So this is my brand new blog. A box of trinkets and treasures that will accumulate as I walk through life and encounter different things. Hopefully many thoughts will be put into words here and maybe inspire or at least make someone else think. I’m a student living in sunny South Africa, currently doing some missions work but hoping to go study at an university next year. I love the Lord Jesus Christ above all else and I truly want to reflect that through everything I write. He is my all and without Him I’d be lost.
Aah, writing… One thing I absolutely love is writing. Poetry, journaling, my prayers, anything I think about. Some people say it’s therapeutic. I don’t know. I tend to be very random, many times inspired by the amount of coffee I drink! Well, enough about me now. I’d like to end off with a poem I wrote a few months ago. I actually wrote it for one of my friends, but I trust it will speak to hearts.
Let go
Freedom in a drop of crimson
Chains shatter at your feet
Sometimes our own voice of reason
Can confuse us even more
Our hands have become accustomed
To holding onto hurt and chains
Strangely when we let it go
We find our hands can lift up high
Allow the crimson flow
To heal the scars you bear
For Love once hung upon a tree
Through His wounds you can be healed
Terrified heart, don’t be afraid
He’s pursuing you in love
By His plan you were made
Let go and rise above
~Me
