It’s another day’s journey and I’m glad (sing with me now).. I’m glad about it! Oh, I’m glad … I’m glad about it!
Yes sah! See, I could have been found with my eyes closed and the blood in my veins cold by my husband this morning, but I’m alive. I could have opened my eyes without being able to see the sun, but they work just as they did on yesterday. I could have gotten out of bed to find that my legs wouldn’t let me stand or my hands wouldn’t let me grab a hold of things but that didn’t happen either because they still worked. I found that my brain was working and my heart was still beating; my muscles, veins and all my organs were doing their job so I had no reason to complain. My air still worked, water was still hot, food was in the refrigerator and my car was still parked outside. My husband is doing well, kids still being kids, grams still rocking and rolling, momma still doing her thang in spite of sickness trying to take over her body, all my sisters and brothers are alive and blessed; and there isn’t another link missing from our family chain. Oh, when I tell you that God is beyond amazing, it’s because I know Him to be and not because someone told me. When I think back over my life and where I could have been, I rejoice. When I think about the many times folk counted me out, I rejoice. When I think about the times I wanted to give up or give in and yet God wouldn’t allow me too, I rejoice. When I think that I’m not good enough for God’s blessings, He drops more in my lap and simply says to me, “You’re mine and you’re worthy,” I rejoice! When I think about the fact that I should have been, by folk’s standards and judgment; a drug abuser, alcoholic, a whoremonger walking the streets or simply a “ghetto chick” because I was raised in the ghetto yet God has chosen me to do His will, I still rejoice! Because He didn’t have to give me a mind to want more, a mind to do more, a mind to be more; He didn’t have to surround me with a strong mother, strong grandparents and strong role models in teachers and administrators; but He did and because He did, I rejoice today! Yea, this is my testimony because even though I still have days where I don’t feel worthy, God makes me worthy. Even when I feel like I don’t deserve God’s favor, He keeps adding favor to my living. When I feel like He has done enough, He continues to drop blessings in my bucket. When I feel like my storm is getting the best of me, God allows the SON to shine through the clouds. Oh, I feel like rejoicing this morning because God is simply that good!
And just when I think God has outdone Himself, he turns right around to bless me, ME; someone who isn’t perfect, who still makes mistakes, who still knows how to curse, who will bless you real good when you get out of line and who doesn’t mind standing up for the things she believes in especially family. Yes God has surely been good to me because when His word says that your gift will make room for you, He kept his promise. And because He has kept His promise, I will keep mine and that is by sharing God’s word with you.
