It's good to be back!

Why hello again! It's been a while. Feels good to be back. I'm still shocked at the number of people that say they read my blog. I seriously just thought it was only my family and a few friends, (which gave them an opportunity to know what was going on with my life without actually having to have any sort of personal connection to me anymore), but lately they've had to rely on facebook.

Just FYI to all of you out there reading this, this is my official announcement that I will no longer be posting EVERYTHING I do on Twitter/Facebook/Blog. I will post of course, just not everything ;) If you want to know what's going on with me, you'll just have to ask. :) I'm doing this partly because I don't feel the need for the attention anymore, partly because I wan't my friends and family to be friends instead of just knowing what's going on in my life, and partly because I want to start devoting more time to myself in advancing in my faith and career.

Don't take this as me blaming you for anything, as I know I'm guilty of not seeking updates from you too, I just am getting kind of tired of people reading what I post and conversing with people OTHER than myself about what I post and then creating stories, conclusions and speculations based off of their interpretation, especially when there isn't even anyone that close to me that I share everything with that could verify or deny anything.

That being said, I'm going to be posting blog updates forr the reasons behind my facebook status updates as they pertain to religion and christianity. As some of you already know, I've been searching my heart lately, and I've come to some interesting conclusions. I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to post the FULL testimony in one post or if it's going to be broken up (as the only computer I have right now is my work computer and I DOOOO have to work). Stay tuned...

My first poem

I know it's been a REALLY long time since I've posted anything. There has been quite a few requests, which is odd, for me to get back on it! Don't get me wrong, there is PLENTY I have wanted to post about, just little conflicts both internally and externally that have kept me away from it. Oh and my home computer is broken, but that's only been the last week. Anyways, to kick this off, I'm posting a poem I wrote. Yes its a rhyming one, but that's what I felt like writing so deal with it! Oh boy...I anticipate a lot of explanation will need to occur after this!

An earnest act brings two together

Set before them unpleasant weather.

Hearts submerged in hope dilate

Growing closer, connection, fate.

Storm clouds filled with selfishness

Strike them both with what-ifs.

Chaotic confusion shakes the soil

Worlds divide with unsought turmoil.

A woman of faith, strong with desire

For a boy with none but the same deep fire.

He runs towards tranquility

Searching his soul for sanctity.

Above the blinding bewilderment

Awaits a love that’s legitimate.

The future of these two on hold

While the way, the truth, the life unfolds.
