My Child, Claim It

“Who can teach me what is most pleasing to God so that I can do it?”
– Saint Kateri Tekakwitha

(For some reason, the past two weeks The Lord has been speaking to me in poem and in song. I am not a poet, nor a song writer…But His words were so strong and so I decided to share with you what He has been whispering to me.)

God’s plan is perfect
All words
All thoughts
Literally
All things
Are a part of it.
Everything.

Every encounter
Every action
Every syllable
Is a clue,
A glue
To the craft
To the Masterpiece
He is taking you

I am telling you this
Sharing this with you
Because I have witnessed
A revelation to His Almighty Greatness

12 years ago
I was introduced to a lady
That little did I know
Would influence
And play a role in the essence
Of my life

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha
The advocate of nature
The lover of the environment, ecology, and trees.
I love trees!
And this is simply what God is calling me to be
To love the trees
The trees that have grounded their roots
The roots
That are rooted in this land
His Land

Who would have known
That 12 years later
The Lord would ask me to serve
Her People
Mohawk alike
His People
God’s children alike
The people of this land

So, as I stood there in awe
Speechless
Fearless
Filled with The Spirit
I couldn’t deny the overwhelming Presence
Of her
Invisible spirit
That at that very moment
Became visible
In all who carry her
Embody her
And all who glorify Him through her

His Holy Presence
Her presence
My presence
Their presence
An affirmation
Of all the clues
Of all the times
Of all the moments
That now became the glue
And allowed me to see where I am
And where I am meant to be

Isaiah chapter 9 verse 3
The Lord revealed to me
” You have enlarged the nation
and increased their joy;
they rejoice before you”
The Lord has definitely enlarged the nation
The nation that He has called us
To hold
To mold
To claim
And to sustain
His land.
Their land.

Thank you Lord!
You continue to
Bless me and
To test me
And I
Will continue
To stay true to the mission
That you have bestowed upon me

Make me your instrument.

Use me.

Amen 🙂
