Purpose in Adversity

Broken and neglected cast out and forgotten unloved and scarred hopeless and scared. Life taught me that if I was going to learn to love anything or anyone else I would first have to love myself. My developing a love for the game of basketball while navigating life's journey for purpose resulted in me finding a beautiful path orchestrated by the King. What has led me to prominence has been a desire for what is greater than me. God's truth about who I am and what he's called me to be led me to my destiny. There came a decisive shift in my life a pivotal point when things that sought to destroy me no longer defeated me. Rather I was changed; I was new. My maturation into who God desired for me to be dismantled the victimization I felt by circumstances that haunted me. The essence of time has a healing power unmatched by gifted hands. I appropriated a mind-set that activated God's truths into my life.
