The following was written during the time of my discernment. Life offers us opportunities to make tough decisions. Glad I deliberated prayerfully, before moving.
This should express some of the labors involved in the process of discernment.
Down the count, down the time
Descending, unstoppable, sublime
Music dies, words lose rhymes
Imbalanced heart, heavily swinging
Confused, it beats; with uncertainty reeling
Happy, or sad, jubilant or mad, deeply questioning
Destiny, plans, order, or fate
Timely, apropos, or maybe late
Time-manager, who fixed that date?
Obedience beckons at its subject
Surrender emanates from the object
Will it over, lord it master – You’re direct
Belief, faith, and hope; life’s virtues
Accordingly, subjectively, my heart’s dues!
Author of two self published books: "What's on Your Mind? - Diary of an Esteemed Woman" and "Moving Out Of The Crowd", both of which can be found on Amazon.com in both Paperback and Kindle versions.
Personally, I strive to be like an eagle soaring above the smallness of the life I once knew. I believe that hard work and determination always produces greatness. Lately, I seek to live by Colossians 1:16, since truthfully this life is not about me at all, but the purpose for which God Himself created me. "Everything starts in Him and finds itself in Him"
As a Youth Development Professional for more than 20 years, my expertise in the field has allowed me to impact many a life throughout that time. This impact goes beyond the young; since, over time various duties of my job demanded that I worked with adults, working professionals in Leadership Development, Conflict Management, Team Dynamics and the likes.
Music is very much part of my journey, so I have also been a Praise and Worship Minister, and a Youth Choir Director for more than eight years, a traditional drummer of the (Tabou Bele), and have written a number of gospel songs over the years. During my tenure as Youth Choir Director, we produced a Gospel Musical Album, which I think in today's standards could have been much better. Who knows, maybe better will come by soon enough. My desire is to build self first, and then others, for I believe no one can give that which he or she lacks.
My love for the sociological aspect of life has earned me a BA in Sociology with a minor concentration in Psychology at the Midwestern State University Texas.
