What can I say?
You've stolen my heart.
I had this realization
sometime near the start.
When you fell,
I fell for you.
Of this realization,
you have no clue.
Our progression may be slow,
but I know that God has plans.
I try to follow His path,
but sometimes give in to my heart's demands.
When I hear your voice,
I go weak in the knees.
I can't form clear sentences,
or even say please.
When I see you smile,
it's like the fourth of July.
To others I'm outgoing,
but around you I'm much too shy.
My sentences become clipped,
my tongue becomes tied.
These feelings inside of me?
No longer can be denied.
Mmm.
Senioritis... what?
Senioritis... what?
At the beginning of the year I had senioritis. I pined for college, camp, and friends in general. After a few weeks of drawn out school days of wishing the time away and late nights mentally decorating my dorm room, I came to a realization. Something that I thought was so normal was getting in the way of me following God. Not only was I wish away precious time that I could be spending in the word, but I was wishing away time that I could be spending talking to the kids at my school about Jesus. I've heard from many speakers that they look back on high school and wish they would have reached out more to those around them. While praying for my classes this year, I had felt God calling me to get out of my comfort zone, and while at first it was... uncomfortable not being in choir with the people I had grown to call my friends, it was alright. I've grown to love it. To love who God is shaping me to be. I know that everyone expects you to have senioritis, but once I started actually pursuing opportunities God gives me throughout the day to talk about Jesus, church, or anything God related or even to just show kids God's love. It's been amazing seeing what God is doing in my school this semester. Instead of saying "Oh man, I have another semester left in this dump?" I think "Yes, God has given me another semester to love on those around me" and that is what I intend to do. So while many seniors will be wishing their time away, I will be eagerly awaiting the start of each day and what God has instore for it. Praise the Lord.
Heaven
Heaven
When I close my eyes I can almost see it
in all it's unabashed glory
those pearly gates, those golden streets
no worries, darkness we did defeat
just awstruck wonder at your beauty.

Letters from a sinner
Letters from a sinner
When I know I've let you down
all the lies I've told are falling all around
these stick webs of falsities catching me
telling me what I've become
to your words I am numb
I've blocked out your voice
with the world's overbearing noise
of your words not taking heed
instead all the sins I've over seen
these are letters from a sinner
with the knowledge that in life, I'll never be a winner
without your aid.
Lord, I'm afraid.

The Game of a Lifetime
The Game of a Lifetime
A whisper in the wind
a flashback of all the times I've sinned
letting you down
on your head is the crown
that reminds me of your glory.
You're totally and completely holy.
Oh how I love thee.
I truly want to make you happy.
To make you smile at me,
to wash over me completely.
To show me that life is more than a board game.
More than someone screaming my name.
calling out the plays,
people pulling me every which way.
Help me Lord, I plee.
you come to me, so willingly.
My heart you own.
And somehow, I know that I am not alone.

Sometimes I wonder if it was all in my head
all those things felt and said
Those memories that I hold so close
are just memories to you at the most.

Is it a Crime?
Is it a Crime?
I don't want to settle for something less than crazy
less than days so filled with love that my vision is hazy
I don't want to have a life that's just fine
a marriage of just friendship
that's a marriage that's not mine
I want a whirlwind romance
it'll be like I'm in a love trance
I want to be struck silent each time I see his face
where all I can do is run into his embrace
is it a crime to hope for so much?
it's not something I'm going to rush
For this man I have so much affection
together our lives will point to God
the perfect direction
We'll be one unit, not two
our kind of love is a sort of taboo
I don't want to ever fall out of love
not if it's something that's sent from above
divorce is not even a choice
together we'll speak with one voice
before children a few years we'll spend
working together to become the perfect blend
so when children do come to be
when they look as their parents, Jesus is all they'll see
through our love they'll more easily understand that of our savior
our maker we'll reflect through all of our behavior
if this is not only mine, but God's desire
To want to find a man that I'm completely, and incandescently in love with?

A) I am not unhappy. This is just a poem, and while it's true -- I just had a moment. Making that clear.

Haunted
I can't escape
Can't get away
you're everywhere
when I sleep, you're there
Holding me tight
whispering in my ear
all those sweet nothings
I desperately want to hear
where are you?
Where have you gone?
You've left a piece of you behind
Your image constantly bombards my mind
it's like Halloween
all those ghosts unseen
I think I see you
but when I look
you're not there
Were you ever here?
Was it just a dream?
All I know is that you haunt my heart
leaving a shadow I can't repress
Will you ever leave?
Do I want you to?
Sometimes I wish I'd never met you.
I'd be so much more normal.
But I'm haunted by your memory.
The sweet caress of what could have been.
A part of me knows I'd do it all the same
because with your shadow
I'd be completely

Letters from a Broken Soul.
Letters from a Broken Soul.
Broken I come to you.
In you I am renewed.
I fall to my knees.
Screaming, "God, take me."
Give me your eyes.
Help me see past the sin and the lies.
You smile and hug me close.
Telling me my sin you won't expose.
I need to air my dirty laundry.
Put it out so everyone can see.
I'm not anywhere near perfect.
Of sin, I'm a regular addict.
To you I pray.
All the pain to take away.
The anguish and the lies.
The things I've come to love, but should despise.
In the good times I forget.
Sin into my heart I let.
It's in the pain and the sorrow.
I know there will be a new tomorrow.
It's then that I turn towards you.
Deep down knowing the things you tell me are true.
The harvest is plentiful, the workers are few.
None of my sin I can undo.
I use it for your glory.
Take it Lord, work through me.
You tell me my sin is no more.
It's already been paid for.
I give you all I have, though it isn't much.
The tears on my face, you touch.
Through my weakness you are made strong.
In your kingdom I belong.
Not through any work of mine,
but through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Each day your promises come true.
In you I am made new.
In you I am renewed.
I fall to my knees.
Screaming, "God, take me."

The Norm {I'm A Minority}
The Norm {I'm A Minority}
I thought I was the norm
Then I was informed
I don't fit the status quo
I'm looked at as a weirdo
I save sex for marriage
I never show cleavage
I don't smoke cigars
Or dance at bars
I don't do drugs
Or hang out with thugs
I don't drink
I like to think
I'm doing the right thing
Or at least doing something
I've never been on a date
Until college I'll wait
To hold a boy's hand
For my faith I'll stand
I won't even share a kiss
I'm waiting for engagement for this
I don't fit into a Sorority
I'm A Minority.

Future
Future
Something God has really laid on my heart lately is worry -- specifically about the future. I find myself lapsing into obsessive day dreams about graduating, college, and what else God has in store for my life. While these things can be good at times, it's definitely not okay for me to be mulling over them with such fervor so that they take away valuable God-time. Instead of living in the moment, I'm living in future moments that haven't happened yet. I'm sure I've missed many God-given opportunites because of this! Not okay. So instead of living in the past or future, live in the present. Sure God has great plans for the future, but what's really important to focus on is what He has going on right now. Otherwise, you could miss something really important. So enjoy life! God knows His plans for our lives, and all we can do is trust Him.
Proverbs 12:25 --
An anxious heart weighs a man down,
but a kind word cheers him up.
Matthew 6:27 --
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Luke 21:34-35 --
Watch out! Don’t let your hearts be dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the worries of this life. Don’t let that day catch you unaware, like a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth.
1 Peter 5:7 --
Cast all your anxiety on Him, for He cares for you.
Jeremiah 29:11-13 --
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Who's your Hero?
Do they wear a skin tight suit
and stop thieves from stealing the loot
Do they have super powers
or able to turn time back a couple hours
Can they run, jump, and fly
and no matter what, they cannot die
Are they macho and strong
and know the difference between right and wrong
That's the type of hero in a movie
showing up on the screen of your tv
My hero's a little different
He'll be there during Judgement
On a cross He died
Someday He'll come back for his Bride
His powers are for healing
Not stopping someone from stealing
On the third day he rose
Satan he does oppose
Death he defied
Leaving God's Word as our guide

Society Obsessions (Part Two)
Society Obsessions (Part Two)
Sin is an obsession.
It's a pool that only deepens.
Society is attached.
It's love for sex, drugs, and alcohol is unmatched.

Into yourself you will fold.
You won't realize at first.
Oblivion is a curse.

Society & Me
Society & Me
I'm a rose in the midst of thorns
All of my beliefs the world scorns
Laughed at to my face
To society I'm a disgrace
I'm an outcast of the greatest kind
Their games & ways I've declined
Hardly anyone living their lives for Him
to the world, they give in
For an earthly life they live
Scorning the one who's life did give
Through Him they might have life to the fullest
Instead they look at me in disgust
not understanding why I don't give in
and live a life full of worldy sin
But I hold my head up and smile
I'll be leaving here in a while
So I'll stand up strong
With Christ, I belong
Torn down each and every day
Things just don't seem to go my way
But I'm as happy as can be
For in Christ I've been set free
No more slavery to sin
My battle, He did win.

Love.
Love.
True Love? I'm a believer.
I don't take lies from the ultimate deciever.
He tries to smash my every desire;
tries to persuade me to throw them into the fire.
No, even Lucifer can't stop a love like this.
Once it's found, there's no way to resist.
The ultimate sacrifice He made.
The price for my soul -- He paid.
He's the perfect lover.
Of my love story, He's the author.

Love & The Pursuit of Happiness
This quote is taken from the book When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric & Leslie Ludy on page 253.
"Our Love Hungry generation is desperately searching for the "beautiful side of love." But it is not found in either having sex or abstaining from sex. The "sweeter song" is Jesus, in all His fullness, all His love, all His beauty, all His grace, and all His majesty."

Sticks & Stones (Tough Stuff Series)
Her Peaceful oblivion
she tries to hide underneath her skin
she doesn't let anybody in
no friends will she win
she cries herself to sleep at night
just wants a boy to hold her tight
she doesn't know what is wrong or right
No one told her not to look into the light
She doesn't know she needs saving
doesn't understand why she's misbehaving
doesn't know the source of the love she's craving
into herself she is caving
She just wants to feel needed
wants her words to be heeded
her soul needs to be feeded
doesn't know about the blood that he bleeded
she tries to appear like she doesn't care
hides behind the veil of her hair
all the right clothes she tries to wear
she feels like life is so unfair
she doesn't feel anything but okay
she feels less wanted each and every day
she'd never ever think to pray
her whole life is in dissarray
sticks and stones may break her bones
and words will always hurt her
she doesn't know the love she lacks
because no one told her about her maker
on that fateful day that she drew her last breath
her own life she took, not knowing about her Savior.

Anor-what? (Tough Stuff Series)
So very skinny you want to be
so you don't eat very healthily
some lettuce & water is all you need
words of wisdom you don't heed
to look like a model in the magazine
you need to be a size negative eighteen
starvation is the only way
watching your own body start to decay
your bones you now can see
you only think of outer beauty
eating at a friends you do delay
than later on you throw it all away
hardly a bite to eat
your disorder harder & harder to defeat
others wish to be like you
they don't see your fingers turning blue
"you look good, my dear"
they don't see your inner fear
this deadly cycle you are in
all you consist of now is skin
you don't know how to get out
all you want to do is scream & shout
by the time you realized your mistake
your own life you did take
for all the beauty you thought to gain
you should have gone and used your brain.
Anorexia.

Mission:Abort (Tough Stuff Series)
Takes one to know one
the Beauty of life you shun
your background i don't know
every moment it continues to grow
soon enough you're going to show
every breakable you want to throw
How'd you get into this mess
every sin you must confess
your trust is being put to the test
you gotta give it a rest
all you wanted was some love
every doctor you want to shove
you've got your undies in a wad
he wouldn't touch you with a 10-foot rod
you'll live the concequences of this mistake
in premarital intercourse you did partake
marriage wasn't in the deal
you just wanted a way to heal
he went running the other way
to you, no attention he did pay
you wallow in your anguish & pain
crying through the sunshine and the rain
you look around for someone to blame
to your mind no answer came
you have a life changing choice
to give this little one a voice
life or death, that is your quest
a child's life you could put to rest
the life-size mistake you've made
your personal life they will invade
you're options:live or die
too many tears you will cry
murder is the word
so many stories left unheard
lives taken without a fight
never a chance to get it right
so many breaths never breathed
so many dreams never achieved
will your child add to the number?
Or will they eternally slumber?
will they get a chance at life?
or be left dead in their strife?
Murder has a new name
it had to be done, you will claim.
Abortion.
the Beauty of life you shun
your background i don't know
every moment it continues to grow
soon enough you're going to show
every breakable you want to throw
How'd you get into this mess
every sin you must confess
your trust is being put to the test
you gotta give it a rest
all you wanted was some love
every doctor you want to shove
you've got your undies in a wad
he wouldn't touch you with a 10-foot rod
you'll live the concequences of this mistake
in premarital intercourse you did partake
marriage wasn't in the deal
you just wanted a way to heal
he went running the other way
to you, no attention he did pay
you wallow in your anguish & pain
crying through the sunshine and the rain
you look around for someone to blame
to your mind no answer came
you have a life changing choice
to give this little one a voice
life or death, that is your quest
a child's life you could put to rest
the life-size mistake you've made
your personal life they will invade
you're options:live or die
too many tears you will cry
murder is the word
so many stories left unheard
lives taken without a fight
never a chance to get it right
so many breaths never breathed
so many dreams never achieved
will your child add to the number?
Or will they eternally slumber?
will they get a chance at life?
or be left dead in their strife?
Murder has a new name
it had to be done, you will claim.
Abortion.

God created Adam & Eve
never a thought about Adam & Steve
it's not how we're created
sinful lust unsatiated
no children can you make
so why the need to partake
you fill your heart with greed
more sin you feel you need
my words please do take heed
in the bible, wrong it was decreed
in certain states, legal it was made
heterosexual you should have stayed
to honor God in all we do
Away from Him you flew.

why do you want a piece of me?
Why don't you go mess with somebody who will show,
the anguish you cause.
I'm sick of your lies,
sad attempts to pry,
into my heart and my soul.
For i have a hope from above,
i've found a greater love,
in Him i find my strength to carry on.
Into Him i will pour,
all i'm looking for.
In him i find all i need and more.
He is the only way,
so tonight i pray,
for strength to push on through.
He shines a light so bright,
he illuminates the night,
the birds sing of his might and his grace.
His mercies anew,
shine right on through,
my every hope and dream he renews.
He is my sole need and desire.
He wants me when i feel unwanted.
He loves me when i don't feel love.
He picks me up when i fall.
He. Is. My. Savior. 1 Peter 5:8-9

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

The Maze of Life
The Maze of Life
We played a game in sunday school today where one girl would be blindfolded and the other would have to give them directions to get them through the maze.
Picture this: You're in the middle of a huge maze. I mean HUGE. Miles and miles across. You're completely alone. There's a catch:You can't see. At all. You've become blind. After hours of wandering aimlessly, you finally give up and sink to the ground. You start to cry. Then you start to pray, pleading for some guidance. You hear something. What is that? It's in your head. Is that.... directions? Sure enough! There's a voice, pure and true, giving you directions! You don't know where they lead you to, good or bad, but it's worth a shot! And better than just sitting there. You scramble to your feet. Did it say left or right first? It repeats the directions. 3 steps forward, sharp left, 7 steps forwards, take a right, etc. You start following the directions. After a few hours you get tired, sometimes you want to just go the way YOU choose. You stub your toe, run into a wall, or fall down, but the voice is always there whether you choose to listen to it or not. After what seems like a lifetime, you make it to the end of the maze. You sigh with relief. You did it! Or did you? Could you have done it on your own? There's no WAY you would have made it out of that maze all by yourself! Suddenly you can see again. You're not blind anymore! Hallelujiah! You're blinded by the glory of the one in front of you. Who is that? Why are they glowing so brightly?
He smiles at you and introduces himself as the voice inside your head. Jesus.
The maze is life. Life has endless twists and turns, we can't see far enough ahead to have any idea what's coming at us! If we don't follow God's plans and guidance: sure maybe we'll totter around a bit and maybe end up on the right path, but eventually you're going to stub your toe or run into a wall. Not so good, huh?
Mark 8:34-35 -- Then he (Jesus) called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.

Take Time to Smell the Roses!
Take Time to Smell the Roses!
So we were driving somewhere for my little sister's birthday dinner and i began to think. How much of our lives do we really live in the present? Half the time i know that i'm either remembering good times from the past or dreaming about the future. How much do i end up missing by wishing i could go back in time or fast forward? Sometimes i find myself wishing i could fast forward the 'boring' parts of life. But are any parts of life boring at all really? If we didn't have boring parts of our life then the exciting parts wouldn't be as exciting. Do we realize that what we wish to skip over could be the most impacting moment of our lives? Sometimes the boring parts of life are the best parts! If we're too busy dreaming or wishing then how can we fully realize all the opportunities we have? God's creation is awesome now , not just in the past or the future! So next time you catch yourself thinking about the past or the future, remember that right now is where God wants you, and that's a beautiful thing! Before you know it you'll be old and you'll wonder where all your time went. So take time to enjoy life and God's beautiful creation! :)

Complete Praise
Complete Praise
So as i was doing my devotions tonight and just hanging out with Jesus, I was thinking about church. As you stand up in church (at least we do) to worship our Savior, if you look around most of the people will be standing with their arms crossed or at their sides. Some 'rebels' will have their hands in the air. If we as Christians know that we were SAVED by the most incredible being in the entirety of things to come and everything there ever is shouldn't we give him more praise than just standing there? we should be jumping for joy shouting his praise at the tops of our lungs until our voices are hoarse! God is SO amazing that he gave us his ONLY SON. Can you imagine going through all the pain of raising your child just to know that one day you would let him DIE for all these people you didn't know? Would you be able to do it? I don't know about you, but im pretty sure when i have kids ill be able to better understand the love God has for us! I've been thinking a lot lately about things that we as Christians come to think are just normal. Jesus died for our sins and rose again on the 3rd day yada yada. I think that we get these things drilled into our brains SO MUCH that they lose their clarity. This is THE most amazing thing to ever happen and we just treat it nonchallantly because we are used to hearing about it. God is AMAZING and completely and totally UNIQUE in every way! There never has been and never will be anyone like him! We should be filled with AWE every morning and night because this PERFECT being loves US! We sin SO MUCH and God HATES sin, yet he gives us uncompromiseable love! That just boggles my mind! That GOD, totally completely PERFECT in every sense, could love ME when i sin SO MUCH? It's awe-inspiring!
When we have praise and worship time in church do you listen? No i mean REALLY listen? Read the words and think about them! We are singing awesome praises to him and a lot of people don't even stop to realize what we are saying! I've started taking a praise song, some i've known my whole life, that have become ritual to me and disecting it before i go to sleep. It helps me by thinking about the meaning either word by word or line by line. You'll find out a lot of these songs are actually really really cool! No matter how long you've been singing it, how old the song is, or how boring it might be, it's really all about GOD. Who cares if you don't like the song or it doesn't fit your range very well? Sing out and sing proudly! You're praising the most AMAZING being in the entire universe! Act excited! Throw your hands up in the air in completely admiration! God is AMAZING in everyway! Act amazed.
I don't know about you, but as i praise in church, sometimes a song will just hit me (not literally... more like i realize the true meaning) and i just feel compelled to put my hands up to fully give it all to God. He's awesome. Why not? Call me a Jesus Freak, I don't care, but He is my God and i will praise him completely and entirely just the way he was meant to be praised!:)

Too Soon
Too Soon
I was thinking today about how short life is. Everyday i wake up and take for granted every breath i take. At any time i could die from various things. Either a car accident, a school shooting, heart attack, or even choking! But yet we treat everyday like we deserve to live. Yesterday in choir i found out my partner for our showchoir ballad was going to shoot himself in the head and end his life. There were SO many opportunities that i had to witness and reach out to him, but i was always too tired or just didn't feel like it. Really? We as Christians are suppose to take every opportunity God gives us to reach out to those around us! We really have no idea what's going on in their lives. People tend to hide their inner anguish and frusteration, rather than letting it all out. So next time you see someone you don't normally talk to or just hangs with a different group of people, say hi and start a conversation. You never know how you could be helping them!
Shooting Star
Shooting Star
One night I saw a star
gleaming at me from afar
I watched it shining oh so bright
filling the night sky with its light
then suddenly I couldn't believe my eyes
the light flashed and seemed to rise
before it started its lengthy descent
making absolutely certain its intent
it flew by and we watched in awe
a sight so natural and raw
it zoomed to the ground below
what a brilliant, breath-taking show
I looked around and grinned in glee
praise the Lord that sight I did see!

Open Book
Open Book
I'm a open book
Whether or not you take a look
Is up to you to decide
It's been a while since someone's tried
I'm always up to answer your query
I promise I'm not scary
I've gone through trials
I've walked many miles
There's a lot people don't know
On the outside it doesn't show
Like the depth of my soul
If I ever feel whole
Emotion that consumes
My eyes can speak volumes
Inside I was a different person
Before I lived my life as a Christian
I wear a smile on my face
I've been saved by grace
On the outside I'm just a girl
On the inside, I could take on the world
My heart is on open book
with God's handwriting all over it.

Creativity: A Blessing or a Curse?
Creativity: A Blessing or a Curse?
Sometimes the creativity just wells up inside of me so much so that I think i might burst into a huge mass of rainbow creativity goo. It rolls over me like a tidal wave, threatening to devour my very being if I don't submit.
Creativity: A Blessing or a Curse?
When i feel like this inside
it cannot be denied
I sprint for a pen
Then write a word...
Or ten
It devours me from the inside out
in my mind there is no doubt
It cannot be contained
My composure cannot be sustained
I run, i jump, i fly
pen in hand -- i reach the sky
There's nothing you can do
it cannot be subdued
When I'm finished i smile and sigh
It won't be long before the next time.

Love
Love
Would you rather have loved and lost or have never loved at all?
Love, what a funny word.
Four letters -- all in a row.
The meaning behind that one small little word
it can mean the difference between happiness and devastation
worry and joy, gladness and grief.
"I love you" -- eight letters, three words.
Those three words hold power,
power only to be unleashed when the words are truly meant.
Not to be said if you don't mean it,
the other person said it first,
or you feel obligated.
Use them wisely.
The power they wield is unmatchable.
Life & Death.
Love & Loss.
The choices are endless.

I Love You
I Love You
A poem I wrote for my Grandfather Royce Luiken when I was 10
I held your hand, but couldn't keep you from dying.
I wanted to say goodbye, but the words wouldn't come out.
I wanted to say "i love you" but put it off and thought "i'll say it later,"
and then forgot all together.
I cried for hours and thought,
"Why me? Why now? When i need it so much?"
And then you were going. I cried uncontrollably for the next hour or two.
It was true. I missed you already.
I just wanted to you to know
I love you.

Will you take me away to see
everything that we could be
take me somewhere away so far
you can't get there by plan or car
where ever you are, that's where i'll stay
no matter what happens or what you say
i want to keep close everything i know
so where you are, i'll be also
there's this place called Paradise,
i've heard it can be kinda nice
somewhere no one else has heard
if you wanna go just say the word
sometimes life feels like a dream
so much so that i want to scream
everything goes rushing by
you don't have time to ask me why
lets go to a castle in the clouds
so far up off of the ground
all the people walking down below
if they could see us they'd wave hello
what a funny sight we'd be
if only those below could see
everything that we could be
take me somewhere away so far
you can't get there by plan or car

Constant Bombardment
Constant Bombardment
Lately Satan has taken advantage of my lack of defense and is constantly bombarding me with different things. "You're not good enough, pretty enough, you aren't beautiful enough for boys to like you, you're too goody goody, blah blah" and as much as I want to say that it doesn't effect me -- to an extent, it does! He takes these words and twists them into me like screws. So the more he works at it, the deeper they go. Everything I have a break through with God, Satan attacks me more and more. When I don't get much out of devos, or it's shorter because I'm too tired to concentrate, Satan doesn't hurt me as much. But even when I'm being ripped apart -- I find my strength in God. He is my solace. (Phillipians 4:13) So I haven't been the happiest girl lately. Lots of fetal position sitting in my room, thinking about stuff, and being upset while driving. No more taylor swift sing alongs in my car, just loud dance music that lets me drown out my thought for a few blissful moments.
Broken
Broken
I'm broken inside
the gap in my heart is wide
I don't know where to turn
You'd think by now I'd learn
I look to the cross
for words, I'm at a loss
You stand with open arms
say you'll banish all harms
I smile through my tears
You've been here all my years
No matter how much pain
You're the one who keeps me sane
You get rid of all my sorrows
and show me a new tomorrow
Even when all hope is lost
For my sin, you paid the cost
My pride has always gotten in the way
Through thick and thin you'll stay
You pick up the pieces
Your goodness never ceases
You'll love me forever
You won't leave me ever.

or
Answer me in silence.
I can't feel you or touch you.
All I feel is distance.
Teach me that silence is of value.
or
I revel in these desert places.
Challenge me softly.
It's not the runners, it's the races.
These are the times I miss you awfully.
or
Answer me with banging, clanging or clatter.
When life goes by too fast
for anything else to matter.
In the end, nothing earthly will last.
Any of these ways will work,
which ever one you choose,
I love you more and more each day.
Take my life to use.
Leave me speechless.
Leave my life in disarray.
Make me give you notice.

God & Me
God & Me
I'm a candle, God's the flame.
I'm a cloud, God's the rain.
I'm a book, God's the author.
I'm a knight, God's my armor.
I'm the radar, God's the meterologist.
I'm the sauce, God's the crust.
I'm a phone, God's the signal.
I'm a car, God's the fuel.
I'm a keyboard, God's the mouse.
I'm the windows, God's the house.
I'm the branches, God's the vine.
I'm a catcus, God's the pines.
I'm a balloon, God's the air.
I'm the stuffing, God's the bear.
I'm the dust, God's the breeze.
I'm the legs, God's the knees.
I'm a panda, God's the eucalyptus.
I'm broken, God's my solace.
I'm a cloud, God's the rain.
I'm a book, God's the author.

Awesome Power
Awesome Power
I'm so amazed
by your Mercy & your Grace
You're greater than great
You love those who hate
You give to the undeserving
Forgive those who are sinning
You cleanse the unclean
You see the unseen
You stand before me
i'm awestruck by your glory
I was stuck in the dark
Then I saw a tiny spark
which lit into a flame
Into the light I came
Never to look back
I desire to stay on track
You light my path
I stay away from Your wrath
You consume my every desire
You're in the wind, the dust, the fire
You fill me with your love
I can never get enough
Each moment I pray
to be more in love with You everyday
I think of Your son
and the spiritual battle you won
the beautiful angel did fall
Lucifer never had a chance at all
the battle you did win
conquering all of our sin
that day on the cross
no victory was lost
three days did pass
all boundaries of death You did surpass
returning to Your father
of my book, he is my author.

The Ultimate Love Story
The Ultimate Love Story
This is a poem i wrote for my future husband, but chose to share with you guys anyways :)
You could be the
Boaz to my Ruth
Xerxes to my Esther
in this i tell the truth
no one could love you better
you could be the
Joseph to my Mary
Lover to my Beloved
you'll never need to be wary
i'll cherish you forever
i'll leave you never
'till death do us part
this is only the start
of a beautiful friendship
a lifetime of a trip
the ultimate love story
you don't need to worry
it'll be talked about for a while
i'd do anything to see you smile
i love you more than words can say
nothing can ever take that away
sometimes i feel like we're in a movie
i love you so very truly
what we have is something unique
don't take a step back and think
what God gave us is something great
in marriage we will participate
i love you more than you'll ever know
i can't wait to see where we will go
You can be the David to my Abigail
a love like ours will never fail.

Another Love Song for Jesus
Another Love Song for Jesus
You brighten my day
and my my biggest fears all go away
I love you
When i think of you i smile
you make my pain go away for a while
i love you
You are the reason for this love song
Holy is the King in who's arms i belong
The reason for my heart to cry out
for you i dance and twirl about
i love him so i sing
a love song for my King
I look around and gasp in awestruck wonder
at all your beautiful creation and your splendor
Mountains are moved, and rocks cry out
they sing of all that you're love is about
the trees call out Hallelujiah to our God
in spite of our great efforts we are flawed
You sent your son to die for me,
He was perfection; in everyway Holy,
you pour out your Mercy and your grace
I hope someday to meet you face to face.
I'm in love, what can i say?
You make all my pain and tears just melt away.
I am in awe of your mighty power,
I could talk to you hour after hour.
I love you of that i'm sure,
for you my body i'll keep pure.
I'm in love with my savior,
our awesome creator.
You soak up my every tear,
my every plea and prayer you hear.
My Jesus

Love Song for a Savior
Love Song for a Savior
He makes my pulse flutter.
My Heart race.
Butterflies in my stomache.
A smile on my face.
A beautiful desire,
to fall at His feet.
The one who came an conquered sin,
all the darkness to defeat.
The ultimate warrior King,
died for MY sins on the cross.
Even to this day we do sing,
about our greatest loss.
He's the ultimate catch,
lover of the unholy.
I love him,
But am i IN love with Him?
I should be,
but it's so hard for me.
He should be my main focus,
the object of my praise,
there in every crisis.
I should lift up his Holy name.
How many times do i stray?
From the path so narrow,
the only way.
He's the way, the truth, the life,
here in darkness and in strife.
In pain and anguish,
for my wrong doings -- he did perish.
He's perfect and Holy,
he protects my heart.
The beat him so cruely,
he's loved me from the start.
He gazes down upon,
my ragged, tear stained face,
in loving mercy and in kindness,
he bestows his forgiving grace.
Do i deserve it?
Not a chance.
He slaughtered Lucifer,
our lives to enhance.
We should live out every second,
every single goal,
listening to His word,
at that moment -- my heart He stole.
The Bible is truth,
the living word of God,
every word is proof,
that His love for us is Strong.
I love you, my God.
Help me be IN love with you

How great is our God
Sing with me, how great is our God?
And all who see,
How great,
How great,
Is our God?
I just want to challenge you with this:
How many times a week do you take time out of your day to just praise God for his awesome creation?
How many minutes of your day do you spend thanking God for what he's given you?
How many times an hour do you take things for granted?
If you died today would God pat you on the back and say "You've done well, my child?" or be dissapointed in you?
When that song came on the radio, i started singing along. Then i really started listening to the Lyrics, and i almost had to pull over because i was weeping so hard.
What do my goals matter in the span of life? Why should i waste my precious time on earth doing things that don't honor God, or aren't a witness to His name?

I'm so in love with You
I'm so in love with You
Recently i've been thinking, i know i love God, but am i IN love with Him?
This caused me to think back...
He's the greatest warrior,
the fiercest fighter,
the slayer of sins,
the redeemer and truth,
the everlasting life,
the abba father,
the beginning and the end,
he created the world,
so why am i not in love with Him?
Sure i love Him, but i should be so in love with Him that i'm focused on Him 100% of the time. Like loving a spouse, only more.
He should make my pulse race, my heart sing, and put a smile on my face. And to think that i don't have to text, facebook, or call him -- i can talk to Him at any time!
Prayer is Powerful.
Jesus i am so in Love with you!
