The Little things...

Sometimes,
God will lead you to do something that
you don't want to do so you
can take a breath,
just a moment to hear
something that you wouldn't
hear otherwise and
appreciate the things you
haven't in a while.
I feel better about
everything now.
I can go to sleep content.

I hear some wise words of wisdom from a wise man today. He is one of the greatest people that I know and appreciate everything that he has ever done for me. If, by chance you ever read this Dr. Davis, thanks for today. I believe that everything that came out of his mouth today was from God and was something that I needed to hear, especially about what's going on in my life concerning college right now, and how God is gonna do something and is in the process of doing something in and with my life. He is wise, and that is all I have to say for now.

Just a Post

Well I just thought that I should say on here that I got into Reinhardt College. I am so excited that it hurts. I also got a $4000 per year award.

God is good, and I am happy.

Always remember, and never forget, to praise God in all things, weather they are good or bad. You also have to remember to thank HIM for the things he gives you- like the little things that you don't even know that you want, the things we all here in America tend to take advantage of- the freedom we have and the material comforts that surround us on a daily basis.

That is all for now.

A Poem from Last Year... enjoy and criticize at will.

"Hope"

The rain begins to fall;

the (storm) has just begun,

& the worst, i (fear)

still has yet to come.

The East contains the rising Son.

The Fear of old is gone,

More (Hope) is still to come.

The (Love) You give,

Amazing is the (Peace) You give in the midst of a storm:

My storm,

*just a note...

-I was having difficulties with what to write about for my literature class. we had to use the form of some poet (don't remember whom). I heard the song " I will praise you in this storm" by sonic flood (I think) and it inspired me. As I was typing it up, after using about a tree worth of paper, the font kept messing up and I could not fix it because it was being stubborn. This is exactly what I was feeling at that time. It was absolutley insane. I think that it was God doing with it what He wanted. If anyone wants to see the original copy... just ask.

God's Unfailing Love

dancing for the Lord is amazing,
especially if you have no clue as
to what you are going to do.
when you go into it blind and
trust God with every step that
you take and will take.

I fell and you caught me,
oh Lord, how great You are.
and you still took the time to
look down on me and catch me
when I was falling, and hoping
that I would be caught by

Your loving arms and
your unfailing love for me.
You have saved me many
times, but I have ignored you.
God, you still love me enough
to catch me when I am falling.

Read and tell me what you think.

The faith of a child.
The little one you see
weaping in the corner,
has a troubled mind
and a broken heart.
She longs to be a
princess in the midst
of this chaotic world.
She has heard and seen
too much for her
little mind to bear.
She sits in full
conversation with God
as He holds her tight in
his loving arms.

Words of Wisdom.

"Alone in the Rain"

alone in the rain,
i dance to the old music
slowly fading away.

Dancing in the rain is a great pasttime for me. I absolutley love how the rain falls in your face, and you can hear the raindrops falling like music in the background. Dancing in the rain is a "right of passage." It goes against mothers wise words of " Come in, out of the rain, before you get pnemonia!" There is also a peace that comes over the world when it is lightly raining. It gets quiet because everyone is afraid of getting sick.

Here is my philosophy in life. First of all you must trust God in all things, big or small. You must also live your life with some form of adventure and excitement. I am not saying to go jump off of a cliff, just do things because you want to- not because you are "supposed" to.

In my opinion, everyone should:
* laugh hysterically until you are rolling on the floor and not able to breathe.
* laugh at yourself.
* thrash to crazy music when you are upset or happy- this should be done with friends.
* give a dog a bath.
* danced in the rain with friends.
* take a trip with your friends to get away from life.
* take a bubble bath.
* run around and play in the woods.
* eat something odd.
* wear silly hats.
* sit on a roof.
* talk to your friends.
* just sit with someone and know that everything will be okay.
* HAVE FUN.
* play pirates in a canoe and rowboat.

An Introduction

I am not perfect be any means. I am well aware of this, and I am glad that I have a loving God that loves me regaurdless of what I do. I love to write, I just have the issue of thinking entirely too much for my own good, and whatever I was writing is blown to an epoch proportion and cannot be completed. I hope that you will bear with me on this. I am going to own a cottage on Tybee Island one day and I will sit all summer and write plays, books, and poetry. I also strive to be a journalist.
I also love to dream about things. If any of you come to know me, you will find that I wil dream both with and for you. I love to think of the things that God allows me to and I run with an inspiration. I am one that if you give me even a hint of HOPE, I will turn it into a dream in less time than it takes to say 1,2,3. God has blessed me with a creative mind, and I hope to achieve great things, so I can give Him, God Almighty, the praise for it.
