. So I told my mother, and with a worry in her eye she told me she was proud of me, hugged me, and began the good bye process. I've been told several times I can't leave without having a phone. So Unless some miraculous money shows in my account I don't foresee a phone being in my future. I've been getting questioned left and right about this and honestly I don't have all the answers. All I know is that this is the first step to following Christ, "Drop your nets and follow me". So I lay my nets down, and walked. I believe he has something amazing for me though I cannot see it. I just hope you guys reading this enjoy the ride as much as I do living it. Maybe I'll blog about you sometime.

Day 1 Leap of Faith

So this is the beginning of the blog about the leap of faith where I'm moving hopefully to my new home or my place where I can grow and develop. I decided today to tell my, well one of my best friends and brother that I'm leaving. I think I almost fell apart because, he was blow. I waited till the week before leaving to tell him. I'm really praying this isn't a Abraham thing and as I'm about to leave God says hey don't go. It's coming down to the wire. I've talked to AIM, and they are ready to receive me. Ugh! This is becoming real so quick but this is my leap of faith. I hope to take pics and paste them on this blog, but if not; you'll always have my stolen pictures from the internet. I appreciate you guys for joining me during this huge move, and I pray it's just as great a read as it is an experience, God bless.
