While I was in Honduras I wrote a poem. I began writing it Thursday night and finished it Friday morning. This trip made me very aware of how bold I was being in a foreign country yet I was afraid to be this same way in my own country. God worked on me while I was in Honduras, though I’m still not where I need to be he definitely chiseled away some pieces of me and brought forth a new person. My prayer is that I will continue to be bold here in the states, my city and where ever the Lord takes me.

Here is my poem:

BOLD

How can we be so bold,

In a land that is far from home,

To tell the greatest story ever told,

So the lost no longer have to roam,

Yet in the land,

Where we have it so grand,

We shy away from the Bible,

Afraid that we will be liable,

Here’s the truth,

We should be more like Ruth,

Be faithful and true,

Help others be one of Jesus’ Crew,

And for you guys,

Go into the land like spies,

Slaying your giants like flies,

Cause there is no time for the devil’s lies,

How can we be so bold,

In a land that is far from home,

To tell the greatest story ever told,

So the lost no longer have to roam,

The challenge will be,

As family and friends we see,

To be bold,

To share the greatest story ever told,

Even in our land,

Where we have it so grand,

We need to take a stand,

And lend a helping hand,

Share Jesus’ story,

And give Him all the glory,

We have the freedom,

Let’s gain one more for the Kingdom,

How can we be so bold,

In a land that is far from home,

To tell the greatest story ever told,

So the lost no longer have to roam.
