LESSONS TAKEN FROM……TYRONE 101 ---by Tammy M. Walton In the realm of human experiences, one thing that seems to make us feel powerless is death. It seems so final...so many of us are afraid to die we fail to live. When we don't live because of fear of dying, we die without ever having lived...when we were born; each of us was birthed for a purpose. How long you are here? I cannot tell you because each of our life's journeys is unique...customized, MADE ESPICALLY FOR YOU. Throughout our journey, we are confronted with challenges. And this is where my notes from Tyrone 101 begin... Oh Tyrone would shout & praise God for His goodness at any given time. He didn't "Wait till the Battle was over". Tyrone always had a reason to given Him the Praise. You see Tyrone had "A Testimony". In his ministry, he emphasized, "Jesus is the Answer" because "Though It AH", "God always stood by his side". Never be ashamed of being of God, my teacher stressed to each listening ear. Tyrone was constantly "Running for Jesus" and even when he looked tired, if asked, his response was "I'm Not Tired Yet". He would say, " You see child.. .I've got power. You know that wondrous working power in the blood of the Lamb. You too can achieve this. "Just ask in Thy Name" and "Hold onto His Hand...Never let go of His Hand".. .even when people say you can't make it. "Just for Me"...my God supplied my needs." And it was through His divine instruction that Tyrone's earthly projects were complete and it was then time for Tyrone to move on. And it was time Tyrone to go "On a Long, Long Journey"... "Trouble Don't Last Always", take your eyes off the storm for you will see an uncloudy day. Remember, "God Never Fails". Even when you feel like you've "Gone the Last Mile of the Way". You see.. .in the midst of your troubles and through all your tears, God's going to wipe all of your tears away. God will speak to your heart but you have to "Say Yes Lord Yes" to His will and His way to enable that "Overflow" of blessings. Don't worry.. .Tyrone "Has Already Been to the Water". I can imagine Tyrone giving warm words of comfort and encouragement... "Now that I'm Free, It Will Be Alright. Those left behind who remain sadden, "Just have a Little Talk with Jesus" you see "I Know what Prayer can Do." He's the "Same God" as yesterday, today and days to come. "My God can Do Anything". He's "So Good that I just Can't Tell it All." God just planted my feet on a higher ground and "I Won't Complain" because my soul has been "Anchored in the Lord" and "Joy Cometh in the Morning". ^ "To Be Like Jesus"... This was his story and these were the songs... Now Tyrone is praising Our Savior All the Day Long.
