I AM....Lost and Found

November 2, 2015

Lost and Found

One day I woke up and to my surprise,

many teardrops ran from my eyes.

Like the tears I cried on my baptism date,

this life changing event opened up the flood gates.

For this day started with a request,

one that made me second guest.

Like opening God's word for the first time,

slightly afraid of what I might find.

This request came with a message,

A message that answered all my questions.

"I'm on a search for my sister"

That's when I started to get the picture.

Like being shown all Jesus went though,

all because He loved you.

It was then I realized, I had been found,

by my brother, who had been searching for me like a blood hound.

Like finding out God was always there,

waiting for me to become aware.

That He was working in my life,

hoping one day I would do what's right.

That He had already chosen me,

but I had to seek to find Him to be set free.

Then on September 30 2007,

I got my little piece of heaven.

As I sat in the warm waters of the baptistery,

all I could hear was God saying "you found me, you found me."

Like finding the missing parts of my family tree,

I had found exactly where I needed to be.

For I was once lost now finally found,

and now my soul is heaven bound.

Like my brother finding me on Facebook,

all I had to do was open up and take a look.

These stories though different share a common ground

Both about a teenaged girl who was lost and found.
