My Journey to Victory

One step at a time brought me closer to my vision.

Once I could see the finish line, I began running toward it.

I had to jump hurdles of doubt, fatigue, and self-defeat.

But in my heart, I knew God had planned my course.

So, when the struggles of life began to chase me, I ran faster and didn't look back.

The struggle was real. Things tried to trip me up and cause me to break my stride, but I kept my eyes on the prize.

My blessing was my victory. It was the force that kept me going. It pushed me when I wanted to stop.

It even carried me when I had no strength to press on.

It kept nudging me so I wouldn't fall asleep and lose sight of the finish line. It opened my eyes so I could see that,

"Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world."

But when I finally reached the finish line—wounded, weary, and worn—the Holy Ghost, my Paraclete, the One who walks beside me, embraced me and whispered,

"Gail, you did it... you finished."

Then I remembered:

"Write the vision and make it plain, that he who reads it may run."

So, with great pleasure, I present to you My PoeTree with Love—

A collection of inspirational poems from my heart that will encourage you, redirect your steps toward victory, strengthen your walk, and most of all, fill your heart with love and joy as you continue your own journey.

May these words remind you that every obstacle can become an opportunity, every struggle can produce strength, and every step taken in faith brings you closer to the victory God has already prepared for you.

With Love & Prayer,

Gail D. Engram
