A Praise for Two Years!
by Patrique Harris, Youth Ministry Director
I can’t believe it has already been two years since I landed at the Kansas City International Airport to start my journey in full-time youth ministry at Mission Adelante! I have been so blessed to be on a top-tier team that has welcomed every bit of my spunk and supported me in loving people – specifically youth – from all places. When I reflect on what God has done these last two years, I have to give Him praise! So here’s a poem I wrote to express my praise!
I often forget the low times
I planned my path, but found little peace
Directionless, uneasy, struggling to trust God’s time
I weep
And then one day in the stillness it is revealed
Have faith and walk close to me
But how, when, where and why, I delay
So in the emptiness I remained
Then to my surprise he makes a way
I take a risk, I get on a plane
A land I have never been
A path I never thought I’d trod
Yet with open arms they welcomed my new blood
It is divine when your natural gifts shine
My only judge, a God that reigns on high
Fulfillment I found in being me
Encouraged by everyone I see
So two years later as I assess
I find myself in awe of life’s trek
Up and down, round and round
But in God’s company I feel found
I praise Him for pulse, purpose and provision
The miracle of being
The loftiness of mission
The abundance of love
For these, I thank you God!
