I was always down for whatever, down for my peoples. Let's go with the flow. This life thing is easy, simple. There was no black and white to decipher, just one large shade of gray and nothing was clear to me, but I thought everything. So, my peoples, are my peoples still my peoples or is that something I have to evalute. Collectively my peoples are not what I consider my peoples any more, but I care about each and every one PERSON individually who I ever considered my people in the first place. Thing is, I know who my peoples are now. Who they are is not related to skin color. It's God's family. My Christian brothers and sisters are my peoples now and I no longer have the need to identify purely with other people who are also some shade of brown. Don't get me wrong because I haven't washed away my skin color, it's just not a major factor in my life anymore. No longer seeking fulfillment in my associations, I seek joy in God's love and I strive to become more in touch with Jesus's heart that is in me every day. Guided by the Holy Spirit I have been created anew and if God is not involved, it's not of interest to me. Things are so different now. It's so wonderful to be able to look back on how I was and how my life was and to be able to stand here in this present time and reflect on how good God truly has been to me. Also, it is so awesome to be able to look ahead in to the future and dream about what more He has in store for me.
"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." ~ 2 Corinthians 3:17
