As The Wind Blows

This is a poem I wrote while watching a rain storm.

Tree tops being tossed around in the wind, rolling back and forth, the wind testing their very strength. At times they roll peacefully like tall grass and I feel relaxed watching them. But at other times they are being thrashed around like the wild waves of the sea. Sometimes I feel as if I am amongst them being tossed around as they are.
The wild, wild wind swirling stray leaves through the air while the trees limbs bend after them begging for their return.
Can you imagine being a tree? Can you imagine the stories you would have, the feeling you would have of being thrown around in the breeze. What an adventure that would be.

The Peaceful Life of a Country Kid

Ok so I was at a friends house for a party and most of the people there were adults that I didn't know. So I went on a walk by myself and wrote this in my diary.
The pictures are pictures of my friends property:)



Dear Diary,
The peaceful life of a country kid.
Right now I am sitting on a bench by the creek at Chrissy's house.
Just sitting and listening to the sounds of the peaceful gurgling creek. The suns rays glistening like diamonds on the surface. The sweet smell of fresh water. The cool breeze gentaly blowing on my face.
I could sit here for hours just thinking, thoughts from my past and thinking about my future.
My mind wanders as far as the heavens. I can't help but let it.
The beautiful purple flowers pop out from the luscious green grass, the butterflies Pirouetting across the land.
I can't help but wonder if God has a place for me like this in Heaven. If he does...well then...you'll know where I'll be. :)


God created the Heavens and the Earth. What a beautiful Earth he made for me!

Car Show

Dear Readers,

Yesterday my family and I went to the car show about 10 minutes down the road from us. It was the last one for the summer:(
I love going it is so much fun!!!! We buy an ice cream cone (chocolate for me) and then we browse around and look at all the different cars. I just LOVE car shows!!!!

Well anyway here are some snap shots from O'Kenny's (that is what the place is called)

A Capital Experience

Dear Readers,

We all know that the Same-Sex marriage bill hit the floor and was passed.
I was at the Capital for 3 different days along with my sister and my Mom. We went with a group from our church only once and that was the HARDEST day I ever experienced.
I was made fun of, they kept nagging me, I was yelled at in my face and in my ear. I admit I have a short fuse and I'm pretty sure some of you know that. Well there were times I wanted to turn around face to the woman who was yelling in my ear and slap her in the face. BUT I didn't even turn around. I took a deep breath and just stayed where I was. God spliced a longer piece of fuse in with the one I was burning. They were trying and pushing the Christians to get mad and to make them say something. That's what they wanted.
On the bus ride home that day I just cried, it really cut me deep to see so many people hate us and hurt us because we did nothing other then not supporting their belief.
I said to mom "Mom I never want to go there again."
But sure enough that night my mind was changed. We got an email from Katy Key (our Pastors wife) saying that she loved seeing us stand up publicly for what was right and she looked forward to standing up for Christ again with us.
The next day we went...in the afternoon. It was very quite because we stayed out of the pit and just stood in the Senate lobby and the Senate chambers and prayed. We were made fun of and teased while we were in the Senate Chamber. They were taking pictures of my sister and I and trying to make us mad. We had to go pick up my brother from school so we got up and and left and when we did that you could hear the woman yell "Yes" because she thought she got rid of us.
Then we came back on the same day during the evening. We went with a friend of ours and we were there from 6:30 to 10:00pm standing holding signs and singing praises to God. There was one time where all the Christians were on their knees praying and singing. It was truly AMAZING!!!! The news people filmed it but they never showed it on the news. But it doesn't matter...the ONLY thing that matters is that God saw us.

Well that was my experience.

Dinners ready I have to go now:)
