The Start!

"I am a lone reed
Standing tall
Waving boldy
In the corrupt sands of commerce..."

Tomorrow isn't mine
This year isn't for me
My life is in another's hands.
I realized this year working at Lakeside that the days I have are not mine, they are the Lords, and I am his to use. Nothing I do should be for me, and as I step out into this new journey, I want the Lord to use me for his work. Of course, I'll be working hard, earning good grades (hopefully), and focusing on the tasks ahead, but I will be going out knowing there are lost people where I am. I want to be an influencer for the people. I will not be going to this school for my benefit, but to truly stand out in the academic sands and wave boldy the fact that I care for the other students, the teachers, and the workers, more than for furthering myself, because the Lord cares more for their hearts.
Pray for this year.
Pray for their hearts.

Here is a small poem...

For there is too much to be said if I said it all:

"Oh,The feeling of New."

My life is like spring and shoes without scuffs.
It's like a blank canvas. It's a blossoming love.
My life is a flower, barely clearing the earth.
And I grow in the Lord, knowing life's worth.
