3 years Ago...

As the day closes I must end it in gratitude. Three years ago today, April 15, 2021, I was fighting for.my life but I wasn't alone. God was with me. The interssors, family and friends were  fighting with me through prayer and BIG expectations. Although the doctor told everyone to prepare for the worse, I am so glad that I had an army of people who believed a miracle was possible and I was in agreement with them all. I AM proof that when we gather in real anticipation and petion God. We will be blessed I indeed. So thank you.

The Ugly Wall

In an ICU bed, during the following days of my accident I would experience moments of partial clarity because I was under sedation and going in and out of surgery after surgery. In these moments where I would be somewhat aware of my surroundings I would see this ugly wall. This wall would make me angry everytime I saw it but it became a focal point of if things were real or a hallucination. This was a textured glass wall with some kind of pink flower behind it. Of course it contained a part where my nurse and tech names were and then room number I was in, but that wall was ugly as hell.  The amount of pain I was in was unspeakable and they failed to manage the pain because they would not listen to me. I sustained multiple injuries that included severe and total nerve damage of my right leg. Even with all the pain and constant attempts at sedation, I knew one thing for sure, that wall was ugly. The accident happened in Sicklerville, NJ on April 15, 2021. That was exactly one year ag...

5 YEARS

Today marks the 5 year anniversary of the motorcycle accident which occured April 15, 2021. Five years ago my life was saved but also drastically changed, some would name April 15th my "alive date". As I take this time to reflect on that day and the journey through the last five years it causes me to internally audit myself on various levels. The first being connections and relationships. To make it plain, all my relationships weither familial, business, platonic or romantic are solid but lacking substance. I know that may seem bleak and possibly ungrateful but it's the truth.  I've gone through a lot in these past five years and while people have showed up for me in major ways, I still feel somewhat disconnected. Take my relationship with mom for instance, since day one she has been by my side and at the ready whenever I need her and yet I feel like I haven't done enough to thank her to show my appreciation, not for the lack of love or gratitude but moreso becaus...

Contemplating over Complaining

Every day since April 15, 2021, I have had something I could have complained about. I still have substantial complaints that could justify any unproductive action  I could choose to take.  From the excruciating consistent pain, mobility deprivation to the lack of financial stability, I could at any moment present signs of depression or worse. However, there is a scripture that comes to mind that can somewhat depict why that is NOT my story.        "Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6‭-‬7 NLT) God's peace is absolutely beyond comprehension. I can not by any means credit myself with anything except choice. I can smile and be productive not because everything is okay but simply because I have been gr...
