We all have a race to run, we all have a finish line we must cross, the question is how will you finish? Will you finish strong? Or will you limp across the line barely making it, if you make it at all; My hope for all those who are reading this is that we all will join faith with the Apostle Paul who said- “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” (2TIM 4:7-8) Run strong Saints; know in your heart of hearts that the victory is yours… I dedicate this poem to the sent man of GOD over my life Apostle Waller, This is…

My Race

By Edward Taylor III

“ON YOUR MARKS… ”

“GET SET…”

BANG!

I’m gaining success, losing failure,

I hear my adversaries losing breath sounding like Darth Vader wheezing,

MY EYE’S,

Wide open, I can see my finish line,

My past failures I left behind;

With every stride I glide, my feet strike the ground with the rhythm of a

Tick, tock…,

Tick…,

I’m gaining success, losing failure,

My vision becomes clearer, my way I find, I tell myself,

“Just stay in your lane Edward”;

Word I breathe,

Promises of God,

My hope I cleave,

Victory is claimed with every meter gained,

I’m in the last turn,

“Okay, lean into the turn,”

“Hit your drive faze”

“SPRINT”!!!

The finish line is getting closer!

My purpose is getting closer!

My vision is getting closer!

“LEAN”!

I cross the finish line in record time,

“YES”;

I’ve gained my success- in my marriage,

I’ve gained my success- in my home,

I’ve gained my success- in my ministry,

I’ve gained my success- in my finances;

I stand on the platform of champions;

I ran my race & finished my course;

I won this race called life.

GLORY!!!
