Morning Cedric, This Is God Calling
You may not find this letter of spiritual advice immaculate, but if
you have faith you’ll understand and receive the blessing. It’s about more than just a football career;
it’s about seeing the gifts of your life unfold in ways you never imagined. I know, I’ve had my eye on you Cedric. You have so much to offer in so many ways,
but like many, there’s been some doubt and many distractions along the
way.
The road of life I made crooked and challenging for reasons only I know. What I’d like you to believe is that every bump, curve and detour placed along your path was put there for your best interest, just as the times your life seemed to be in cruise control, it was I removing some of those worries and burdens. It’s been like that for you since December 28, 1982 and will continue through all your days. For I am always with you.

As an adult I must remind you of the Free Will you’ve been
blessed with, which allows you to choose what path to take and team to join. Mind you, your choice will not change what I’ve
willed for you, but it will determine the type of experiences you encounter traveling
toward your destiny. Either way, by your will or mine, I will be right there
with you as I’ve always been. I write to
you in this, your 30th year of life, to give you this special
birthday gift, though you might see it as more of a puzzle than a blessing.
You are not who you think yourself to be. Know Thyself!
You, my faithful servant, at heart are a Raider. Go West and discover those treasures awaiting
you. Pledge to choose a path based on
your soulful needs over financial desires, trusting that I am always with
you. What might at first seem unwise and
foolish to agents and those who’ve profited by blessed talents bestowed on you,
will be revealed as the link to your fulfillment as a man in touch with his
destiny. The gleam of life, which you’ll surely
discover in this new journey, will eventually become evident to those who might’ve
doubted, including yourself.
Again, be mindful and watchful of distracting forces. This time, choose not only with the hungry head,
but practice using the other decision-making instrument of which I’ve blessed
you with; a humble heart. Do not be deceived, for a humble heart sees what a
hungry head is sometimes too full to discern.
Oakland, California needs you my servant, as much as you
need Oaktown. Seek not what you’ve found
in Chicago or Cincinnati. Go where you
can feel my Pacific waters calming the summer air around you at night. Go experience the California sunshine splashing down reminding you of my presence before, during and after the dark, threatening
storm. Awake to the winds of autumn blustering
in from sea, greeting you to a new day in My blessed bay. A place where past transgressions are forgiven and no stone be cast should new ones arise.
"Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep
searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened for
you.” In giving of yourself you will surely receive tenfold.
For I promise this and more to all those of faith. I Am always with you Cedric. And win, lose or tie, I Am a Raider!
