Hello, My Name is Awe ful-Horable-Keeps you away from God-Addicting-Ugly-Nasty-Mean-Selfish-Idol

Idol- "Hello, since you already know my name
Let me start and compliment you by saying...
How lovely you look today.
Your hair is styled, Your clothes are reasonable...
Oh Honey! Look at your shoes!
They do not match your shirt at all.
They are old and out of style.
Just think of how great you would look if you would fix yourself up...
You could fix your weight problem and you could be more in style!
You would have popularity.
You would be the best.
Don't you know that in order to be happy, you must look fantastic!
God doesn't matter".
Amy- I turned and glanced into the mirror
Was Idol right?
I mean, he made a good point... What else is their to live for, but myself? God doesn't matter!
Narrator- Amy became popular just like she wanted. She was liked by everyone because of how she looked. No one else mattered except for herself. Idol was her best friend. She soon lost satisfaction in her popularity and looks, she is in misery. God doesn't matter to her.
Idol- "Hello, since you already know my name...
Let me just start by saying...
How excellent you are in your studies!
You work so hard and get grades you deserve.
You are liked by all the teachers.
You have bragging rights because of your intelligence!
One day, YOU could be successful.
One day, YOU could become a multi-millionare!
But...you'd have to be smarter
You would have to devote ALL of your time and obsess over your grades.
No one else is important.
You live for you.
God doesn't matter".
Aaron- my eyes dove into my textbook. Idol was right, I could be successful! I should live for me! God Doesn't matter.
Narrator- Aaron became rich just as Idol said he would. He had the nicest house and the nicest car. Soon after, he too became miserable because Idol was his best friend. God didn't matter to him.
Idol seems nice and polite. Watch out. He's not all he's cracked up to be!

sprint

Honk Honk!
Beep beep!
Boom boom!
Its madness!
"Move out of our way!"
It's what they all shout
While in their hurry to shove you aside and rush through life
Never take the time to think
Never take the time to stop
Breath
Never take the time to slow down and
fulfill the promises they've sworn
meet new people
try new things
or take the time to say "You know what, I'm here for you."
never take the time to enjoy life
never take the time to live out what they believe
every step they take
every mountain they climb
ends up in a sprint
to the other end
You don't have to rush through everything you do
so slow down
breath
take the time to think and ponder
to forgive and love
and to completely and faithfully serve the Lord :)

Her Big Brown Eyes

she approaches you with a welcoming smile

a warm heart

casual looks just like anyone else

she seems pleasant

some one you would want to get to know

you sit down with her

and suddenly her eyes meet yours

it melts your heart at this awe full sight

her eyes are beautiful and charming

loving in so many ways

they sparkle and show potential

but at the same time

these eyes are lost

ones that have had it all taken away

these eyes search for hope

these eyes search for grace

these eyes are consumed by the flesh

her big brown eyes are dark

her big brown eyes search you

to see if you are what she is looking for

“will you show me love?”

“will you give me hope?”

you stare into her eyes not knowing how to respond

for if you reach out your hand to help

you could risk your life

for if you tell her of God's love

there is a possibility for no tomorrow

you turn head but something draws you back towards them

God whispers to you

“This is what I have commanded you to do.”

“This is what I long for, this is what I desire.”

“For I will save this city

this country

and they will serve me forever more!

So go

for this is my mission in progress.

I love these people

they are my children.”

once more I lift my head up to see her eyes

her big brown eyes

that need the Lord.

God will conquer!

A dark cloud overshadows the land

eyes loose color and begin to search for something.....anything

lost hope

there's no going back

blood pours out as people cry and die after their attempts

at once all backs turn from God at the sight of this mess

their heads sink low at the smell of Satan winning

In the midst of the darkness

the sadness

a gentle hand reaches down and taps on their shoulders

encouragement

one by one they all arise to their feet

once again

attempt

a shimmering light peers in at the unsightly mess

to see it for what it really is

God deserves the worship of all these people

He will conquer!

the perfect groom

The Perfect Groom

her white gown gleams and sparkles

her eyes glitter

her heart races at the sound of the angles singing

the congregation rises at the opening of the doors

congratulating her on her new beginning

the groom awaits at the front

ring in hand

a ring of promise

a ring of truth

a sign of his purity and power

their hands join as she recites her vows

vows of commitment

vows of love

the groom then whispers into her ear

whispers of hope

whispers of joy

whispers of his unconditional love for her

the bride smiles and takes to heart her new start

she knows that

he will never leave her nor forsake her

he will love her and cherish her for eternity

their relationship will climb by mountains day by day

their love for one another will never fail

always and forever because

he is the perfect groom

you can't have me!

Boom! Boom!

Sounds of terror

sounds of horror

deafening noises seem to drag you their way

“come with us you won't be harmed”

their request turns to demand

“do what we say!”

they won't stop

every second you seem to be one step closer towards the

sounds of terror

sounds of horror

deafening noises seem to drag you their way

“thank you for joining us. Come. Let's have fun!”

soon enough

quicker than you think

you are making

sounds of terror

sounds of horror

deafening noises that drag innocent souls this way

you pull one more person in

you hair tattered

yourself torn

you think to yourself

what have I done?

The laughing and mocking begins as you walk the other direction

insults are thrown and flow just as the wind

what should I do?

What should I do?

Knock! Knock!

Loud and obnoxious

should I take it?

Should I open my door to let it in?

Should I embrace it?

Remembrance of your last mistake

you turn your head

No, I can't do it again

I will sit here

alone if I have to

I will walk the streets

I will look them in the eye and say

“You can't have me.”


is he the one?

Thump thump

my heart

beating and not knowing it

thump thump

the blood gathers in my head

there he is

as sweet as a lullaby

I can;t help but think

is he the one?

Should I extend my greeting

should I tell him my thoughts?

Confusion

he told me he enjoys my company

could that mean something?

Once again

confusion

but this time

an addition to the feeling enters

frustration

next he extends his greeting

should I take it?

Should I let him in?

Should I push him away and say “no thanks”

should I warmly greet him?

I think and ponder until one more question makes my decision

what does God want?




pitter-patter tear drops

Pitter patter

pitter patter

do you hear that?

Drip drop

drip drop

what causes such pester?

Slowly I lift my head as teardrops fall onto my cheeks

tears that have been shed that I have ignored

pain I have suffered but not taken one second to think

what has happened?

Why am I here?

Have I been abandoned or shaken?

Am I wounded?

I know for sure of one thing

it hurts

my eyes burn from the weeping

remembering my past

flashbacks consume

not letting me go

letting me know that I am nothing

I was left alone

flashes of lightening pass by me

grabbing my attention

shouting

screaming at me

who I am

they tell me

I am not forgotten

I am loved

by someone greater

by God

who knows all things

he wipes my tears and says

You are my child I will love you forever more”

girly tiffs

Okay, so you walking down the school halls, when suddenly, Jill from third period hops in front of you. She looks mad, and it seems as though she thinks you spread a rumor all around the school about her and Tony dating! You haven't done any such thing, and you're really confused! You immediately try to defend yourself and explain that you defiantly did not do that! She doesn't believe you as she storms off, promising she'll get you back. You're so confused about what just happened, and you certainly are afraid of what revenge Jill may have in store.
You.....

a. Quickly come up with someone to blame and run down the halls screaming, "I didn't do it! Jamie did!"
b. Avoid both her and Tony all day, telling all of your friends what a horrible person Jill is.
c. Take a deep breath in and say, "It's all gonna be okay. She can't do anything to me!"
What would you do?

Happy anniversary mom and dad!



Happy Anniversary Mom and

Dad!



They said their vows 18 years ago

And they’ve kept then for 18 years

If they can keep them this long

They’ve got forever to go!
