What Is

Fresh out of college, the opportunities were there. The choice was made to remain with a caring ministry. Two years later, doors began to close, but new ones were there to open. Which way from Chicago? He could have remained in Chicago, but the winds of challenge and change were blowing in directions North, South, and East. After considerable prayer, he went South. Four years later, California came knocking. He will never know how different his life would have been had he chosen differently, but he has always gone steadily forward, never looking back or down with regret. He played the cards that were dealt to him and refused to be a victim regardless of outcomes. He has rejoiced in seeing the blossoms from seeds planted from Chicago to Wisconsin, from Mississippi to California. God has been good everywhere he has been and faithful wherever he has journeyed. God has enabled him to navigate all the waters through which Ihe has sailed. Next to the reality of God, great people have been the one sustaining ingredient to flavor and fragrance his life. The 'What is' of his life has been too great to concern himself with the 'what if?'. 062024PS
