Poem
When I was born, I could have ended up an orphan, or worse I could have been aborted, but instead I was wanted, adopted by two wonderful parents. I could have been deformed and not doing well at all but because of all the great doctors, treatments and advice during my young life, I managed to turn out alright. Though I still have many physical, mental issues to deal with, God has turned all my issues into stepping stones... into something more. His favor upon my life is akin to high waters bowling me over with all their might. Where I and others may see lack, I know that my Lord God has got my back, for He fills me with His joy - a joy that has no words to describe, and that which is unspeakable is on my inside. One of my doctors said "you are diagnosed with depression, but you look so happy?" I told her I was blessed with the joy of the Lord despite what things might look like. Not every day is easy for me either, but the more I tap into the Source which has never left me before I left my Heavenly Father's Kingdom, and it has never left me since I was born upon this earth... I must never forget to be brave, because I had volunteered to help the One and only Creator of all that is, and all that we see and don't see as of yet... So if things on paper don't share what God says then I must take it on faith that I will do what I was sent down here to do, and that my Lord will help me follow through - to remind people that not everything is as it seems, and that our Lord can use what appears to be weak to set the world on fire and be used as quenching waters that devour thirsty shores.
