Security Checks Poem by Rita Umali

Making choices in our lives are sometimes an ordeal
Its like the security checks we have in the airport
Need to scrutinize every detail and touch points
The only difference is the result
The latter gives you a definite answer
Whereas the first one gives you the start of another journey
Or another stage or chapter in one’s life.
It doesn’t assure you that you got the right formula to succeed
The process continues in our lives from one choice to another
Hoping that we will not just survive the intricacies of human existence
But as well as have a LIFE.

But one definite and sure answer that erases ambiguity
Is that we have Christ to anchor to
To Lean on to and rest
With a prayer in our hearts and a hope
That whatever choice we make
We are able to align with His WILL, with His HEART
And be assured that no matter
What trials we face and hardships we undergo
We will have JOY always
