When my head came back up out of the water and I wiped the water from my face and eyes, I really felt like my skin, my mind and my heart was cleansed. Cleansed from the past wrongs, mistakes, and troubles. I know it does not change anything in the past or make anything right but it only helps me learn and grow.
I was in and out of trouble a lot through my adolescent years and made some very poor choices. I used to look back at those times and feel really ashamed and disappointed. But after a day like today, how can someone be ashamed of their self? I realize and understand that those days are small parts of someone else's bigger plan for me.
I have opened my eyes, heart and mind to that there really is a person out there bigger than me, my parents, the sky, the universe.
Renada's and my paths did not cross by accident. I really do believe she was my angel sent to me by God to help me complete his plans for me. God has given us the blue prints to our lives and we have only just begun it. We have brought a beautiful boy into this world and now we get to watch him grow into a Godly man.
