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??? :)

Courage in the Altar

It takes courage to walk to the altar (a lot of the time). Especially when you are struggling and going through trials. Most of us feel embarrassed or have too much pride to cry in the altar, shout, or dance in the Spirit. It really does amaze me.. It's like we are intimidated by other women/men.. Have you ever noticed it? Courage: " have the courage of one's convictions, to  act   in accordance with one's beliefs, especially in spite of criticism." (dictionary.com) I've heard plenty of people say, "The day so&so shouts and runs the aisles is when I'll do it." I REALLY don't get it! Do these people not have the revelation of worship, praise, and not to care what others are going to think about them?? Sometimes, worship is a life or death situation. :/ Seriously. You won't give God 100% of your praise... You're holding back.. You won't let loose. The saints of God get victory through prayer and worship.
