"YES"

Hurdled down a tight corridor of time and space.
It’s dark.
It’s cold. 
I can’t feel You on my face.

The air is so heavy.

Why are the colors so dim?
The sky looks grey.
The ocean – it once looked like Him.

Did I have a choice?

Did I pick this place?
Did I know that I was choosing to become a part of the human race?

Could I have seen a movie that inspired me to say, “Yes”?

Did I see my life review?
Did I pick every test?

Did You warn me of it; how hard this would be?

My spirit once could fly;
Now it’s in this body. 

Surely You prepared me.

There has to be a plan.
Why would I leave the presence of Love and come to a destitute land?

Ohhhhh, that little spark You lit; I remember the day!

Hurdled down that tight corridor;

No sunlight on my face.

You said it would grow and my light would shine bright.

You said this world would need it;

To be raised to higher heights.

I saw the entire scene!

I was behind the spiritual gate!

I heard Your voice say:

You must now walk by faith.

It’s dark.

It’s cold.

The sky looks grey.

Your eyes are new to this world,

It can’t handle UV rays.

The ocean, didn’t it once look like you?

The ocean is in your heart now,

to remind you when you flew.

Did I have a choice?

Did I pick this place?

Did I choose to become a part of the human race?

Yes my child you did. 

Yes you chose this place.
You volunteered to be a light so that they could see my face.

You knew it would be hard.

You knew that I was rejected.
You knew that walking in love with them doesn’t secure being accepted.

Despite all of that, you cried and said, “Yes”.

You told me you wanted to be like My Son;
The one you call Jesus.

I finally said O.K.; I’ll let you see your tests.

I’ll always be with you, even when you’re not your best.

I love you my child.

I’m also proud of you.
I'll see you once again,                                                                                        
When your journey there is through.

Thank you my Lord!
Thank you for my life!
Thank you for teaching my spirit how to take flight!

Thank you my Lord! 
Thank you for this day!
You have replaced my dark and cold days and have shown me the way!

I can let my light shine.
My heart is made brand new.
You have poured your spirit in it;
The ocean does look like You!

If you asked me again if I would come to this place?

My answer is YES,
I know I have His grace.
If they laugh and hurt me, will I still walk by faith?
My answer is YES,
I will show them His face.

Always remember…..God loves you and He loves the ones that hurt you too.

P.S.  It doesn’t matter how many times over the years I have asked.  It doesn’t matter how many times over the years the questions have changed.  Throughout my ENTIRE life the answers have always remained the same!

Oh Holy Place by CeCe Winans has been my song since the first time I heard it. It so beautifully describes what I have always tried to. I never could find words big enough for what I saw. Well, CeCe sings it. It's beautiful!
