Whenever I meet upon grace on my path, I can't help but be humbled. When I encounter acts of mercy, I recognise just how blessed I am. I no longer just get ecstatic, but I also go to a place where I am just thankful that God manages to listen to and answer the prayers of little insignificant me.
Not every answer comes the way I want them, but I know that He ultimately knows best.
I do still find incredible order in my life and the fact that one thing seems to lead to another. All things are connected. There is such purpose on my life that I really ought to spend my time sharing my light with the world.
I have no business being sad and depressed and unhappy for extended periods. God is in control and His grace is truly sufficient.
I am loved. I mean REALLY loved. There are many people who would really hurt for years to come if I were to leave this earth too soon. There are lives that I have made a good impact on in my short 28 years. There are lovers past and one present who have loved me for long and will always do so. There are people who hurt when I hurt, who share my joys and sorrows, who get mad with me when I do something stupid, and who will take care of me if I am no longer in a position to do so myself. There are people who are involved in my life, whose lives intertwine with mine, and mine with theirs, and who feel that my presence in their lives adds to their happiness.
That is so big. So huge. So absolutely phenomenal. So powerful. And not in a pompous way... but to the contrary, so humbling. I am big, yet small, and small yet big.And you know the secret of this life? I am no different from you. We all are.
If somebody had told me all that would have happened in my life over this decade by some clairvouyant intuition, I would have not even been able to comprehend it all. I am happy that I have had to find my own way, and go through my own growing pains one day at a time.
I did the right thing in coming here. I am doing the right thing in leaving now. Life does not abide only by things on paper. Sometimes, it is good to know what voice to listen to.
Be in tuned.

Callin My Name
by Hezekiah Walker
How many times do I go against your will? Then you forgive me but yet I still, turn around and do the things, the things I shouldn't do 'cause I belong to you and I know you will come through.
Lord I know I take advantage of your grace here in this Christian race. (OOH)
But yet I still hear you calling my name.
(Soloist):
Verse One
How many times would it take for me to learn? That it's only in your will I'll ever earn, I'll ever earn my life's reward. The honor due to me, life eternally. Riches in glory. Lord I know, I know I don't belong with you cause I've done wrong. But yet I still hear you calling my name.
Verse Two
How many times do I go against your will? Then you forgive me but yet I still, I turn around and do the things, the things I shouldn't do 'cause I belong to you and I know you will come through.
Lord I know, I know I don't belong with you cause I've done wrong. Oh but yet I still hear you calling my name.
(Vamp):
You're calling my name to come into your arms. To be safe from fear and harm knowing this but I still chose to go my way. And you still say, you say that I am he who will supply your every need. Oh Lord I've sinned but your still calling my name.
