Sin, Salvation and Losing an Arm

Sinning is like chopping off your arm.

How? I'm glad you asked...

Sinning is like chopping off your arm because it CAN and WILL kill you, if left untreated...

BUT

When a Broken Heart is a Memory

I wrote this poem on February 2, 2011.

When a Broken Heart is a Memory

Back in October
I thought life was over
For he had me fooled
And broke my heart

Then as time went on
I felt love so strong
It could only come
From my Father above

Define Beauty...

I wrote this February 22, 2010. I was in 9th grade.

Define Beauty...

What is it? A feeling? A way of being? A look? A glance? 

A word?

Can someone be a beauty? Does it define someone?

Love: The Road Less Taken

This is poem I wrote on September 12, 2007. I was in 7th grade.

Love: The Road Less Taken

Some choose the byways
Some choose the highways
But I choose the road less taken

Some drive far
In their big, speedy car
But I drive slow
On the road less taken

Highways are dangerous
Byways are daring
But the road less taken is neither

Understanding Isn't Important

God speaks to people in different ways

If I were honest, I would say that lately I have been skimping on my "Jesus time". There are plenty of excuses I could give and reasons why, but the bottom line is: none of that matters, only my relationship with God does. As a result, I have been super cranky and moody (ask my boyfriend and my family). This always happens when I skip my Jesus time. Always.

How To Be A Good (future) Wife:

Let me start off by saying...I am not married.

I am in a very committed relationship, but...no...I'm not perfect at that either. No one is. I will be the first to admit that it is hard to think of the general "how-to's" of being a Proverbs 31 woman while in the middle of a heated debate about something important (or "important").  In that moment, you aren't worried about respect and honor, you're worried about getting your point across and selfishly ensuring that your side is heard over the other.
