So I was feeling all sorts of confusion today and decided to sit myself down and get all of it out the only way I know how... I wrote. I grabbed my pencil and didn't get up until everything I was feeling was in my journal. I turned on my ipod and began writing.
It's very raw and self explanatory, but it felt so good get it all out. I need to do that more often.
[vent] I think Christians really need to stop trying to one-up each other by using obscure names of God/Jesus. Seriously, no one cares if the coptic christians called God the father "Gupa-Nupa" in 300 A.D. Language is language is language. [/vent]
P.S. This isn't directed to anyone on the board.
I Wish:
I wish that I would live like a better Christian
I wish that we could stop sinnin
I wish that we'd all be ambassadors
And that wonder of God would be coming out of our front doors
I wish that all we'd do is spread the love of our truly great Father up above
And I wish that no one would have to struggle
And that we'd know we'll never drown in our puddles
Wishes can come true, though not all do
But this world would be a much better place if those who follow You did what we were supposed to.
Thank you Lord for surprising me by keeping me calm when I could have really lost it and shouted at people. I know I don't have it in me to be as calm as that.
Your picture made me think of this I saw earlier today on face book..
Speaking about poems, it reminds me of a funny and cute poem nominted by the UN as the best poem for 2006 which was written by an African kid. It brings us to some realizations on the idea of calling the Westerners as "colored"
When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black
And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray
And you calling me colored ??
