Poem
“But by the grace of God I am what I am…” 1Corinthians 15:10 of the King James Bible Let me tell you a story… It is neither fiction nor fantasy since the main character is yours truly… Anchored upon scriptural theology my narrative highlights the Creator’s glory against pride of carnal hypocrisy… This is the chronicle of ministerial journey commencing from momentous encounter at Calvary when Jesus Christ set me free graciously against sin’s grievous penalty by His love and mercy… I was a freshman in our country’s premier university and the Lord intervened, setting me toward what’s heavenly though struggling, my spirit heeded to His call obediently toward divine trek of precious, priceless legacy: Gospel-sharing and teaching children Bible stories joyously… With God’s compass directing along wondrous serenity my spiritual adventure progressed meaningfully as biblical stewardship reigned over my humanistic philosophy--- thus, enabled to choose what matters most vis-a-vis immortality I left my prestigious college teaching job for full-time ministry trusting the Saviour as my Master Who knows best for me… Midst mission trips, reaching-out travels and volunteer tasks’ array participating in kingdom-advancement, empowered through prayer-fervency I am nurtured, nourished for life-building and care-giving simultaneously allowing me to bloom in discipleship pursuits by His wisdom’s sufficiency as an orphanage Mom, a learning center Ma’am, serving gladly a values coach to police lady officers, giving counsel to live righteously a writer of church newsletter, publishing goodness of the Almighty… Now, I am still continuing with my journey, blest bountifully sailing with the Captain of the sea safely overcoming, by His compassion, doubt and uncertainty soaring along faith’s flight majestically vanquishing fear, misery and anxiety hiking atop supplication-retreat mountains steadfastly walking with my best Friend around intimate fellowship sweetly ready for jubilant face-to-face triumphant worship throughout eternity. April 23, 2022 1st place, "Form N - Narrative - New Poems; Theme: Journey" Poetry Writing Contest; Sponsored by Constance La France; judged on 4/27/2022.
