A poem I wrote 6 years ago for the Hopewriters instagram writing challenge.
Speak to me lord for I am listening
My heart is an OPEN book and you are the author
I want my life to be your story
Because only your words are life giving water
Use me lord to write your words
I want to be OPEN
To share what I’ve learned
Because only you can save this broken and hurting world

⭐️ you know you have reached a new level of spiritual maturity when the enemy is coming in like a flood and you choose to thank God for the warfare that you are facing because you know that your blessing is right around the corner
It has been one thing after another the past couple of days and this morning was my breakthrough. Normally when things aren’t going my way, I will lose my patience and become frustrated. But I didn’t want anything steal the joy and peace that I have been experiencing this month. So when I was having some computer issues this morning, I took a pause and said out loud “Lord, I thank you for this spiritual warfare that I’ve been experiencing these last couple days because it lets me know that I am on the right track and my blessing is right around the corner.”
After saying that declaration out loud, my situation didn’t change but something shifted in my spirit. Instead of looking at my struggles as a block, it shifted my perspective to the one who can change the situation.
15 years ago I wrote a poem as part of a contest for K-LOVE. I created a video to read and posted it on YouTube! 😁
You ask me “Why Jesus?”
So here is my story
To thank him for what he’s done for me
And give him all the glory
I came before the Lord, broken & ashamed
My sins had made me dirty & left a crimson stain
But God in his infinite love already had a plan
To send his son to die on the cross
And save the souls of man
He welcomed me with open arms
And cleansed me, white as snow
His spirit is now within me
Wherever I may go
I found his promises are true
And his love will never cease
He is our counselor, mighty God
Everlasting Father & Prince of Peace
Amen!! I have been waiting since 2012 for a specific promise from God to come to pass. But, God!! In his grace, mercy and goodness knows when the time is right and he has already been giving me glimpses of the fulfillment! The waiting has been long, but God is never late and if he had given it to me before he knew I was ready, I would have blown it.
Don’t give up if you’re still waiting on a promise from God. Because once he finally reveals why you had to wait so long, it makes sense and it makes the waiting so much easier! 😭🙌
I’ve been a Christian for since my teens and I’ve had so many ups and downs during my walk with Christ. But the only thing that remains true is that no matter how many times I have messed up, walked away or wanted to give up, God never did. It’s taken me a long time to realize that once I decide to surrender to God and his will for my life, everything seems to work out better than I could have hoped or imagined!
