I Must Embrace the Entirity of My Existence

I MUST EMBRACE THE ENTIRETY OF MY EXISTENCE I must quietly acknowledge my tenacity and strength, deny the words and actions of narcissistic controlling forces, and individuals who have tried to muffle, my thoughts, worship ... and hopes. I am a twig that bends with the wind and refuses to be broken. A seedling that could not be crushed through adversity … but will sprout. I will rise, fall and rise again. I will innovate, invent, create, paintings and ...poems. Despite aging, social and racial inequities, I will muster the courage for difficult pathways, all the while challenging situations, not of my own … making. I will confront the improbable and the impossible, with gusto and with great expectations. Offering to Infuse the wisdom of scriptural truth in the minds of all meek and truth-seeking individuals. Regardless of race, social, or … economic background. I will lend my voice to present the clarity of God’s love, wisdom, justice, power, and his purposes for us, and his will for our earth. A restored Paradise, through the reign of his anointed son, and King … Jesus Christ. I desire to do this with love and empathy, as I attempt to gently pierce through the clutter of unscriptural doctrines. I know this will require my love of mankind, my courage, patience, and tenacity. but always, always the essential force of … God’s Holy Spirit and his blessings!
