writing and reading....

Recently I have been really into reading! I actually have been my whole life, but right now, I really love poetry! I used to make fun of my sister because she liked it and I thought it was dorky, well turns out its one of my favorite things to read now (funny how that works=]).

One poem particularly stuck out at me when I read it. Its called "If I can stop one heart from breaking" by Emily Dickinson. By even reading the title you can tell its a great poem! I'll quote it for ya'll, its not long at all =]


"If I can keep one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life from aching,
or cool one pain,
or help one lonely person
into happiness again
I shall not live in vain."


After I read that I was like that is just awesome! I dont know why but that poem has kept with me this whole week!

I have also been reading novels (a lot, haha). Two by Robin Jones Gunn and one by Virginia Smith. They write so well! And even tho their just books and made up stories they still show the love of Christ on each page! I am just so blessed to be surrounded by that where ever I go!

Recently I have also been making up a couple 'quotes'...I guess you could call them. Their not much but they remind me I'm unique and that God loves me the way I am! So....if ya'll don't mind, I'll show ya one =]] now, please don't make fun of me cuz I am not that great of a writer, and its just for fun! here goes...


"dont wait for the impossible to become possible--- dont quite so you dont have to wish you didnt---dont stand by till there's no more time to---dont wait for the yes, go until God tells you no---....do the impossible, dont quite, do it now, and dont stop! God wants you to be apart of this, dont get to the end of your life and wish you had been!"

So I guess thats all for now =]] if your not a reader kinda person, thats ok cuz well we're all different =]] just keep doing what ya love...and love what ya do!...and remember what ever you do, do to God's glory!! =] hope your having an awesome week!

Ps. if you are a reader...try reading some poems, their surprisingly fun to read! =]

gesegneter Redeemer ...blessed Redeemer

Recently I have been playing my piano and guitar a lot (that's part of the reason I haven't blogged in a while =])! It's a ton of fun and a huge blessing! Its amazing God would give us the ability to sing and praise Him =]]]But any way, I have been playing one of my favorite songs "Praise You in the storm" a lot, I highly recommend it, specially if your having an off day, it reminds you that we need to be praising Him always. So I play it and listen to it on my ipod all the time. I was hoping that Casting Crowns would come up with another great song that I could play and listen to! Well...they did =] Its called "Blessed Redeemer" from their new cd 'Until the whole world hears' (which is another great song). Let me just say..wow...its a something else =]]] You can ask my mom or sister, I play it alllll the time on my piano now! It just explains so well what Jesus did for us and how amazing He is for it! I know this was shorter than my norm but I just wanted to show you this song. I hope that God will use it to show you something new about Him =]] Have a wonderful blessed day!! Love ya =] btw...there's a link below for the version of it on youtube, there should be words and stuff to go along! Hopefully it works =]]]
