On My Journey--A Celebration in Poetry

[Lonnell Johnson]

Hello. I am Lonnell Johnson. For those of you who do not know me, I was a member of the 2nd Way Corps. For me August has become a month of special celebrations. August 31 is our wedding anniversary, and this year marks the 36th year that Brenda and I have been married. August 11 also marks the 35th anniversary of my ordination to the Christian ministry. In celebration of my ordination, I have compiled a document containing a sampling of some of my poetry interlaced with some pictures of me and my family through the years. I trust you will enjoy this special compilation, as you join me “On My Journey,” as we celebrate God’s grace and favor over the past thirty-five years.The document is called On My Journey.I would like for all of you to have a copy of this document. Click here to view and/or download a copy to your own computer.You may also leave comments below or email me privately at [e-mail] bless you all on your own journey. Thank you for celebrating mine with me.Lonnell

Lonnell I did this at serval Way Corps ordinations.As of 35 years ago and yet today this still is about you.
Ordained Of God
For Years Lonnell Spent His Life Much Like You And Me
Believing Only In What He Could Hear Smell Taste Touch Or See
Then One Day A Man Of God Came Walking Through His Door
Opening His Eyes Of Understanding Teaching Him The Score
Teaching Him All Things Concerning Jesus Christ
The Power Of God His Gift Holy Spirit And It’s Exceeding Might
The Word Of God Became Lonnell’s Only Truth Source
He Put On The Mind Of Christ And His Life Changed Course
A Burning Desire To Help Others Built A Heart Full Of Dedication
To Bring Others Back To God Through The Word Of The Ministry Of Reconciliation
He Ministries To Believers Gets Lost Souls Born Again
And Helps Them With Their Walk
With Patience Gentleness Kindness Understanding Using Wisdom In His Walk And Talk
He Edifies Exhorts Comforts Always With Gods Love
As The Need Arises He Receives Revelation From Above
He Willingly Gives His Life His Strength His All In All His Everything
Fully Committed To The Word The Will Of God
Of God Lonnell Is Ordained
God Gave Some Apostles Some Prophets And Some Evangelists And Some Pastors And Teachers
For The Perfecting Of The Saints For The Work Of The Ministry For The Edifying Of The Body Of Christ
Today Be It Known That Lonnell Johnson Is Ordained Of God.

Lonnell--I just love it when you call me "Sweetness!" I read every word and was touched on many levels. Someday you must tell me of the couple from Cape Town and your trip to Africa--that really struck a cord with me. How did we get so old? Bo and I celebrate our 35th anniversary this August...The gifts and calling of God are without repentance, dear brother...our lives can certainly testify to that. Love to Brenda and the girls. Thanks for sending this to us. God is good.

I, too, am rejoicing with you, Lonnell. I wish this world had more good great men like you in it and and we would all be that much better off because of it. You are living a more than abundant life. Thanks for showing to many of us what is attainable. Congratulations to you!

How beautiful, Lonnell. I loved reading the prophecies -- it's wonderful that you have them collected here. I look forward to reading through the entire volume more carefully again, and I especially enjoyed the photos of you and your beautiful family and remembering many years ago seeing you and Brenda face-to-face. Congratulations on this month of celebration, and thank you for sharing it with us.
