From the "Life: chapter of my book of poems: Iv'e come to realize (416 hits)

I’ve come to realize that no matter what life brings change

The universe brings forth change

What comes out of your mouth brings these things to you

I have come to realize that sometimes we all have to make sacrifices

For the greater good in the long run

If you don’t play by the rules then there are consequences

It’s how you bounce back that defines how you are

We all have a purpose for being here

The creator doesn’t make any mistakes

Everything happens for a reason, every few months a new season

People come and go in and out of your life

Some temporary and long term

I believe there can be a blessing from every encounter and experience

Sometimes relationships are cut short

Things don’t always work out

But try to remember this…

Some people come into your life as stepping-stones

Not to be stepped on but to help you get to your point

Of greatness

I believe that life is a blessing

Family and friends are priceless

You are never too old to learn and grow

I’ve come to realize many things in my lifetime

But one thing I know for sure

God is love

It’s important to find someone who loves you as God loves the church

God is so great and wonderful and magnificent

Even in my darkest hour and weakest moment

When I’m on the other side of it looking back on how he brought me through

I wonder to myself

Why did I ever doubt him in the first place?

Just as Job a faithful follower questioned God

When his life was seemingly in shambles

Our father asked him,” Where were you when I laid the constellations”

He brought Moses to the Promised Land and parted the red sea

Created the earth and all creation in 7 days

He sent his son to die for our sins so we can have eternal life

While he was here he tuned water to wine, fed a multitude and healed the sick

Took the sting out of death and got up regenerated anew

Why would I ever doubt God?

Why would you?

Because even though all of those previous lines were stories from the bible

I know what he’s done in my own life

He’s never let me down yet

No matter how bad a day I’m having, I’m still here

I’m still fabulous and in one piece and loved

I have been called many names in my lifetime but there’s one that matters to me the most

Being called a child of GOD

This faith-based foundation is what I hold on to

To make it through life’s obstacles

And it’s the same thing that I give to you…..
