This was too good NOT to post: This story is proof that God has another plan for our lives that’s different from our trajectory.
🚨 LONG SERIOUS POST🚨
Title: The Game Been Good To Me
Ford Arena in Beaumont Texas. A lot of people don’t know this story, This is the same place where I almost died and my life changed forever. Stemming from an off the field altercation I was stabbed my brain was bleeding and I fell out and had seizures from the injury. Minutes before that episode I was about to play in the game. I was unconscious for 3 days in the hospital. When I came through my mama was standing over me and I said.
Me: What u doing here?
Mama: Nugga u almost died.
I was changed, anybody that know me know I was fearless my whole life, after this ordeal I was different. I was afraid of my own shadow literally, I wasn’t the dog I was before. The doctors said that I shouldn’t play Arena Football anymore and and my mom and coaches felt the same. I took a year off and returned to football the following year. I was far from 100% with blurry vision and a tingling sensation down my spine and I was scared. God had a plan for me as I was traded to Sioux City Iowa and was brought in as the highest paid runningback in the league and to follow up Fred Jackson who was taken by the Buffalo Bills a year before. I thought was closer to the NFL after Jackson tore the league up and I was his replacement. I got there and played my first game and played the worst game of my life, two weeks later I was sent back to Texas to my old team. I was determined to prove that I still had it even at the expense of my life. That Saturday we played a team from Florida in the same Arena where I almost died and I scored 5 touchdowns in 1 half of football. 2 days later the team folded because of financial issues and that would be my last time playing football. God let me taste success in the game for 1 last time and I was satisfied, I returned home and the journey I’m on now began. I’m forever grateful for this journey God carried me on and I wouldn’t change anything.
