My motto is: if I can help someone then my living will not be in vain. Information in this book is about what happened in my life as well as others, how they can overcome many hurdles. I pray information in this book will reach the minds, hearts, and souls of individuals, even when life seems hard just hold on, when your way gets hard hold on, keep the faith, help is on the way. When seems like the outlook is dim remember we are not alone always keep a positive outlook because Jesus is our forefront.

AGENDA

Arose to the morning sun, thanked Christ for another run.

Arose with a word of prayer, asks Christ for mercy everywhere.

Turned greeted family members, addressing letters to different senders.

Put my war clothes on, was ready if things went wrong.

Watched for backbiting and stealing, focus on love, forgiveness, and healing.

Took one step at a time, watched how situations fell in line.

Never to over plan your agenda and it becomes a total hindrance.

A blessed agenda I must say because Christ was on board today.

ANGEL

Angels from on high, please don’t pass me by.

Sorry I feel some days, when missing love ones anyway.

Heavenly angels from on high, can you hear my lonely cry.

Tears in my heart, shown on the face, but must continue with a slow pace.

Never a true hand shake, excuses people always make.

Spiritual angels from on high, strengthen me as I try.

Invested in doing my best, God does not want anything less.

God angels from on high, always have a spiritual eye.

From South, North, East, and West he blesses his child when doing their best.

A CHANGE WILL COME

Should I fall to the bottom or stand still and holler?

Should I pray, fast, or wait; or should I seek to hate?

Cannot go complain to a friend, they want to know how long and when.

Our necks tight to a rope, as if there is no hope.

Hard task must be completed, if we pray and not be deleted.

Never let go of God’s hand because a change is coming at his demand.

Change is coming and will be over, so rejoice as if you found a Four-leaf clover.

Faith is our guide and when Jesus come; will be our ride.

A GOOD CHILD

A good child will go bad when losing love one they had.

A good child cannot go any further when pressured by others.

When put down and constantly nagged, the child will turn bad.

Did not get the glory but complaints, so they stood tall and said I ain’t.

When dismissing good trying to impress; went deeper and made a mess.

However, you put me down for the last time but will never whine.

Can we help a good child to stay focus, and not become a shell locust?

AM NOT

Am no big thing but I am growing.

One who is establishing, accomplishing, and sowing.

Not one who can do everything, but can do some things.

I can get over the hump, when not pushed to the front.

Not one to be noticed or praised, if it happens I will be amazed.

Not one to put on a show then move out and lay low.

Not one to never offer a hand or help one in quick sand.

Not one to misuse my friends, but will help to the end.

Never wanted a lot of pity but will talk about the new city.

Not one to say I am done but must run until this race is won.

BALLGAME

The team is waiting to play when a voice yells delay.

A broken bridge awaits ahead and please do not be misled.

Strike one there is trouble, strike two it is double.

Strike three total hardship as situations begin to flip.

Couldn’t seem to climb back, when the team goes off track.

Team needs to start the game and do it in Jesus name.

Game is introduced to all, any can join or fall.

A mission
