How Beautiful

I was sitting on my back deck star gazing when I felt someone sit next to me. now there was no one there...well no one you could see. You know those thoughts you get that you know aren't yours but God talking to you..yeah i had one right then the conversation went kinda like this...

"thought"-"aren't they Beautiful? I made them"
me- "yeah there amazing... why did you make them?"
"thought"- "I made them for you Amy"
me- tears
hehehe...

as I sat there with this presence I had this poem come to mind!

How Beautiful
a shimmer of light
in a sea of darkness
How beautiful
a child's laugh
in a field of screams
How beautiful
a song a trust
in a world of doubt
how beautiful
a man of faith
in a place of death
how beautiful
an act of love
for a world of hate
how beautiful

Next time you're out there, look at how the city lights come in from all sides, making it impossible to see stars. But, right above our deck, you can see the stars clearly.

It is so beautiful to have a personal, loving God!! I love your poem, too. I think I'm gonna write it on a post-it and stick it somewhere I'll see it often... :)

GUESS WHO'S WON

Now that it's on, we're out in the front of this marathon I never really thought we were in such a big fight, until the other night . You see me and my sister share a room and have all but 4 years of my life! And Saturday she had a friend over and so I was in my room alone! I was getting ready for bed and I turned the light off and all of the sudden I felt this feeling that I was not alone in the room like some one was watching me. This wasn’t the first time that it has happened to me before but normally I let it be and try to go to sleep. but this time it was so strong I couldn’t do that! So I thought this is not of God so I said with as much confidence as I could muster IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST GET OUT! And it left. I was fine! War can be ugly. And this one is going to be big! Cause We're on the enemy's hit list. So step back I'm on a one way track, devil To take back all the things that you've stolen. And with the power of God I'm gonna persevere. ...

Gossip

I wrote the poem when I was in my Gossip infested small group at my old church... I didn't like all the drama that went on there... and when I tryed to keep some friends from that group gossip and drama just crept right back into my friendship with them... the only way to get rid of drama and gossip is to surround your-self with Godly friends and not to partake in it... it was hard for me to do this and i still catch my-self doing my share of the gossiping! so read share what you think and yeah so talk to you all later! It spreads like water It burns like an unstoppable fire It goes on and on It hurts like a knife wound It spreads like a weed It goes on and on It messes with your emotions It tears relationships apart It goes on and on It you can never trust It plays with your mind It goes on and on It causes problems It you can never stop It goes on and on It divides groups It is wicked It goes on and on It is all these things and It goes on and on One love One God Only one...

life in a new world.

somewhere between the 4th and 8th episode of lost and the 8 pieces of pizza I realized I have an extended family! with cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas, and grandpas! I have gone 7 years without them and now i have them in the body of Christ...the thing is with the body of Christ we are more connected and more deep then my blood extend family EVER was. and it feels good! Life in the body of Christ, makes me want to be more then just okay! I love my church and everyone in it! and i feel this is where God truly wants me to be! as i turn 17 I look back on the last few years I have had my heart broken by a boy...I have had about 6 or 7 "true" friendships fall apart... and i left the church I had gone to since i was 4! alot has happened yet i was NEVER truly deep down to the soul happy. but i would LOVE to tell you I am now! God has given me the best family a girl could ask for and great church family too... I am SO lucky you guys should just start calling me lucky! ~AEG~
