Saint Janet
" even a child is known by his doings,
whether his work be pure,
and whether it be right.'' Proverbs 20:11
My name is Janet.
Fondly called ''Saint Janet"
I was such a godly child.
My mother said,
My first words after I was weaned
is HALLELUJAH !
I was so different
From my siblings
Very churchy and obedient
And she took notice of it.
I started school early.
It was actually at High School
That I had the salvation experience.
Then, I was 12 years old.
My bosom friend led me to Christ.
The memory of that
Crucial moment
Still lingers on...
I had an inner circle of friends;
Jane, Juliet and I.
On this memorable day,
We prayed together
In our cubicle
Just before midnight.
Suddenly, Jane,
The prayer anchor
Began to speak in an unknown tongue.
Surprised!
I could not continue..
I opened my mouth agape
In wild exasperation.
The prayer ended
And I beckoned on my friend
Wanting to know how and why.
How I coveted the gift then!
Jane was just too glad
To expound to me
The mystery of the Spirit of God.
Not too convinced,
I went to bed
Perplexed, Disturbed
And Restless.
Who is the Holy Spirit?
I need to know.
