You asked me that when I got released from jail back in March.

I don’t think I understood, really, what you were asking. I realize now that because there is nothing to you—no God, no belief, no faith—then nothing is all you will ever have. You call it realism.

For you, this has nothing to do with God.

But what a beautiful way for me to experience His unending grace and mercy.

Today I wanted coffee before work. You know sometimes the GPS finds you a coffee shop but it ends up being inside a hospital or a shopping center?

That happened to me this morning, but it was a church. A new church centered around UCF students, a community I can feel invited to. Even in the midst of losing who I thought was the most important person in the world, I am reminded that I am not losing anything at all. I am gaining what more there is to come. This is between me and my God.

What a beautiful assurance to know that the One who made the stars and the sun, is also in charge of the plans in my life.

He has plans to prosper you, too. I hope you follow your heart.
