I'm Not Far Away-POEM

Honestly, I apologize for neglecting my blog :( It happens once in awhile lol.


So back to business :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Awhile back ago, I was writing a lot of poems.
Pretty much anything from fantasy to reality.
I always loved writing and putting rhymes that make you think or that almost lead you to tears...
Like the spiritual ones that have a lot of meaning to me.
Really... I love it <3

---Here is one---

I'm Not Far Away

Daughter,

You've received the Holy Ghost
And have been baptized in My name.
Yet I have noticed, you are falling away.

You can't make up your mind
About who to serve.
Baby girl, it's Me or the world.

If you let Satan take over...
You're old enough to know
That the place he rules is the bottomless pit below.

However, My daughter,
If you choose Me
You'll be saved from what is unknown
And help Me rule in Heaven
Where there are treasures untold.

Daughter, please make up your mind today.
You know I'm coming.
I'm not far away.

-Your Father, God

This one has so much meaning to me. I had everything bottled up and I let it out on paper (and prayer). My family member.. I'll call this person "Jane" ..can't make up her mind on who to please. It's always between Mom & Dad. The mom is a backslider and the dad faithfully goes to church. Jane wants to please both of them by being in the world with her mom and wearing skirts with her dad... I'm sad that she can't just make up her mind and serve and please God. We always talk to her about it. Almost every time I am with her, it comes up. Is she going to love God more than anyone else??

I'm getting emotional as I write.. I love her so much and I don't want to see her lost... I have faith that through prayer, God will make a way. It's not His will that anyone should perish. So I know that she will be saved.. I cry thinking about it but I know God is doing a work behind the scenes. He always does.


That's why this poem has so much meaning to me.

If you are reading this, I love you Jane

Bible Quizzer

Umm.... I had no idea what I was getting myself into lol! This is my first year of Bible Quizzing and man! I love it!!!!! :D I can't wait to go to the competitions!! :D We have to learn over 400 verses but as Bro. Vick & Brendan said "Don't look at the numbers." It's easier when you don't look at numbers and you just memorize and go over them everyday!!! I'm so excited!!! It has motivated me to get done with schoolwork lol. I hope we have a good (NOOO, a GREAT!) team so we can go to more competitions. :) Fun & traveling! Which teams do you know that are awesome Bible Quizzers?? Do you have any tips for a first time BQ??? :)

Coincidence? I think not.

There came a time in my life where I needed to get out from being under the spotlight...  To get away for awhile.  To be alone. To deal with things in my life. And now I'm here :) writing...  I  am currently attending North-West College to become a Pharmacy Technician.  (I also work here during the day) A fellow pharmacy student was talking to me before class... She poured her heart out to me. She was crying-tears rolling down her cheeks. She was hurting. She was contemplating taking drugs again. She was losing her faith in God. And there I was.. A child of God Filled with the Holy Ghost Having peace in my life  Knowing that God hears me We cried together. The people that surround us need to hear encouragement and love from God's people. They need the opportunity to walk into a church that preaches truth, that has life! They need to see God through you!  Don't be afraid to cry with them. God put you with them at that moment... God knew they needed you ...

A Special Touch From Heaven

For many many months, I wasn't feeling well. It was like I had something stuck inside of me that pushed everything about me (bubbly personality, a little ball of joy, Miss Sunshine, full of energy) into a little ball and filled the rest of the space with emptiness [cold]. It has definitely not been the best part of my life, for sure. It's one of those trials where you just want to go back to the year before lol. I'm telling you, I was the total opposite of who I really am. Oh my, talk about craziness. I started to get really sad, kept to myself a lot, and ZERO energy.. Ahhhh it was all bad!! If you think that I am wallowing around in this pile of mud (not wanting to get out), think again! I've been pushing myself harder to get back to my old self. I've been getting into the Word, praying, keeping in contact with friends/etc. For 3 weeks (up until a week ago), I slept almost ALL day. Not kidding. I told you, NO ENERGY. I didn't want to do anything. No piano, no...
