Everything you have is because #GOD DID IT!

Everything we have is because God did it.
What happens when we forget Who brought us from meagerness to greatness?
This poem is a reminder of this truth, which God spoke to me through a rushing wind as I stood on a hill overlooking Homewood from a building our production studio now calls home. In that moment, I knew that He was trusting us to never withhold giving Him glory for what He was doing in our lives.
We have been able to overcome lack and stagnancy only because God did it.
It is through divine connections that we are in this studio space. The years of being stripped of everything we owned, enduring heartache through miscarriages and hurtful jabs from people we loved and trusted had culminated into this moment. And I was completely full!
All I heard Him say was simply, “Don’t forget Me!”
Can God trust you in the territory you are wanting Him to bring you into?
Will you be able to to tell everyone that God Did It?

Who…moved…my…cheese?
A mouse, caught in a trap
Public classrooms / brought dooms
Your sista didn’t see that on a map!
Now, it served for a time
But poured out too many limits
Admins slapping my hand, saying,
“Mrs. Tripp, betta quit it!”
That daily grind?
Honey, I surely don’t miss it!
Educator, underpaid
And these kids don’t get whippings?!
Brand new theatre, no respect for the craft
Directing shows, teens calling each other hoes
As colleagues I respect
Just stand back and laugh?
I looked up to God in year 7, and said,
“Lord, is this job complete?”
See, it served for a time
But poured pain into me!
So when things didn’t change
After four years plus four more
God spoke, loud and clear,
From Luke 5 and verse 4
“Launch into the deep…”
And tears raced down my face,
For I knew, in my soul
It was time for a change!
So, I stepped out on faith,
Though scared, yet upbeat!
Where I am is because
All my fears He defeats!
And as I look around, from this hill to those streets,
I holler,
On all social media feeds!
