Full

God is awesome! He's filled me with His love:

He is holy; He's reigning up above.

He came and brought to me new life:

He healed my heart, cast out all strife.

He died for me, that I might live!

He wants me now to freely give

Of what I have, of who I am,

Of everything He's blessed me with.

He knows my thoughts, knows who I am:

He comforts me, and helps me live.

He loves His child: He always will;

I was defiled, but now I'm whole.

He touched me with His healing hand:

Not just my body, He healed my soul.

He's with me right now; in my soul, in my heart:

He's promised me He'll ne'er from me part.

I LOVE GOD!!! He's my help; He's my strength:

How long is He faithful? I can't say the length!

I love Him more dearly than I'd ever thought possible.

He's awesome and great, unbeat and unstoppable.

And so I shall say: Tomorrow, today:

"My Jesus, He reigns! I shall never doubt again."

Empty

I shiver, yet I feel no cold.

I sweat, but feel no heat.

I bleed, yet I feel no pain.

I am numb; without sense or feeling.

I feel nothing, do nothing.

I have no purpose, no meaning.

Where are You?

I am empty; a lifeless, useless shell of a person who was once full of life, love, and happiness.

I can't go on without You.

Just tell me where You are.

I'll Get You Back/I'll Forgive You

Hey! Why'd you go and do that to me?
Hey! What did I do to deserve this?
You're driving me mad.
If I had one wish...

I'd get you back for the things you did to me
I'd make you feel all the pain inside of me
I'd get you back for the things you put me through
I'd get you back for the love I thought I knew
I'd get you baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!

Hey! Whad has happened to us?
Hey! What went horribly wrong?
I thought we were in love.
I guess I was wrong...

I'll get you back for the things you did to me
I'll make you feel all the pain inside of me
I'll get you back for the things you put me through
I'll get you back for the love I thought I knew
I'll get you baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!

Hey! Why'd you dump me like that?
Hey! I thought we were for real.
Please come and explain
why you tore out my heart
I loved you for real
and I gave you my heart

I'll get you back for the things you did to me
I'll make you feel all the pain inside of me
I'll get you back for the things you put me through
I'll get you back for the love I thought I knew
I'll get you baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!

But I know if I don't forgive you, bitterness and hatred will consume me.

So even though you don't deserve it...

I'll forgive you for the things you did to me.

I'll forgive you for the pain inside of me.

I'll forgive you for the pain you put me through.

I'll forgive you for the love I thought I knew.

I'll forgive you.

Beautiful Clouds :)

As I step out onto my front porch, I look out to the west and see a mostly clear blue sky, with a few puffy white clouds of the purest white. Then I turn to the northwest, and I see the most beautiful thing.

A giant storm is rolling in, with dark gray clouds. The fury and power of this storm is obvious; yet due west, the sun has just begun to disappear behind the clouds, and is spewing rays of brilliant light on the smaller clouds to the east.

The dark clouds, with their power, might, and fury, are framed in a striking white light. The view is simply breathtaking.

The lower clouds are floating swiftly north, while the higher storm clouds are moving slowly, but steadily, towards the southeast.

I look to the southeast, and I see beautiful clear blue sky with a few stray clouds, puffy and white. It's so bright and cheerful and beautiful. But as I look back towards the west, I see a small opening in the dark blanket of clouds. Sunlight pours through this opening, shedding light on a hill on the horizon.

The dark clouds are coming closer, and the wind is getting stronger. I am now chilled to the bone, and certain my ears and face must be bright red, but I can't pull away. It's just so beautiful!

The dark clouds with their silver lining, the clear blue sky to the southeast, it's all so magical. It makes me feel so small and insignificant, lost, a tiny piece of this wonderful masterpiece.

But I remember that the Creator of this beautiful work of art made me too, and put special thought and care into how he made me. He sees every sparrow fall, and He sees everything I do. The God that made this huge storm, with all its fury, also gave His one and only Son to die on the cross for me. And that is the true beauty.

As I look around me, I am just amazed at how powerful and mighty God really is. I take a few pictures, attempting to capture the beauty and awe of this sight on film. Thank you, God, for the blessing of such a beautiful place to live. :)

Untitled Prose ~ 9-2-09

The sun shone brightly in the rich green meadow. The morning dewdrops lingered on each lovely blade of grass. The emerald haven stretched on for miles; as far as the eye could see. There were beautiful patches of wild flowers, in all the colors of the rainbow. Each flower was a work of art; the marvels of God's creation. Each had its own distinct shape, it's own rare beauty. And in the very middle of this enchantingly gorgeous place, the most beautiful thing of all. The first thing I noticed was the smile. Genuine elation showed on that perfect porcelain face. Eyes closed; face turned heavenward, joy evident in every fiber of His face. I was rendered speechless as He knelt down and gingerly caressed a small Sunflower, whispering in a still, small voice, more calming and reassuring than any I'd ever heard. He smiled, then slowly stood and turned to me. I now realized that I'd slowly been walking towards Him. There was just something about Him that drew me towards Him. I couldn't stop. I met His eyes. At that moment, I knew the truth. It was written all over His face. Neither of us had to say anything. As He studied me, it was as though He was peering into my soul. Reading the writing on the walls of my heart. In a way it hurt, to know that someone else now knew every thought, every desire, every secret, every sin that I'd hidden from the world. But then I began to feel a sense of freedom that I'd never known before. With each second, though He spake no words, His eyes spoke volumes. I now was beginning to realize what I'd been. What I'd done. Who I'd hurt. It nearly broke my heart. It would have, had he not been there reassuring me. I don't know how long we stood there, our eyes locked in that unblinking bond. It could've been days, it could've been seconds. Finally, He was the one to break the spellbinding silence. "It is done," He said. I now noticed that tears had been trickling down my face in streams, but at the same moment I realized that they were not tears of pain or sadness, but tears of relief, thankfulness, and pure joy. I also then realized that I'd begun to smile. I smiled like I hadn't in years. In fact, I doubt I'd ever smiled like that ever. It felt so amazing. He smiled with me. Then He began to instruct me. He spoke as I've never heard a man speak; but then, He was no ordinary man. He spoke of things past, of things to come. He told me of great sorrow, but that it would be accompanied by everlasting joy. And then it happened. I knew it would, sooner or later, but all the same, it almost tore me apart. He looked me in the eye, and I knew. He had to go. How I wished He could stay with me, but that wouldn't be fair. He made a promsie though. "I will always be with you," he said, "In spirit. Think of me, and remember me. I will send my spirit to comfort you, and give you hope and peace." He made such beautiful promises. "One day, I will come for you. I will take you to live in my Father's house, in mansions of glory. Remember me, and hearken unto my words, my daughter, and it will be well with thee." With that, I was sucked away; away from the green grass, the beautiful flowers; away from Him. Now I'm trying my hardest to follow Him, to make Him proud. I will always remember that one perfect morning that I spent with a man named Jesus. I will hold on to His promises until the day he comes to fulfill them.

Still Untitled Poem ~ 1-19-2008

The LORD my shepherd is; He's my Guardian, Guide and Stay

He's the light of my life; He's the strength of my song;

He's the one and only path, my chosen way.

The LORD my savior is; He's the light, the truth, the way

He's my comfort by day, he's my song in the night

He's the one and only path, my chosen way.

Jesus Christ, who died for me when there was no other way

is the light of my life, he's the joy of my heart

He's the one and only path my chosen way

God the Father, God the Son; Holy Spirit, Three in One!

He will never forsake 'til in Heav'n I awake

He will keep me safe until my race is run.

Mighty God, my counselor All the things You've given me!

A roof o'er my head, and a warm, comfy bed

You have given me the greatest family.

Parents who resemble You; teach me what You've said to do

Love siblings and cousins and uncles and aunts

There is no way I deserve this much from you

Oh, I can't wait for that day when in Heaven I shall stand!

There I'll see Jesus' glory, that shines bright as day.

And I'll sing and shout His praise throughout the land!
