    Staring..

    July 12, 2005

    Tweet Sometimes I look in the mirrorAnd the girl staring back at meIs not the one I want to seeI see all the mistakesAll the broken promisesCommitments made and then forgotten I see a life marred by sinA girl who wants so hard to follow ChristBut gets so easily entangled in the worldAnd then wonders what went wrongDetermination that is deterred by othersStrength that is weakened in moments of indecision And then I slowly crawl back into the arms of GodPouring out my tears and fears and moments of regretKnowing this is where I should have been all alongInstead of trying so hard on my ownAnd for one moment I…

    An attempt to be poetic

    The Dance

    January 28, 2004

    Tweet The Dance Alone on a stage I stand Desperatly trying to fill another’s shoes Wearing costumes and masks, trying to hide And fit into their ideas of “cool” As I perform a dance that is not my own I try to keep up with the music, But it changes all too fast Their cheers turn to jeers and I get lost all to quickly and stumble over my clumsy feet Trying to dance a dance that is not my own One in the audience watches Longing for me to finish, longing for me to take off the mask He sits through all my performances He knows the music is…

    A poem

    December 18, 2003

    Tweet A poem.. The time has come The time is now To seize the day To stand for One Come boy, Come girl Come man and woman See the baby born this day Share the news Shout round the world Jesus Christ is born today He comes for all to save Eternal life to give, Free for all who choose to take Join the chorus ringing out “Peace to all” this Christmas A greater hope must be found For rags and dust are all the world can give Riches and glory will be found In that eternal dwelling place Search for the babe Find His love, and rest in His…

    TO BRITTANY

    November 16, 2003

    Tweet TO BRITTANY My dear friend, and my ever-listening ear, All the times you’ve been there, and all the times you’ve cared Never have I thought twice about having you for a friend and never have I wished for someone better Laughs and tears shared over the years 7th 8th 9th 10th and now 11th Year after year and month after month, for you I will always be thankful Don’t let life get you down, there’s always someone hurting worse and always I will stand by your side My homework I should be doing, but cheering you up is far more rewarding “You’ve got a friend in me..” No matter…

    Take a minute to ponder this..

    October 21, 2003

    Tweet I got this poem on my e-mail, and it struck me hard. It’s kinda long, but I thought I would share it with all of you as a plee to you if you aren’t saved, talk to someone about it, and if you are, to go out and witness. I had on new clothes, New sneakers on my feet. I was there for class on time, Went to the back and took my seat. Yeah, I’m moving up, I’m already grown. Soon I’ll be graduating, And out on my own. I talked to some of my friends, We were all having fun. Said some things I shouldn’t have said.…
