He Is Here

Christ died, giving up everything to come here and teach us how to live. He came to show us how much He was willing to go though for us. That He was even willing to go though a death far worse then any of ours will ever be because it wasn't just Him dying, He was taking the punishment for our sin with Him. Letting it separate Him from His father temporarily so that you and I could be with Him eternally. 

Then He rose from the grave, conquering death for all of us. When His followers came to the tomb that day, an angle told them "He is not here, He has resin!" 

The power those words hold is just incredible. God broke the chains of death, coming out of the grave so that we could be with Him. 

Then He sent His spirit to fill us so we could have a relationship with Him. 

I think one of the most amazing things about Easter for me is being able to know two that He is not in the grave anymore, He has resin. But He is here, in my soul, and He is never leaving.

He came because of His never failing, never ending, perfect love.

He is alive, and He is here.

What Darkness Holds

A little something I wrote the other night at 11:00 after everyone had gone to bed.

The darkness holds

So many unknowns

 Some of them are terrifying

For that’s where monsters are

Storms rage

And battles are fought

But that’s also where

Moonlight shines down

Fireflies flicker

Cricket’s chirp

Stars cover the sky

The galaxy reveals itself

Peace is found

Rest is taken

And all around

Even if there are monsters

They are nothing compared

To the majesty God provided

And the simple delights

He provided for us

So maybe the darkness holds

Our greatest treasures

Story's That Won't Behave

Hello everyone! Well, as most of y'all know, CampNaNo is going on right now. Usually I have no problem and I fly though it super fast. Not this year. I've changed story's twice, because the first two times I got very stuck in my story's. Now I'm writing a story I've only been planning for *cough* a little over a week. But, its going alright so far, so that's awesome. But it is rather annoying to have two story's that I really want to write, but I just cannot seem to get into.

I'm also having some trouble getting things done in a timely manner. Which is not really a huge problem, its just annoying when I sit down to do something, and then I have no idea where the time goes. Please tell me someone else has this problem. 

Well, I'm off to (try to) write some more. 

How is your writing going? 

What's your best tip for getting things done fast?

What if I'm Tired

This is where I was a month ago, but I find myself back here so many times. I thought I'd share it with ya'll.

What if 

Tonight 

I’m tired 

Tired of the struggle

Tired of the fight 

Tired of all the wars 

Raging inside 

Tired of my failures 

Tired of my faults 

Tired of all the unanswered 

Questions inside my heart

Do I even need to fight this? 

Is it really real? 

Am I being over dramatic? 

Or do I need all of this? 

I am tired of the questions 

Tired of myself 

Tired of wondering if today

Might be the day 

It all comes clear 

I know there is an answer 

Out there 

But I haven’t reached it yet 

God hasn’t put it in 

His perfect plan 

For me to know yet 

The worst part of it is 

I no longer know 

Weather I’m not

Doing something wrong 

Or if God is withholding something 

For His perfect plan

I’m too tired for the fight 

Tonight

I have to take a rest 

Maybe my dreams 

Will let me break away 

From the fight

I fight all day

March Highlights

Hello everyone! 

Received Meraki box. Read more about that here.

I got my contact page up. Finally. It took me a ton of google searches and try's to finally get that contact box in the page. And a friend made the blog even better by getting rid of that annoying arrow that's been in the top left corner of the screen for months.

I got red galoshes. Yes, this was important. They are awesome. ;)

My friends Jessica and Julia came to see me for a whole week. That was super awesome. I'll tell more about that later.

My best friend Lauren came back after a long trip! Yicks it hard to go without besties for months. =/

My sisters and I had a girls day and went ice skating. The picture above is my super graceful ice skating. ;D I had a ton of fun, and actually managed to get away from the wall! As you can see though, I was not super good at keeping my balance without sticking my arms out. 

My bike broke down for the first time on a ride. Thankfully my dad came to the rescue and picked me up. *Cue superhero music*

Hiked River Place Nature trail again. This time we took some different paths!!

Mansfeild park, Never, and The Cat of Bubastes were all rereads, but other then that my favorite book was kinda a tie between Hazardous Duty and The Bronze Bow. They were both awesome for different reasons.
