I am very excited; this is my first blog entry on this website!! I am looking forward to sharing my thoughts, dreams, experiences, and inspirations with others. It is my hope that my words will be a blessing to others. I used to write another blog to keep family and friends updated when my husband was deployed to Iraq. However, since he has been home I have not updated it. I am really encouraged about this apostolic venue. I am currently pursuing a bachelors degree in English. As one can guess, when studying English there are endless writing assignments. When I could, I tried to include Jesus in my writings. For this first post, I would like to share a Shakespearean style Sonnet that I wrote about my son (Jake, he is 8) and God’s faithfulness. I pray that it is a blessing to you.

Ultimate Restoration

My son you are the happiness of life;
Smiling, laughing, absorbing each day.
Overlooking its flaws and complex strife;
Ever rejoicing, and not led astray.
Trusting, you commit with all of your heart;
Never forsaking who you truly are.
Ready to conquer and wisdom impart;
Exploring, learning life’s world near and far.
But when for a second life throws a curve;
Throws you off balance bringing fear and pain.
Broadcasting failures and faults undeserved;
Leaving your spirit desolate and slain.
Remember the one who brings forth healing;
Mistakes forgotten, His grace revealing.
