This is who I am

But who I will become

is much greater

Just want to bask in the abundance of His favor

Nine minutes into the this journey of 21 yearism

I’ve decided to look back on accomplishments

Compare myself to what I could have been

Thank God for that grace that He covered me in

And then press on toward the higher calling

Consider myself chosen

Could be experiencing baby mamma syndrome

With a two or three year old crying

as I attempt to track down a daddy that aint home

Could be wallowing in my sorrow

Depending on substances to take me higher

Yet I require

To ride praise to new dimensions

And rest in the innate desire to worship

Could be depending on mommy for hand outs

Shacking up with so-and-so

Focusing my entire self on trying to fit in

while wanting to stand out

Could be confused about my sexuality

Accepting false identity

Could have no sense of self worth

And allow another to dictate what my net worth

I could be…

But I declare and decree that I am not

Bless God because I very well could have given in

And if this life is all I have

I’ll continue to give it my best shot

I am educated and career orientated

Childless (not trying to diss /

I do accept the abundance of that gift/

but there is a time and place for it)

Yet apart of a village

Playing my role as an example to eyes of innocence

Self sufficient, trusting fully in His omniscience

Faith walking word talking

On my way to knowing Him better

Finding the real me that’s only in Him

Excited just know Him

Giving glory back because I am called and chosen

Welcoming this New chapter to an awesome journey

Anticipating the plans God has for me

Happy Birthday Self J
