with this experience in drowining, your revelation apparent is now confounding.

And the future holds you.Doesn't it?Or, do you hold it?I would attest it would be a mutual holding. A matter of partnership.Because rather you like it or not, your future is coming. Time's a ticking right now. Now, now, now.and it won't stop. But, even though your future won't stop. You can stop your future.It's possible, yes sir.You can stop your future. Many people have. Even more telling is how people interfere with others futures. Even possibly stopping their advancement in life.Or stopping their life.Ever heard of drunk drivers?How arrogant do they have to be? To make such an assumption, they have the ability to do what they cannot. They're inability to make right decisions seemingly always fall on the innocent. I'm talking drunks. I'm talking when wives and children get beat by belligerent fathers. I'm talking about men who fight each other for stupid reasons. Sometimes resulting in tragedy. I'm talking about the child that was never supposed to be, but, because of peoples narcissistic indulgences they're alive now, and subsequently, suffering the consequences of the immoral and irresponsible parents. I'm talking about the family on the way back from a vacation that would be enjoying rest, but, got hit dead-on on the road by a drunk driver.Your future. Two futures.This is only a sampling of what can happen.
Take that how you would like to. But, must say there are good futures. Futures that prosper and that are outcomes of success. Something of merit, and of good nature. Things that unfold in life as you would have it because you made the best of your future.Success like failure is an option. Of course, I would be immature to assume that circumstances sometimes don't interfere but, more telling is your attitude in the circumstance given, more telling is how you react to the misfortune or contrastingly your abundant fortune.Your incentive for success is a monumental factor in your outcome. **Lets see someone who's got a rich family, a good name, a solid background has got something to keep up, a tradition to carry on and a host of things that facilitate that. Opposite to that is someone that is not so fortune, a broken family, a poor lifestyle and a background of failures, a tradition to carry on, just in different dynamic, and sadly the things that surround them facilitate that. It's not easy to be prosperous when everything is dismantled.It's not easy being a failure when everything is driving.The apple doesn't fall far from the tree?Well, these knowns are not mutually exclusive, and one is not an absolute as the other. There are outcomes that may vary given the factors people accept, people choose, and people battle.I chose to accept something's in my life.I knew I had to make tough decisions.I see battles everyday for my future. Class attendance.Grades.Friends.Networking.All through this I've not mentioned something. Guess what?I'm talking something beyond everything else. There is a peace that gives me the ability to look at life and not be in utter discouragement. There is God.Now looking for God's will is something I'm not going to address, because it's so misconstrued in today's popular Christian ideology. It's just not something I'm going to persuade you in. I'm kind of threatened by what people say God want's me to do. People say certain things and if you don't follow through with them, then, they know what God going to do to you and they'll give you an outcome of your life because apparently they can discern your relationship with the father and how he directs you. I say not so.But, I defiantly believe God has a will for me, I'm trying to figure that out minute by minute. It's something that might change, it's something could shift. It's a idea that I must adapt to. It's ultimately something I just don't know. Nor may I ever know until I'm in heaven. That's something I accept. I think they're many figures in the Bible that didn't know their God-willed at all. Read Habakkuk. I say God has a will for you. His child. I say your future can be rested with peace in His hands and that he can bring you to a host of opportunity if you let him. This word opportunity must be defined really quick.Opportunity does not mean get rich.Does not mean always be happy.It means opportunity. A change from chance. I hope your future is something praiseworthy. Indeed. Praiseworthy.Honor,Valor,Integrity,Trust,Justice,Honesty,Love.Love.Love.
