A poem

Merry belated Christmas to you all!

 

 [A bit of fashion from this non fashion related post; I admire people who wear red lipstick regularly, knock off ray's and of course, tights.]

To start, here are two Christmas miracles that occurred this season:

1. The Broncos won a football game, all thanks to Tim Tebow (whom my parents want me to marry, they recently informed me that that is their retirement plan.. no pressure)
2. My sister, Savannah, is getting married on September 29 to her fiance Jason. Anonymously, someone donated $5,000 dollars to their wedding venue, nearly paying in full the cost of their wedding. This only affirms the purity and value in their relationship

  On quite a different not from my usual posts, I have felt an urging in my heart to share a poem I wrote while I was abroad in New Zealand. I hope you not only enjoy this poem, but get a sense of meaning from it as well. May it touch your heart. 

It all started when I was a little girl

Trying to figure out this big, crazy world

But somewhere along the line

My eyes became blind

And I started to wonder

Where is this God of thunder?

It seemed as if maybe He was too busy

But thinking that only made my head dizzy

It made me all the more lost

Thinking God was this mean boss

Fire breathing

Always angry and leaving

Arms closed, back turned

Thinking this time my lesson was learned..

Until one day,

You changed my ways..

As if awoken from a sleep

You pulled me out of the deep

And when I thought all hope was gone

You showed up in my life like the morning dawn

The angry God that I thought..

Turns out He was not

I began to see Your love

And realized it was something from above

And as You gently drew in near

I lost all sense of fear

For a second I thought it was too good to be true

But then you gave me a heart brand new

Making me pure

And eternally secure

And suddenly I knew!

The One this was all possible through

And so I give praise to Your Son

Because I know He is the only one

Who gave me life

In the midst of all my strife
