EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE (F)

This is another sharing in His Inspirations 'Expressions of Love' series.
I found this news-article on line and felt, indeed, this young woman’s achievement needed to be noted. When a single, discouraged mother of five was prompted by her pastor to return to school, she did so, by Faith. And with determination that was supported by the Love and efforts of her family…she achieved her dream of becoming a lawyer. Copy and paste the link below for more details.

Poem Artwork

 Could have been…

she never reached…to touch awesome

Could have been…

she blamed others…and then some

Could have been…

in her darkest hour

when…she wanted to give up

That the message to her from God

was rejected with a...scoff

But instead, she grabbed a-hold

and…pressed! for a seemingly... 

impossible prize

And now…she stands tall

with Magna Cum Laude!

and…her five!

 

Is 52:2, Ps 30:5

Sometimes we have to believe in more than God. We must believe in ourselves to achieve our best.

There are many like her. Real unsung heroes. Needing a typist before I had computers, I hired a young lady out of business school doing freelance typing. She had two baby boys and a ne'er-do-well husband to care for, so she took her typing service seriously and made a good living at it. But, she wanted more, and put herself through law school. For many years now she has been a family lawyer with her own firm.



There was another woman who worked with me on a database I developed for her where we worked. She had three sets of twins and another ne'er-do-well husband. Rode the bus to work and was even hit one day by a car with a serious concussion that took a long time to recover from. Still, she worked herself through a bachelors degree. And, with her kids grown, quit the supervisor job she had in customer service, traveled the country on a bus pass for a long time until she found the ideal place to settle. She is single again, free from her kids, and an executive assistant in an important position.

All it takes is belief in yourself and belief in the one who gave you the breath and the stamina. Well delivered dear poetess, thank you for sharing. May your day be blessed with inspiration and love. xo

With strength and determination (and certainly help from above) we can work wonders, as this determined woman did. Bravo.
