Splendor at the Cove

cove2

I PACKED MY BAGS AND JOURNEYED  TO  A PLACE I DIDN’T KNOW

I SAID, “GOD WHY AM I GOING?’ HE ANSWERED, “CHILD YOU JUST GO.”

SO I FOLLOWED HIS LEADING EVEN THOUGH I FELT UNDONE

MUSTERED  UP MY COURAGE AND TOLD MYSELF THIS WILL BE FUN!

I SAID, “GOD I’VE  READ ALL THE BIOS , THESE WOMEN ARE YOUR BEST

YOU KNOW I’M JUST BEGINNING, I’M SURE I’LL BE STRESSED!”

HE REPLIED, “TRAVONNA, I’VE GATHERED EACH AND EVERY DAUGHTER

FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS, YOU’LL LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER AND

SHOUT TO THE WORLD THAT I EXIST.”

OH, WHAT A DELIGHTFUL TIME I HAD, THE FELLOWSHIP WITH NEW FRIENDS

LEARNING, LISTENING, REJOICING, NOT WANTING THE WEEK TO END.

GOD BROKE THE BARRIERS  OF MY FEARS, WHILE SATAN WATCHED AND HISSED

I SMILED AND SAID, “”THANK YOU LORD, WITH YOU I COULDN’T MISS.”

YES, WE ARE HIS CHILDREN, UNIQUE, EACH PACKAGED PERFECTLY FOR HIS GLORY

GOD ONLY ASK US TO SHARE THE BEAUTY OF HIS PRESENCE

AND THE MARVELOUS VICTORY OF  CHRIST’S STORY.

  1. I love your poem and I could actually understand what you were sharing. Yes, the CCC sisters are one of a kind. Everything you expressed in your poem was my heart as well. Graduated in 2012. A life changing experience! I am unable to attend the October 2014 conference as it conflicts with the womens’ Shine conference.
    I am sure, Travonna, you will be blessed as you are a blessing as well!
    Love,

    • Thank you Margie,
      I’m happy you enjoyed the poem “Splendor at the Cove”. It was a beautiful experience and I really did wrestle with my fear of being way over my head
      and I WAS; however, everyone was so wonderful it really didn’t make difference. Blessings, to you and your family. To God be the glory!
