The Prayer Fulfilled

In the end the prayers were answered

and my life has not been the same

(although we know that was the plan

in the first place).



You see the prayers went up for me long

before I began to seek my independence.

And the journey was long and arduous and

informative and painful and joyous.



It has been the perfect mirror of life

as the creator intended...a microcosm.



I've been around the world in more than

the 80 days of P. Fog.



I've seen the Northern Lights and the

six month nights.



I've seen the heather on the glenn and

heard the piper's lament.



I've watched the setting Sun on an island

paradise and seen the ocean's force.



I've been to the land of Queens and future

kings and witnessed their favor in the people.



I've seen where the Colosus once stood and

the beauty of God's hand in the Mediteranean.



I've walked where MY forefathers walked

before our nation was a nation.



I've seen the Pyramids and the valley of the

kings where the Sphinx stands guard.



I've lived in the land of the Rising Sun

and the in the home of Hwarang Warriors.



I've been to the land down under and where

the fjords are vast and beautiful.



I've spoken in the language of the Romans and

lounged in the Palma sand with Mallorcan pearls.



I've seen that purple mountain majesty and

amber waves of grain from sea to shining sea.



I've marveled at the diversity of man

all over the world and am better for it.



I stand at the threshold of where my destiny

will truly be borne out (and prophetically so).





Therefore, ALL that I have SEEN and DONE and AM

is purposed to bring us all closer to the creator.



For we exist because of the sacrifice of One and

the prayers of many before us. Each of us traveling

a road he has ordained for us and we are assigned

our destiny to his purpose.



Honor that sacrifice by finding that purpose.



SEE those prayers fulfilled.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Sometimes we run from a destiny because we want to consider ourselves "our own". But it is important to realize that we all have a purpose and our existance is not random or trifling.  Know that there are those who have asked you to be blessed that you find your purpose in life.  Seek it out if you don't know it.  And if you know it, honor it.
