Throwback Writings: Writing from 2005

I wrote this in March 2005, I was eighteen.  I'm not sure what I was thinking that inspired me to write it, albeit it isn't my best writing, but here it is.

Joy unspeakable we love to sing, shouting praises to our King. We run around and tell of our days, yet refuse to speak our Saviors name.  Sunday comes were at it again, joy unspeakable we love to sing, shouting praises to our King.  One hour, two hours, maybe three, we’re back to our usual days, laughter, sadness, fun and games, tears yet never do we spread all of Jesus cheer. 

Throwback Writings: God, You Love Everyone

I wrote this when I was a teenager, I think I was around the ages of 13-15.

God, You said you loved me for who I am

And you always will.

You said I was your child, that You had a plan for me.

You forgave me of my sins, said I was forgiven, and gave me a brand new start.

You took me in and made me who I am today, made me what you wanted me to be, even though You are still making me what I should be.

I can tell a difference and it makes me feel good to know,

You care for me.

Words can never say how much I love You, but I know You know cause You know everything.

Thank You for all that you’ve done and what You’re doing now and thank You that You love me for who I am cause,

You love everyone.

Throwback Writings: God's and God's Alone

I wrote this when I was a teenager.

I’m sick and tired of living my life my way.

Everything I do or try, all seems to crumble to the ground.

My world seems all mixed up.

I feel helpless and alone.

I never succeed at doing it my way on my own.

I only get heartache, grief and pain.

Once I think I’ve found my way, Hurray! I got it done, some obstacle falls in my path, and blocks my view from there it all goes down the drain.

My dreams, my goals and accomplishments, each time I do it on my own I realize I can’t do a thing without God.

It’s not my way that matters anymore, since Jesus came inside.  The only thing that matters is, I give my life completely to the one who saved my soul.

That way when I’m old I’ll know, I lived my life with no regrets.

It’s not my way anymore, It’s God’s and God’s alone.
