The most significant victory of my life
and the year was giving my life to Jesus Christ.
I’ve learned a lot on my journey and still have
more ground to cover; it’s unbelievable the giant leap
I took. Obedience has been my biggest obstacle,
and my faith required additional work, I’m so
excited about what’s ahead. My sole desire is
to serve; I had to deny myself and pick up
my cross to follow Him.

I’ve wasted an impressive amount
of my adult life WORRYING unnecessarily
about I don’t know what exactly; I can’t
regain those lost moments of fake assumptions.

The biggest regret of my life was getting
an abortion; I don’t think anything else
can top that feeling of defeat, had I known what
I know now, I would have never, ever
entertained that messed idea of relief. I have
since confessed my sin and sought forgiveness.

Once upon a time, validation from men
ran the show called “my life” every action
and reaction was a byproduct
of their likes and dislikes, satisfying their every
desire outweighed my self-worth, I was on
life-support and didn’t know I was dying.

I won’t look down on anyone
or laugh when I see somebody panhandling
to survive; anybody could get chosen
in the blink of an eye, regardless of age,
gender, income level, or shade of color
to experience a real taste of reality;
homelessness does not discriminate.

I write about life lessons (good or bad experiences),
stories I’ve read in the newspaper or heard
on the news; I intend to help others find hope
through my transparency, my version
of the truth served as-is.

The goodness in life far outweighs
the terrible things happening
around the world; it’s a blessing
to breathe without considering the cost.

My wish for you is to know Jesus Christ
for yourself, not based on everyone else’s
impression, it’s fashionable and all
but develop your own opinion.

Some people will happily vote “for you” when you can
bring in excellent results; you’re now a comedian,
unleashing the funniest jokes, new best friends;
a fresh addition to the family until the favors run out.

I look to God for everything
now more than ever; I’m more aware
of how precious life is, from a personal
standpoint, I cannot afford to die in my sins.

God is not enough; that is the reality
of our belief and our unbelief when we run
to the world for answers to every question,
He is usually our last resort,
but God is more than enough, there’s no need
to look around lost, we are in the right place.
