Poems
Ok so I was looking through some old/new poems I wrote today and thought that I would post some of them, so you people would somewhat know how I've been feeling lately.
Despair
The definition of despair…
To lose or abandon hope;
Be or become hopeless.
To lose heart,
Also to abandon oneself
To fate…
To be in despair is like
Having your dreams shattered
To millions of pieces.
This is when you need to be
Wrapped in someone’s arms,
To never again be let go.
Life gets so complicated,
You start doubting things
That you’ve never doubted before
Thinking things that
Were never thought of before.
Doing things that you regret.
It makes you feel
Like the outsider looking in
Through a bullet proof window
And no matter how much
You pound on it
No one can hear you inside...
To lose or abandon hope;
Be or become hopeless.
To lose heart,
Also to abandon oneself
To fate…
To be in despair is like
Having your dreams shattered
To millions of pieces.
This is when you need to be
Wrapped in someone’s arms,
To never again be let go.
Life gets so complicated,
You start doubting things
That you’ve never doubted before
Thinking things that
Were never thought of before.
Doing things that you regret.
It makes you feel
Like the outsider looking in
Through a bullet proof window
And no matter how much
You pound on it
No one can hear you inside...
Doubts and Dreams
Millions of thoughts go through my mind
As I think deeply about how long this may last.
How long will you be around, with me?
Why am I not fine when I say I am?
How do I know you are lying to me?
Sometimes I wish for you to be mine forever,
To give me the things I want or need.
I mean this when I say it, I LOVE YOU!
I miss you more then anyone in this world.
Life comes once, lets spend it together.
I need a guy who says I’m BEAUTIFUL,
Who calls back when I hang up,
Who stays awake just to watch me sleep.
I need a guy who kisses my forehead,
Who holds my hand in any circumstance.
This guy must also remind me constantly
Of how much he cares about me,
And about how lucky he truly is.
He must put aside the judgment of his friends
And be proud of who I am.

Bad Self-Image
Everyday since this all began
I’ve looked in the mirror
Not really liking what was seen.
I often wonder if this is some kind of punishment
For something I did
Or something I never did.
Do I not pray enough?
Do I not read the bible enough?
Did I do something that I didn’t atone for?
There are endless possibilities
For why this may have happened.
Maybe it was just something that was meant to be.
Either way I hate it.
How can it be a God given blessing in disguise?
Whatever it is I’m really not that enthusiastic.
I’ve asked God so many times
Why me? Why now?
Will you please fix it? Why not?
I’m doing well at keeping this my secret.
There are few people who know how I feel
And not one of them is in my family.
Since day one I’ve felt this torment
This deep despair of being alone.
Who would want this disease in their life!
I did not ask for this!
I did not ask that my chances
Of having my own family be cut in half!
Oh the endless possibilities of a miracle!
Some divine intervention!
Ask and you will receive, be bold!
Well I have been bold
And nothing has happened.
I`m still unhappy with who I am.
Whenever I look in a mirror
What I see I wish was not me
Or that someday the image will change.

The Sadness Will Fade
Yesterday I felt such sadness
Wondering if I could escape this madness;
The madness of my thoughts of you
And some are ringing very true.
No one could express the pain
Of the one thing I thought to gain,
But couldn’t grasp this meaning
Of the light gently beaming;
This light I was drawn to
I believe was sent, for it was you.
What I believed wasn’t the truth,
All lies, it was, and now I’m filled with ruth.
The light has faded away to nothing,
Just a tiny spot in the distance, dully shining.
Unknown to you all of this was.
My heart was tearing if half because
You went on with life like nothing happened.
I don’t understand these feelings of being frightened
Of being brushed off as something trivial
Not worth the time of day to you at all.
The sadness of yesterday has carried itself to today
And I’m thinking it really wants to stay.
How should I get ride of its bothersomeness
Without making me into its very own mess?
Would cutting myself off completely do?
Will that be sufficient enough for you?
I believe not because you need my encouragement
This friendship that God said was to be meant.
Somehow I’ll move on from yesterday.
This immense pain wasn’t meant to stay,
It will fade away in time no matter its size;
Much like the light of joy fading from my eyes.

Submission (Ephesians 5:22-33)
So what does submission look like?
-> LOVE and RESPECT
-> a partnership
-> support from each other
What does submission NOT look like?
-> role stereotypes
-> dictatorship/authoritarianism
-> "serving" as a subordinate
"Every problem in a marriage can be traced back to the husband's lack of genuine love for his wife." - Anonymous
I believe that not every problem in a marriage is the husband's fault, the wife could not be showing respect or the views on how love and respect are shown are different in the eyes of the couple.

Day of Beauty and... Disaster!!
Okay, so Austin and I went to S'toon yesterday. He went to visit his girlfriend, Caitlyn, and I went to visit Jessica. On the way God was showing me so much beauty! Just the way that the birds flew... It was captivating and mysterious how they were made in just a that way. The way that the Canadian geese flew in their systems... I don't know why but I was just so amazed with everything yesterday. I could barely do my homework because I was always looking out the window! There was a time while we were driving that I felt comfortable and like I was just driving to town with Aaron, but I knew it wasn't Aaron. And that we weren't going to Meadow. I had my iPOD with me so I listened to one of Aaron's songs.
We got to S'toon fine. Guys, Austin is a scary city driver! I got to Jessica's and then she and I decidied to go for a walk. We walked down to the mall, which isn't that far, and while we were there I bought a basket and a big notepad. Then we went and watch Harry Potter The Order of the Phoenix. That was the firste time I had seen it. Wow! It was really good I thought. That lady who tried to take over Hogwarts was weird, and Sirius's cousin was CREEPY! That new girl was a little weird but I liked her. Anyways after that we went back to the house and had some crapes for supper and then waited for Austin.
Now travelling back was when the disaster happened. Well basically Jeremy's car broke down and we couldn't get back. Some nice people stopped to help us. I found out on the drive to their house to use their phone that the man was related to one of Jessica's uncles! Yes Jess, your aunt Kathy's husbands cousin stopped to help us out. So we phoned and stayed at the Scott's (Caitlyn's) house for the night. It was a little awkward at first, but Caitlyn is a pretty cool person and I can see why Austin likes her. Her family is amazing too. Yeah we went to bed at 2 am (that would be the second night in a row for me).
This morning we found out that it was not worth fixing the car, so now we have to take the bus back to Nipawin. This is going to be a long day and it was quite the experience... So the bus gets back to Nipawin at 10- 10:30 tonight...
