Poem inspired by a sermon i heard last night
I was a photograph of grief, hate, and desperation.
You came into my life and cut me into a thousand pieces.
By your marvelous hands I was reshaped into something beautiful,
Something of worth and value.
Then you put me in a picture frame of your perfection,
Without which I would crumble into what I once was,
And You hung me onto a wall with a million others.
All of which differed,
All of which were beautiful.
Basicaly this poem is something i thought of last night after i visited the tab. One of the guys preached on the corruption of man, how we are by nature terrible creatures. And with god in our lives we become valuable to his kingdom...but it is not US who do incredible things, it is god working THROUGH us with his "marvelous hands". But if we forget that it is god in his great perfection that is working through us, and we start to think it is us who are doing great things, then we will fall back into the nature of our hearts. He also preached on how god often times will "cut me into a thousand pieces" in order to mend us and make us better through him.
Ok now i might as well update...uhm, spring break is over. i went to a switchfoot concert on...saturday. it was completely amazing. i had the GREATEST time ever. they had a great performance. we went really early and we hung out and rode on the rides, but then me cas and deanna got really bored so we just decided to hang out and wait in line for the concert. We got the best place we possibley could with our tickets. haha (this is what waiting 4 hours before a concert will do for ya!) We got to watch them soundtest n stuff and he came out durring soundtrack and shook hands (with the guys...including me) and squeezed or touched or w/e the girls hands. it was helarious cause i was talking to deanna and im like...ur not gonna be all OMG HE TOUCHED MY HAAAAND, and she said "no clif im not that kind of girl.." and sure enough she was like that. lol. After the concert we all drove home in the big bus which was freezing cause some of the windows wouldnt go up. lol. Deanna and i tried to sleep some but there were so many bumps it was hard...esp considering we had like no room. lol. well thats all for now i gotta go back to school. laaaaaaater
