Tonight boy has some bad news
Heard my father just lots his job
My parents say we aren't living in the struggle
But I'm not a fool I see that this road is hard
How can you fire someone that doesn't do anything wrong
But I guess that how life goes
My mother hates her fob,but she puts on a smile anyway
I feel her pain , but there is nothing I can do
I used to do dirt to sooth the pain goy caught and put to shame
I think I was the the one made us leave the church
One day the church will forgive me
But I guess that how life goes
Another of my friends is gone died in a wreck
didn't to say good bye didn't even get to say Hi
It just wasn't fair that it ended like that
Didn't go to her funeral, but went to her stone
But I guess that how life goes
Time is running so fast no time to adjust
Can't get my head straight, mind is spinning
Just hold up I getting my barrings
One day I will fix it for the family
But I guess that how life goes
How things in life feel so wasted on what need not be
Steps we retrace can never be placed in spots exactly
Not everything straightens just like we want it to be
If taking more than giving any life will become empty
NO GREATER LOVE
There is no greater love
Than a Man would give
His very own life
That others might live
It was not just the act
Of dying to suffice
But the willingness of making
The ultimate sacrifice
But the glorious news
Of the event that day
Was not that He died
But was not meant to stay
Buried in a borrowed tomb
In a highly secure grave
On the third day He arose
To resume the life He gave
More than that, I hope you know
His death was not in vain
The victory in His rising
Made eternal life our gain
Not only did He rise to life
He ascended to take His throne
In His ascension, He promised
He would not leave us alone
He promised us a comforter
To stay until that day
He'll return to earth in glory
And take us home to stay
To live with Him forever
In Heaven up above
And make us all victorious
Through His no greater love

MY GIRL
Entry number one
The beginning of the end
Now we will find out
If the son can mend
I must let nothing stop me
I must not fall off the course
I must me my insecurities
With the necessary force
And if I do, and see it through
Would that mean anything to you?
Would you call yourself my girl?
And look at me with loving eyes
Would you live, and love, and learn, and grow
To understand a father’s cries?
You could travel down a path of sorrow
The cost is life with your soul to spend
But I’ve lost so much walking down that road
So it’s not something I would recommend
So in these months before your birth
I’ve got so many things to do
Work to give myself some worth
And make a better life for you
She feels it all around,
the darkness closing in.
The demons that aproach,
to scorn her for her sins.
She cowers down in shame,
she lays down on the floor.
She fears that the demons,
may soon break down her door.
She says that she is sorry,
she did not mean to sin.
She says she wants to walk,
in the sunlight once again.
"I pray for my forgiveness,
my soul dear lord please save.
I know that it was for my sins,
that your life you gave.
I'm asking you now dear lord,
please save me once again.
Do not let these foul devils,
feed upon my sin.
Come into my life right now,
and save my cursed soul.
Do not let the fires of Hell,
devour my life whole."
As she prayed with all her might,
she felt a change inside.
She know that with the grace of God,
the demons had all died.
Who knows life and it's game
Where we are and from where we came
Seems we never learned life’s lessons
But we want repentance from our transgressions
Change comes and the wind blows
But from now on you'll never know
Things we did in the past never have any regrets
In due time with apologies I hope it will make you forget
Anger will never reach a correct decision.
It always attracts strong opposition.
Strive to achieve in a fashion,
That will just prove your passion.
Hoping for a change for the better or worse,
As long as it's not too adverse.
Striving to make my future bright;
I challenge myself to go to different heights.
Struggling all my life for a penny or two.
Hope my dreams, though few, comes true.
In pursuit of new explanations,
To miracles and revelations.
No answer, only views and idle talk,
In life we have to be careful how we walk.
Leviticus 26:3-5 Think about God's plan for your life and walk on His set path. .. Life
Destiny. Life is bland, when we don't understand, God's command.
Do one good deed this year
Bring out joy, and good cheer.
Make it loving and sincere.
Voice it loud and clear.
Sympathize with everyone here.
Forward it all over the sphere.
Spread love outward, not just near.
Don’t let the pace alter or veer.
Let Gods’ true vision appear.
Lend your knowledge in revere.
Let his word be ultimate premier.
Love life real; keep it dear.
There is nothing in life to fear.
Not even death, if you really cohere.
Yours, mine, existence never unclear,
Don‘t just sit around on your rear.
Do good deeds, it will spread to a peer.

I know that you think
I am on the brink of success,
and dont neccessarily need you.
But what you think, and what i think are total opposites.
You are the missing link in my life right now.
I am not saying I want to be with you forever.
I am saying for right now you are that peice of the puzzle that I need.
My theory is that life is not one big puzzle, but multiple puzzles.
Each puzzle represents a different chapter in our life.
This chapter, you're the peice i need.
They say for every event
in your life there's a reason
A broken heart?
Unrequited love?
The emptiness might be overwhelming
surrounded by people but you feel all alone
emotionally dead
'cause your heart's desire is out of reach
and all u feel apt for is goodbye
no longer willing to go on
but if u take a step back?
You'll see that you are capable of having feelings
you might feel hurt,
you might feel alone
heaven knows, that’s what emotions entail
so push through that,
experience every emotion
embrace every moment
And when u are ready claim your life back
because satan has no right over you
it's not through his will you have made it thus far.
God is waiting for you to be still,
watch Him hold your hand
with the peace that only He can provide
He has not forsaken you,
He is waiting for you to utter the words
"I can’t do this without You"
THE GIFT OF THE CROSS
I am grateful for the power of God revealed in the cross
For without its revelation I would be eternally lost
The gift of salvation in His Son God freely gave
So that a wretch like me could be redeemed and saved.
He shed His blood to cleanse and take away my sin
The Holy Spirit testifies about the new birth within
His willingness to save is evidence of His compassion and love
Manifest in His Son the gift of God’s grace from above.
It broke the power of sin in my life and set me free
I have become a new creation evident for all to see
The transformation that comes from being a doer of His word
It changed my life forever that now His praises might be heard.
Living a new life is the evidence that His Spirit is at work inside
Bearing much fruit is the proof that in His presence I abide
Walking obediently in His ways is how I continue to grow
Abiding in His word is how more of Him I come to know.
Bringing glory to God is my sole purpose here on earth
It is the only way to live that brings value and worth
Looking forward to experiencing the fullness of His grace
When I stand in His presence and see Him face to face.
Out of the darkness
I step into light
Everything in my life turned Bright
The promise of light
Came in and took control
Now I am on a roll
The violence of the past
Is no longer there
No more pain do I bear
The dreams of the future
Are there and ready
Moving slow and steady
Out of the darkness
Comes the light
I am filled with delight
The promise of light
Fills me with joy
Like a child getting a christmas toy
The violence of the past
Died a death...painful and slow
I am ready come on let's go
The dreams of the future
Consume me
I can finally live and be free
Out of the darkness
I step into light
Everything in my life turned BRIGHT!
If life ended today,
nothing I would leave behind
but the fairest love I gave away;
and who wouldn't say I was too kind?
Looking back with disbelief and much dismay, I see the old, wretched me
overwhelmed by the lustful urges that
could have killed me before I had reached the promising age of thirty;
but the Lord spared me from wrath.
If life ended today,
with these hands no treasure
of any value I would attempt to take away...
considering salvation the worthiest measure.
My yesterdays were illusions of an unfulfilled desire
reflecting a cold, indirect light... and it certainly did not shine on me,
when onlookers stopped but refused to help me when I was stuck in mire;
to whom should I be thankful, if not to my merciful Lord who restored my dignity?
If life ended today,
no regrets would turn into grins,
remembering how wrong choices misguided my morality;
hope did not exist...it took repentance and faith to overcome my sins.
Once life slipped from my young days,
taking away all happiness;
it rained, but flowers didn't grow,
hope was as far as a rainbow...
deprivation and longing
made me shout at my ill fate
to stop its wrongdoing
before it turned to hate.
Yes, taking back life wasn't easy,
but what's left is mine to pursue...
to enjoy before my hour of death;
and I hope that it will continue
without disrupting the harmony
between love and happy living:
'though lost time can't return,
the present is enough!
Years have passed and generosity
has flourished in a loveless heart,
now, every friend notices how
it loves them without resentment;
and they reflect over my words,
" Taking back life wasn't easy...
I fought hard and won
by making the right choices!"
It’s You
A simple smile
A kind gesture
Saying you love me
Just being there
Even on my worst days
There is the joy of one person
Who can make me smile
It’s You
The gentleness of your touch
The kindness in your eyes
That special look
Means all the world to me
As it reminds me that
It’s You
Someone I can lean on
A confident
A best friend
The one I want to spend
The rest of my life with
Someone I cannot imagine my life without
Someone who makes me smile
Even when I want to cry
I am so happy I found that special person
That special bond
That once in a lifetime kind of love
I found it all
It’s You
The man of my life
My husband, my best friend
I love you!
By: Jean Shular
In my life so wonderful
I have many, many blessings
To share with you, a few this day
Though many I am missing.
Life!
Love!
Learning!
My family...and most of all...
My husband.
My home - so full of life
My garden - lush and vibrant
My job - my livelihood
My city - thriving and dynamic
Health - it allows me to enjoy the rest!
Opportunities for growth (they are everywhere)
My ability for self expression
My desire for knowledge
The safety I enjoy,
Living in my bountiful country
The food in my kitchen
The clothes in my closet
My flaws - they make me unique and interesting
My attributes - they balance out the flaws
And finally, most of all,
Thankful for
Who I am and the life I live...
A great blessing indeed!
