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! =]

  1. Great post, great quote too! Often we wait too long, just cause we want it to be "safe" before we try anything...

    I LOVE poetry as well. I haven't read any for awhile though- maybe I'll pick up a book today :)
