Pen And Paper

Just a random poem I wrote my first semester at the Bible College. I found it again and thought I would share with you all......  so here it is......  ~Nothing Without You~ Oh Lord... where do I start? What am I supposed to do? Here I am again... falling apart.  No matter how hard I try- I fail In every way- I fail My mind is so scattered- I can’t even think, No matter how hard I try I just sink...  I’m so sorry... I don’t listen to you, then get into a mess And turn right back- crying and stressed.  But I never hear you say, “I told you so.” But instead, “Come to Me, child. I love you so.” Lord, Put my mind at ease,  I’m down on my knees I’m just so frustrated- is this what I get for being kind?  Taken advantage of... and left behind?  But why do I care? Why does it hurt?  It’s not like I didn’t know... not like I couldn’t see,  I have no one to blame but me.  I try so hard to ...

But what do you do when the skies turn dark and it starts raining? It’s our natural response to get angry and bitter at the Lord when situations turn sour and the sunshine hides behind the clouds. Just because it seems inconvenient for you, doesn’t mean it wasn’t put there for a reason. ...

Tagging on to my previous blogs, I would like to pose the question which the title has already made obvious.....What is love? Is it that feeling of your heart leaping in your chest when that “special someone” walks in the room? Those butterflies flying around your head, clouding your thoughts and tying your tongue in knots? Is love that twinkling in your eye when you’re gazing into his or hers?  Unfortunately, this world has yet again tainted something which the Lord intended to be very different. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 sums it up very well... “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.” Looking through this list, it doesn’t say anything about butterflies or twinkling eyes. Instead it speaks o...
