Where I am From

Each year changes us …. so a while back I wrote one of these poems about how I grew up to where I was then. At that link you will find another link to where I got this idea from Shelly. So this below is How 2011 changed me, so that the who I am now is created by where I am from.

I am from a little church blooming and growing is size, a blessed bunch God has bought in.

I am from scared knees knocking to stand up and sing, so I stood on Him and joined the team, worship is more than Sunday Morning it’s a life.

I am from joining the Youth team on Sunday evenings and helping in details, watching daughter grow as a youth song leader.

I am from a broken cage, like a bird I flew, away from fear to find joy was always near.

I am from would you like to serve on council, crying cause why would anyone pick me, but God said He did and I believed Him and now I speak for many.

I am from a critical heart poured out like oil, submitting and finding the grace is all over, seeing the beauty and wonder of it all, now I keep track of blessings.

I am from a smile of encouragement when I doubt, only a turn of my head and my husband is right there drumming for the heart of God.

I am from “ we all need to be honored “ God loves us enough to trade His Son for the flocks we each live with, so that’s why we submit one to another, and give honor where honor is due.
