Almost Perfect
I'm overflowing from the week, I don't think I have had a week like this ever before. So much beauty, the rain, the friends, the poems, the Lord. I got to experience all those gifts at their fullest amounts this week. The weather was breathtaking, days of rain, indescribable sunsets that left the landscape we live in looking so fresh. I have gotten even closer to my great friend, Doug Kiley, if that is even possible. We are on such a level of understanding with one another that I feel so blessed to have this friendship and I know he feels the same. I wrote three poems this week, a few people have read them and many more will. I plan to put all of them up before I leave for Anaheim Friday. Saturday was by far one of my best days spent here on this Earth. I woke up early, around 9 O'clock. Around noon I headed off to Starbucks with my poetry notebook, and my I pod. As I sipped on my coffee, and switched on some Death Cab, a feeling of timelessness fell over me. I was set in a corner next to the window, and the whole setting was so serene, so beautiful that I was in awe of the whole moment. I wrote two new poems just in that sitting, watching life outside through the window, gazing upon the customers in the shop. I felt different, like I was looking at life through a new eye, maybe a poet's eye? I enjoy writing poetry so much, and so far my friends like the works too which inspires me to keep writing. It's all beautiful tonight, what a weekend. I love being excited for the future, looking forward to the unknown. Today after Church I decided that I want to become a youth leader when I'm at college age. Hopefully by then I will have somewhat a grasp of how glorious God and his son are. Today in worship we talked about "lost" kids, and what we can do to show them the way. How can we show them the way? How can I get someone away from a life style they are so used to, even if it is a life style filled with drugs, alcohol, lies, and so much more negativity? Showing them the word of the Lord, show them how I live for HIM, and how I feel so good toward life, I'm living without drama, and more importantly, the pain that can come from neglect. I have to start small, one person at a time, and I know exactly who to try to help. She is such a beautiful girl, she is so nice and friendly, but her spirit is crushed, her heart is broken and she is growing up without a father. The people she is hanging out with these days are not religious, and she is growing under this tragic lifestyle that takes away so many people from the true life. The bright road only has one direction, straight to heaven. More people must see this road and not be frightened by it. Is it the word religion? Does FAITH or JESUS make people un easy? How can you be nervous of your father? Your creator? Your LIFE? I'm going to pour out my heart to help this girl, I love her so much and I can not bear her being hurt anymore. She is in my prayers every night along with you and everyone who read these entries. I am truly touched that people read these entries, people CARE how I feel and they enjoy hearing my highest highs, and are there to help me in my lowest lows. Please, tonight before you go to bed, think about your relationship with Christ...Is it strong? Is He your love? Your life? Is he your Savior? Once you give your heart to him you will feel the change, he loves us all so very much....
He is dialing the number to your heart...
Will you pick up the phone?
