School and a Poem

Yes, it's that time of year again... the time for me to buckle down and work hard on my five college classes that I'm taking. It's really hard for me to believe that it's already September and that the summer has already slipped away. My last summer as a teenager... I can hardly believe it.

Just yesterday, I was playing with my Barbie dolls

Had a momma who was there... to answer my childish calls

Just yesterday, I was learning how to read

Learning how to play nicely in word and in deed

Just yesterday, I was scared of the dark

Also was afraid of dogs that bark

Just yesterday, I accepted Jesus into my heart

Since then, we have never been apart

Just yesterday, I was looking forward to learning how to drive

Couldn't wait for my sixteenth birthday party to arrive

Just yesterday, I got baptized with my brother

Could have never asked to share it with another

Just yesterday, my eyes were red from tears

What unfolded before me were my darkest fears

Just yesterday, I watched my momma die

I can still see her smiling face, within my minds eye

Just yesterday, I was young and naive

Anything and everything, I did believe

Just yesterday, there were five around the dinner table

Now my family gets the "single parent" label

Just yesterday, all of this was real to me

My life: a painted tapestry

Just yesterday, I was dreaming up plans

To visit and have adventures in distant lands

Just yesterday, I thought it would last forever

My perfect life that nothing could sever

Just yesterday, my life was bought

At the hands of the master, I was wrought

Just yesterday, Jesus died for me

Up on that hill... the cross at Calvary

Just yesterday, Jesus whispered my name

And I quietly and obediently came

Just yesterday, Jesus forgave my sin

and set me free all over again

Just yesterday, I cried a tear

Because of everything that I've held so dear

Just yesterday, God put my past to rest

With the loving tender words "my plans for you, are always best."

Wow. Umm... I didn't know that I had a poem in me this morning. Haha... that was unexpected.

Anyways... I've just been thinking lately about how the time goes so fast. Before we can even blink, it's gone. God's been convicting me about spending my time more wisely lately.

Well... the whole POINT of this blog entry was just to give you all an update on what I've been up to. I've had a lot of homework, hence the lack of blog posting lately.

We spent the weekend in Wales and I must say... it was one of the most FUN times that we've ever had together as a family in my opinion. The four hour car ride over to Snowdonia was a lot of fun... and I even got some studying in! WOOHOO!

Okay, so now blogger is making me mad and won't do what I want with the pictures and messed up my spacing... and I have to go eat lunch and study... so I'm giving up and just posting this incredibly random blog post.

BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

I'm not insane... I promise.

Have a beautiful blessed day!
