It’s behind me, but I can still see it.

I was robbed, blind.

If my body were a house, it would be like I left all the windows and doors unlocked.

…It would be like I allowed someone undeserving to come in and take everything I had.

…It would be like the only thing they needed to be armed with was charm and a smile.

…It would be like I must not have cared too much about about the things I worked so hard for.

…It would be like I wasn’t even “woke” enough to put insurance on my stuff.

And all because I left the keys on the counter, they took the cars out of my garage. They couldn’t take them home so they left them behind.

They were able to get away with everything. They didn’t even leave my safe. The only thing they left behind was my heart to go in its place.

My house (I) was left empty.

I thank God for my right mind- THE right mind. My mind is well enough to know that when we lose a lot, we leave room to gain a lot. What someone steals (joy, happiness, peace), God is going to restore. What you didn’t keep, God never intended for you to have in the first place.

The cars (my babies) and my heart are all that I was left with. The safe (my security) will be replaced. Overtime, my house (I) will be renovated.

Until God opens new doors, I’ll be sure to praise him in the hallway.

Until Next Time…
