Dear God,

You didn’t get enough credit today. I just want to say thank you for putting up with me over the years. You’ve always been there as I’m trying to change my life around. I want to thank you for giving me time to overcome my addiction. I knew it was time to stop and I finally did. I feel amazing + I use my free time to workout or get into other projects. My mind is at ease now.
I guess time does heal all.

Dear God,

I want every single box checked off when I meet my wife. I won’t accept any fake copies of who I’m not suppose to be with in this world. Everything you have in stored for me will be precious. Because that lets me know I’m ready for the next level.
I consistently ask for this gift because I’m working on myself to get ready for that moment. I want to be ready for the good times, bad times, and struggle times. I want her to see I’m 100% committed without any doubts on both sides. I am the head, never the tail. More importantly, I want you, God,  to see my growth and be proud.

Dear God,

Continue to reveal everything to me.
Let me see what you see father
so I move accordingly to any and all doors that’s in-stored for me.

Dear God,

I don’t want to keep sinning , even though I already am

I don’t want to be greedy with money, even though I have to survive with cash.

I don’t want to chase after flesh, yet temptation is calling me.

I don’t want to hurt nobody, but society really likes to test me.

I don’t want to make anyone my idol, but my actions are similar to mimicking my favorite character on Television.

Dear God,

We always ask you to reveal people’s attentions. Then have you remove them out of our lives when we get treated wrong.
But what most of us don’t do is give ourselves time to heal nor send healing energy. We allow our emotions to run wild sometimes.

Dear God,

I been sending healing energy, giving my time away genuinely , and this mental strength you provided, through me, to others for years now.

But who’s sending healing energy for the strong? Who’s sending healing energy to me?

Draining sweat out of my mind on the black line
wondering how the hell did we get here???…

one minute it’s 5on5.
i’m on the JV squad beating varsity with ease.
intense energy arise.

next minute, coach is ******. has all of us on the line like soldiers. running in sections of groups of 3-4

varsity runs first
JV next
freshman third
whoever’s left just run last.

as we look at the scoreboard,
the death clock is set for one minute.
all we have to do is beat the clock
before time runs out,
otherwise we keep running.

a full-court “Kentucky Derby” sprint
and yet, we’ve been practicing for 7 hours
on a school night.
mentally exhausted
from homework due tomorrow.
physically in pain from the drills.

Coach yells: “NEXT GROUP!”

dam_. here we go.

Coach: “GO!”
**tick, tick, tick
