Father

I was the Father that cheered for you when your earthy father didn't show 

        up to your competition.

I was the Father that sat net to you at every Thanksgiving dinner when your

       earthly father stayed behind to work.

I was the Father who tucked you in and gave you a goodnight kiss when

        your earthly father was spending the night with another woman.

I was the Father who wished you happy birthday when your earthly father 

        forgot to tell you.

I was the Father who joked with you at dinner while your earthly father 

      worked extra late.

I was the Father who took you to school on your first day when your 

       earthly father didn't have time to.

I was the Father who sat down and watched movies with you 

      while your earthly father made money instead of spending quality time.

I was the Father who cuddled with you when you cried when your earthy 

      father got upset when you cried.

I was the Father that called you beautiful when your earthly father called  

     you fat.

I was the Father who loved you when your earthly father didn't.

a love

i just want a hand to hold

a heart to love 

and an arm to hug

a smile to share

a heart to care

a love unfold

i want an eye to wink

a look to sneak

and a joy complete

in all these things 

i want them with you

the only thing is 

i want them true

haha just something on my heart... no reason for it :)

Narnia

I'm sitting in bed with my two best friends at the beach and we are watching chronicles of narnia.
I cant help but see my life in this movie, with the four different characters.

in so many ways i'm like peter and let the pride and leadership things take control. it blindsights me. what i say goes and its just silly. but its part of it.

in many other ways i become like susan and become so logical and legalistic. my thoughts turn to facts rather than faith and i begin to doubt.

but then i am so much like edmund and am willing to sell things out for something good. something better. im willing to sacrifice someone else to save my life. i only look out of me and not for the good of others.

and lastly in so many ways i am like lucy. the child like faith takes me to beautiful places. it gives me joy and peace. i am cute and funloving but just love on other people. the love i have for them and other things shines brightley in the way i walk in talk.

but no matter what character i am
today
tomorrow
or yesterday
i still need an aslan
my aslan that will go to the stone table for me
i couldnt live my life without him
and without his perfect sacrifice i would have died.
without that perfect sacrifice
he couldnt have befundled the white witch
and saved my life from death.
without him i would have lost the battle.
without him i wouldnt have learned to love

election

i love my Jesus

whether obama or mccain is in office

i trust my Jesus

whether or not the president is muslim

i trust my God 

because His Word is life and truth

it never fails

the things of this world now are just coming true

its about time.

MY God spoke of this

and what he says is true

but i will lean on Him because he is rock

a shield 

a fortress

dont become blind by your own indifference 

or ignorance 

or stupidity.

no man can shake the foundations of my God

no law can stop the freedom in my heart.

no jail or money amount or anything can stop the joy i feel inside

its because of Jesus

America its time to face the facts.

Where is the trust we pledge everyday

where is the hope we speak of

we dont live up to it.

the trust in the Most High will save us

but realize God is a mystery

just because you didnt get your way

does not mean He is not working

He is ALWAYS working

there is a plan not just for you 

but for our country

everything is for His Glory

so stand america!

be strong

trust in God

because we are One Nation under One God

nothing like that changes.

so i will stand

with the Strength of my God

praise you forever and ever

missed opportunitys

so  yesterday i headed downtown and took some pictures with some amazing people... but i ran into this lady who probably changed my life forever... her name was brenda.. i was so compelled to stop i did and just got to know here a little bit. she was so cute and so sweet. she asked me for money because she was homeless and hungry. she hadnt had a job in 3 weeks and had been living on the streets.. some teeth were missing but my heart went out to her... i had no money so i offered to pray for her... right in the middle of downtown birmingham. i pray for a little while... not a baptist prayer just a prayer that was on my heart. but the thing is i met with God. for a split second. i met face to face with an opportunity to meet God and i grabbed at it. 

about 30 hours later my mom is late coming home and i want to go to church.... i get so frustrated that she is an hour late that i fly down the interstate. fly like 100 ish my sole focus was to get to church on time for a prayer meeting... i was already late so i was gonna have to come in late and the frustration built and built and built.. i get to church and sit down and im convicted like crazy. its like i hear God telling me... YOU MISSED ME. I COULD HAVE SHOWED YOU SOMETHING GREAT AND CRAZY AND LOVED ON YOU IN YOUR FRUSTRATION WHEN IT WAS JUST THE TWO OF US BUT YOU MISSED ME.  and my mind began to think alot. i missed an opportunity to meet face to face with my Creator. i missed out on it. i cant believe that. how many times do i walk down the hallway and miss an opportunity. when i see someone crying and i pass by... where is the compassion. thats how i meet God face to face taking the missed opportunities the people before you didnt take. now its not all about who takes them. its the fact that they are getting taken. but why would i want to miss out on an opportunity to love on God to meet with him. to talk about him or with him. why? is my world so much better than his love.

HECK NO

so now... every missed opportunity from the person in front of me is just another opportunity God is graciously giving me..
