Patricia's Poem

I don't mean poem in the sense of the word that we learned in elementary.  I believe poems are so much deeper than that meaning.  We are all walking poems...and GOD is the writer.  HE is the great POET.  Watch the flowers grow and the trees sway in the wind and tell me it does not look poetic at times.  Look at our lives.  We seem to walk in and out of verses straight out of a novel.  We can't believe the things that happen to us.  Some so unbelievably bad and other times wonderfully (is that a word) great.  Our lives are words that GOD has penned for us a looooong time ago.  And all of GOD's poems are good.  They are better than good.  They are better than great.  They are too big to be contained on a stage or a FACEBOOK page.  They are individually wrapped for us.  So, this is what I mean by poem.  You are an imaculate, beautiful, strong, crafted piece of work.  You are GOD's poem.

And on this day, Patricia, I was sent to tell you this.  I am so sorry that I missed your message.  I am late, but with GOD I am right on time.  Today is the day that you are suppossed to be getting this.  I would be a bold face liar if I sat up here and told you that I do not understand what you are going through.  Yes, my situation is different, but the loss feeling of hope is the same.  And currently...our blood pressure is the same.  Mine is not as high, but it was high enough to land me in a hospital a few weeks back.  What I found out was that we cannot lose hope.  Somedays that is all we got to hold onto and when we lose that, we start thinking crazy like suicide. 

The funny thing is that we can never really lose hope.  It is kinda like our keys.  We set them down somewhere and just forgot where we set them down.  But if we think about it...HOPE is right where we left it.  Not on the kitchen counter, not in the bedroom, not on the floor behind the sink in the bathroom upstairs...but in our hearts.  Hope is right there...just look.  It is right beside all the other things our Lord and Saviour gave us.  Don't you see it.  Hope is next to Courage.  Behind Strength.  Over to the right from Love.  Kitty Corner from Joy.  In GOD's poem HE has given all of these things and more...we just have to look right where we left it.


I prayed for you this morning and I will continue to pray.  And you keep me posted through however you feel like...FACEBOOK wall, email or even a phone call, if need be.  But, please make sure you keep me posted on your status.  I want to hear from you often.  And if I don't get back to you right away, don't take it as a meaning that I am not praying for you.  I am little slow sometimes.  But, GOD is not through with me yet...and HE dang sure ain't through with you.  So, don't go trying to finish something GOD has started behind HIS back.  You have work to do.  It seems like the task is in incredible now, but HE gave you all the tools to do the job.  Just look in your heart.  Yay.

Stay encourged and blessed.  

But as for me and my house, we will serve teh LORD.

Keep it natural.
