Try, Try Again, and pray you don't see a train!

I ride a bike and fall off, so I get back on.
I bake cookies and burn them, so I try again.
I play the piano badly, so I practice more.
I go door knocking and get the door slammed in my face, so I try the next house.
I drive my car into a tree, so I call the insurance to get it fixed then go wreck another car. lol just kidding.
I paint my nails, and mess up, so I start again.
I get a rare blood disease, but I keep God first so that I will live.
The point of this little tale, is we will fall down sometimes, we will fail, but we must persevere, we must trudge on and try again. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel but pray it's not a train. :)

Suffocating Inside

Lost in my mind of confusion, suffocating inside. Looking for the answers I can't seem to find. Wondering in a valley of sadness, not even realizing I'm here. I know I'm suppose to be strong and follow the Lord. I'm doing the best I can as the storm pulls me into each different direction of it. I find myself in utter chaos, just swimming around and around. Then remembering I can't swim, so I start to drown. I'm drowning in my confusion calling out for help. Lord I will gladly bear any Cross you give to me, but just please give me the strength to overcome this pit. I know that somewhere I will touch the life of someone, and though I have to undergo this horrific illness, I pray it won't be too painful. Through my sufferings I bear, I wish I will find a cure so that some other poor soul may be spared the pain of this disease. My mind is set upon a cure, I can see it in my sights. I just can't quite grasp what it is just yet. But, I'm praying it will come to light. I'm determined to find a cure for this disease, I'm determined to find it in my lifetime!!!!!!!

I Know

Part of one of my grandfather's sermons, one of my favorite poems. It just puts everything together perfectly.

I know against that fortress wall the gates of hell will not prevail;
I know in whom I have believed and that his word shall never fail;
I know that he is able still, is strong to save and strong to keep,
And all that I commit to him is safe, though I may wake or sleep.

I know this spirit sword of truth, can pierce the cunning foe's device.
I know to ransom me from death, my Savior paid the utmost price.
I know my sins are all forgiven, since on the Cross my sins he bore.
And if his suffering I share, I'll share his glory evermore.

This World Is Not My Home

This world is not my home, I’m just passing through, my treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue. The Angels beckon me to Heaven open shore and I can’t feel at home in this world anymore. Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you, if Heaven’s not my home, oh Lord what will I do. The Angels beckon me to Heaven’s open door and I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.
Those are the words to one of the greatest gospel hymns. It tells me the writer was tired of this world, he was tired of living with people that didn’t understand him, that didn’t understand his mission in life, that didn’t understand his reason for being.
I feel like that writer. I’m tired, I’m tired of living in a world where people have sex before marriage and then look at me and say oh a 27 year old virgin? Whatever will we do with her? I’m tired of living among people whose sole purpose in life is to cause mayhem and destruction. I’m tired of living with friends and family members, who do not understand me, do not understand what I am trying to achieve for Christ, who do not understand my purpose here on earth. I am tired.
The writer has expressed a sense of frustration. A sense of longing for relief from beyond. He’s walked a road less traveled and others are staring at him in disbelief. There saying what’s wrong with him, why isn’t he like us. Why doesn’t he go to parties and stay out till all hours in the morning, then to come home stoned and half alive. Drugged by the very society that is trying to slowly kill him. No not kill him physically, kill him spiritually. Why can’t someone grow up in this world and be a good God fearing person without being looked on as weird or different. Why must the norm be partying and sex before marriage? Why can’t the norm be following Christ?
I say to you today, follow not the ways of this world, for the ways of this world are self destruction and death. A spiritual death that slowly eats away at your flesh, that slowly devours you from inside to out. Do not follow the path most traveled, only to wake up one morning and find the bride groom of Christ come to take all who are saved with him to Heaven and you are among those left behind. Do not follow a mere norm of those whose leader is Satan, Do not follow those whose God is there belly and end is destruction. Follow the one who came to this earth to live, breathe, and die on a cross so that you could be saved. To die in your, mine, our place. Follow the cross of Christ.

Songs I love

Some of my favorite songs of faith....

My all time favorite hymn.

Rock of Ages

Rock of Ages cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee, let the water and the blood from thy wounded side which flowed, be of sin the double cure save from wrath and make me pure.

Could my tears forever flow, could my zeal no languor know, these for sin could not atone, thou must save and thou alone. In my hand no price I bring, simply to thy cross I cling.

While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyes shall close in death, when I rise to worlds unknown and behold thee on thy throne. Rock of Ages cleft for me let me hide myself in thee.


This is my second favorite song, I don't know the name of it, I just remember singing it in the church youth choir years and years ago. And I only know 1 verse, there's 2, but I only know 1 and the chorus.


How many times do I go against your will, then you forgive me but yet I still. I turn around and do the things, the things I shouldn't do cause Lord I belong to you and I know, I know you will see me through. Lord I know I take advantage of your grace here in this Christian race, oh Lord I've sinned but your still calling my name.

Your calling my name ***this is sooo high that I can't even reach it and it's hard to sing. but it's pretty**


Your calling my name to come into your arms to be safe from fear and harm knowing this I still choose to go my way, but you, you still say you say that I am he, he who supplies your every need oh Lord I've sinned but your still calling my name.

And my next love is Good Ole Gospel Ship


I'm going to take a trip on the good old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky, I'm going to shout and sing until the Heavens ring and I'm bidding this world goodbye.

Oh I can scarcely wait I know I'll not be late for I'll spend my time in prayer when my ship comes in I'll leave this world of sin and go sailing through the air.

Oh I'm going to take a trip on the good old gospel ship, I'm going far beyond the sky. I'm going to shout and sing until the Heavens ring and I'm bidding this world goodbye.

If your ashamed of me you have no right to be for with Christ I am an heir, if too much fault you find you'll sure be left behind while I go sailing through the air.

Oh I'm going to take a trip on the good old gospel ship I'm going far beyond the sky. I'm going to shout and sing until the Heavens ring and I'm bidding this world goodbye.

Goodbye.
