Today I wish to HONOR my sister, Lenette. It wasn't difficult at all to know for what, she possess COURAGE like no one else I've known. Yep, that's right, COURAGE... she has the uncanny ability to stare opposition in the face, do whatever is necessary and when the dust settles, you best believe, she is still standing.
There were a few things that I could've shared about her; but, when it all balls down to it, this is what I see in every situation. She is "warrior" strong; like Daniel going into the Lion's Den because he chose to still pray to his God, like Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego going into the fiery furnace because they refused to bow down. She can even be likened unto Joshua leading the Children of Israel, after Moses death, into the Promised Land, my sister is a pioneer.
She is intelligent and fearless. Whatever she wants, whatever she desires, she goes for it! It reminds me as a Christian that the Lord requires us to be and do the same. We should be able to look adversary in the eye, stand with an iron-clad resolve that come hail or high waters, we will not be moved... I'm going to stand, no matter how hard the winds may blow or how long the storm clouds roll; I trust… I am steadfast and unmovable!
It takes confidence in oneself to do the things she's done. She was the first of our clan to pick up all her belongings, along with her children and move to an unknown land. It's funny because half of us are here where she first decided to move. She's an explorer, a warrior, confident and sure; she's a fearless fighter and whether she is fighting spiritually or naturally, it doesn't really matter... what matters is that she believes she can. Whether, she wins or shrinks back in defeat (rare); she is wise enough to be able to fight another day and that is what is required in life. Intelligence, courage, fearless determination, strength, confidence, and wisdom... now, add CHRIST and WOW!!! You now have a David on your hands, the kind of warrior that kills lions, bears and Goliaths; not just his thousands as Saul did; rather, his (or her) tens of thousands. How many enemies have she slain in her lifetime; only God knows, but I’m sure it ranks “HIGH” up there!
I love my sister, I REALLY DO... she's shown me a lot through the years without ever realizing it. When facing a difficult situation or when the storms of life come beating at the door, as they sometimes do, I stand and though I have the Word of God as reference to KNOW that the Lord will see me through, I also have Lenette, warrior princess, who smiles in the face of enemy, draws her sword, with her own armor of choice (David refused to wear Saul’s), takes her stance and fearlessly goes to war. She is such a sight to see... I pause only briefly as I am reminded of one of my favorite movies at the moment, Secretariat; I hear the scripture being stated at intro of the movie. God is speaking to Job (Job was complaining) as HE says to him: “Do YOU make the horse that runs fearlessly out to war... etc”?
God made my sister Lenette, just as HE did that astounding thoroughbred, and HE put in her a quick mind, precise hands, and fearless heart, as well as, stamina and endurance... she possesses the strength and courage of a winner.
That's who and what she is. J. Lenette Poole ~ pioneer, warrior princess and winner!!! I have my own action figure live in front of me and I LOVE ME SOME... HER!
This is dedicated to the one I love... & LIKE and today's recipient, hands down, is: J. LENETTE POOLE and I am blessed and honored to say that she belongs to me... she is my big sis!
