Big Keith’s Birthday Weekend

Today I’m reflecting on my weekend. I kind of celebrated my birthday with my friends & family. I had a really good time seeing people that I hadn’t seen in a long time. I do miss my son a lot though. He’s still in Detroit & was unable to make it. As I woke up on my birthday I didn’t really know how to feel. I woke up & let my legs hang over the bed & I just stared into space. I thanked God for another year. I look back over the past ten years of my life & I realize how far I’ve come. I’ve made a lot of mistakes over the past ten years but over all I think I did fairly well. I have a beautiful wife & kids. My career continues to flourish but I still had a since I emptiness. I’m not sure what I feel but I find myself wanting more from myself & life. I don’t know what I want though. I have everything I ever wanted. I couldn’t think of anything I don’t have that I want or need, but I still wanted more. I then knew what it was that I really wanted & that was a personal relationship with God. I pray often & read my bible but did I really know God? I stated to speak to God like he was sitting with me & immediately I noticed that sense of comfort surround me. I felt safe. I know what you’re thinking; no I’m far from crazy, but listen to what I’m saying….I felt safe. When you feel safe you smile more & live life like you have no worries. Sure the bill collectors will still call but your peace of mind will be there for you. I don’t know where I’m going with this but I felt like I needed to blog this morning & share my feelings. Praying & going to church are all important things but try to really know God. Have a personal relationship with him. Talk “out loud” to him, he’s listening.

Signed,
"BIG" KEITH
