LIFE

Life is so mesmerizing at times
Sometimes what you expect is not what is
Then at times its totally cool
One thing we can be sure of is that all things work together for good in our lives

We wake up each morning wondering what this day is going to be like
We who know best pray at the beginning of the day
Those who don't just rush in thinking whatever will be will be
Our God cares for us all in His creation

He lets the rain fall on every house
He lets the sun shine on everyone
He loves each and every soul the same
However we have free will to decide the direction of our lives

It doesn't have to be hard for anyone to live this life
Some may be wondering how they got here and why are they here
Others may be saying they just don't want to be here
Know this for a fact, God placed you here and His plans for you are good

So seek Him out, search for Him
Talk to someone who already knows Him
Find out how you can be God's friend and child
Then you will learn that your life has value and worth

God loves us all so much
He just longs for each and everyone of us to accept Him
He desires for all of us to know how much He loves us and cares
He wants you to know He sent His Son to give us life in abundance

Stay In School

He was fifteen years old
On his own living his life
Gave up parental guidance
Gave up his fellowship with God

He was a wondering sheep
A ship without someone at the rudder
Heading for destruction on the high seas
He thought he would be just fine

Then the inevitable happened
He got in a fight and drew a weapon
He left his opponent on the ground
He escaped to his home miles away

Not knowing what to do he consulted his friends
Everyone told him he should go back
He obeyed, went back and was arrested on the spot
Spent months in a maximum facility for minors

His arresting officer told him to plea guilty and the judge would send him home
Being naïve as he was he once again obeyed
The judge saw a nervous and scared young boy before her
She asked the mother if she wanted him home

Mother said yes and judge told her he is on bail and should be in school A.S.A.P.
He was registered in school and next time he went before Her Honor he was put on probation
He was grateful for the second chance and graduated from school amidst much adversity
If he can do it, so can you. Stay in School no matter what.
