Matthew's General Being

2005-05-09T10:46:00.000-07:00

This is for all my peeps in Ontario, since I won't be seeing you guys this summer. Work is going well although today I took the day off, as I feel pretty crappy and have lost my voice, I plan to work the rest of the week though. It is good to be able to see all my friends out here again, but I find that I am missing a lot of you guys out in Ontario already a lot! But summers fly by and I will be out there soon enough. I hope all of your doing well, feel free to leave a comment or email me to tell me how your doing, hopefully through email and phonecalls and blogging we can keep in touch! Take care!

Love Matthew

Almost there

So here I am at Lukes house on this fairly cloudy monday hanging out with my sister, this past year in Ontario has been amazing has I have made a lot of new friends and the friends I had before well I and them have definately grown stronger. I had an awesome year living on Kitty Murray with du boyz and I doubt we could ever get a better group than that.
Todays plans are to chill with my sister. Not sure if we will do anything since I am broke and she needs her money to buy a car, maybe we will go for a run. That's free right? This weekend was also a good time as I got to hang out with Rachel Pols and Liz and Joel. We had fun times hanging out at Pol's house and also going a stag and doe on saturday. Yesturday was enjoyable time at my aunts house as we said some goodbyes and ate some great food (Kristen Luke and I) I will be home tuesday and am very excited about it!

I will start writing poetry when I am home and I actually have nature around me to be inspiredd by! (sorry ontario)

Bye Ontario!

selfishness

2005-04-12T12:48:00.000-07:00

Today is a boring tuesday I just have finished up a part of my theatre project, and now I am at the school just writing. These past few days have just been absolutely gorgeous. I got to see my grandpa, and my aunt and Oncle and my sister and her boyfriend Luke this past weekend, it was really good time be able to hang out with everyone. I am going to write a poem about selfishness.

Selfishness is the way I live
Not much to others do I give
I look out for me, number one
I do whats exciting I do whats fun

I'll see anothers want and need
and watch from a distance while they bleed
I expect that things will be given to me
And if they aren't I become angry

Its time to put others ahead
Give to the poor make sure there fed
God gave us a command to love one another
To treat them as if, they were are brother

So here I am on this saturday afternoon hanging out in the computer lab. I was attempting to get some of my homework done, but found that I don;t have time as I have to leave for basketball soon. final FOUR! its sweet.

I d r i f t

Slowly I move towards

emptyness

breathing becomes voluntary
body lags
seeks to find
pitty
it does not suffice
seeks to find

Love
It does not answer
so it continues to drag on........ and on.......... and on............
until the anchor reaches oceans floor

2005-03-24T13:39:00.000-08:00

Here is a poem about of what happens when I get off site of what the Lord has in store for me.

I’m no good on my own
I always turn astray
I’m a sheep with a shepherd
I thought it more fun that way

I left behind a father
I left behind a soul
Now I’m stuck deep down
In this endless hole

I keep falling deeper
If only I was caught
If only I had listened
To the things I'd been taught

It gets colder deeper down
My body now is faint
In it residues
An awful sinful taint

I finally hit rock bottom
Darkness is all I see
Except for a spec of light
Where I came from originally

It's this light I long for
Since I've fallen down
I need a helping hand
Or in this well I'll drown

I've learned that selfish ways
will make me go astray
I can't face that fall again
So in the this light I'll stay

hello

2005-03-21T20:49:00.000-08:00

Here is a poem about Meaghan, and Jaimi two of my favourite people!

Girls From 14

Theres these two girls that I know
who both act very crazy
although productive they may seem
there both kind of lazy

Two words to describe them
is energetic and outgoing
always having fun
and there smiles always showing

There fun to be around
They can brighten any day
There smiles are contageous
It's their style its their way

To sum up meg and Jaimi
These few words come to mind
They're carasmatic and exuberent
Always loving, sweet and kind

Happy saint Patties day

2005-03-17T11:11:00.000-08:00

Happy saint patricks day! Today is a gorgeous thursday. It is also laundry day, so that is what I have been doing all this morning is attemtping to get all my laundry done! I have no classes which is really nice, I needed that today. I was going to help at Kidz club but I have a really important theatre meeting that I must attend! So I will have to go to taht next week. My sister Lynn arrived safely in Europe, Austria I think is where the plane landed! no word from my parents yet, they are probably having too much fun, to call. Oh well. Hope you all have a great day. Enjoy the poem.

Speaking truth, and praying, will lead me on my way
To stay upon the path, where I know I must stay
Growing and maturing, as further down I go
Hoping in the Lord, and trusting that I'll grow

Daily read the word, It's how will know God more
Trust his guiding hand, down the path that you explore
He is there to prosper, and lead you to his thrown
Trust him now and always, and you'll never walk alone

~ Matthew Groot ~

wow I haven't posted in awhile

2005-03-16T08:12:00.000-08:00

So its been like a week and I actually wrote a few poems between then but I haven't got around to posting anything due to fact that there is no internet up in our house. So my Parents left yesturday to go to Australia for 3 weeks or so, not going to lye I am fairly jealous of them, I mean australia! that is amazing! Also today my sister Lynn leaves for Europe with her Choir group at my old school Fraser Valley Christian. But I guess I am satisfied with living here in Ontario. I just acecd my enviro midterm so that was pretty sweet! its about time! I am not sure yet of what to write, oh wait I just searched my pockets and found one! yay.

Its called Obstacles

Stumbling down the path of life
I find things in my way
Things that make me fall from God
and that make me go astray

Its these things that seperate
and make him lose my trust
I want these to be washed away
or blown away as dust

I fight them almost everday
It makes me weary and tired
I can't grow faint and fall away
I must renew the fire

I need the fuel to keep these flames
They must ingnite my heart
To drive the blood within my veins
And keep me from the dark

Toronto Here I Come!

2005-03-10T09:30:00.000-08:00

I get to see my sis today this rocks!

Encouragement

I used to dream
I used to dream bigger
Dreams got crushed by reality
Reality bites

Dare to dream again
Dare to over come reality
Let nothing hold you down
Your greater than you think

Everyone has power
Its using it thats hard
But let the confidence over come
Show who you really are!

Dare to dream larger
Let no one bring you down
Aim for the moon!
Even if you miss you'll land among stars

~ Matthew Groot (The two lines at the end aren't original but they fit well) ~

Bonjour

2005-03-09T16:11:00.000-08:00

Christina is coming tomorrow ! I am very excited to see my sister who is flying in from BC, I some how have to get to toronto to see her and hang out with her, should be a blast! So that is what is awesome! So our dorm has become a charity case as we have no money to spend on food anymore. So one of the head ladies at the office Sharon Scottsman sent out an email to all the HA's that they have to invite us over for dinner! So our dorm is stoked about that. Anywyz I wrote this poem today in History class, its about summer!

Summer

Petals falling gently
Springs End is near
Leaves come in full
As summer time is here

Gentle winds draw close
Tips of mountains melt
Spring run offs raise the lakes
The rays now are felt!

Streets of laughter fill
Worries now on hold
Campers all packed up
Camp Fire stories Told!

Summer times so free!
Its just chilling with your friends
Making with them memories
Until the summer ends.

~ Matthew Groot ~

Monday Morning

2005-03-07T08:22:00.000-08:00

Today has been a good day, although I have only been up for a few hours, I was able to make it class on time and actually enjoy the material being covered in class! I decided to write now, because the rest of my day is looking to be quite busy. So I thought was about time I wrote a new poem. This one is going to be about fishing!

Cruising up and down the lake
Slowly trolling on
We've been here since 6 this morning
yet it doesn't feel that long

Desigated to our seats
which were picked when I was five
slowly the rod goes back and forth
as if it were alive

Up above the lake
An eagle it will glide
Searching for its prey below
with honor and with pride

Next I hear the call
of our friend upon the dollar
That gorgeous spotted loon
With its white band as its collar

There's so much more to fishing
Than bringing in a fish
Its enjoying God's creation
and the company your with

~ Matthew Groot ~

Oh sunday

2005-03-06T20:42:00.000-08:00

o.k heres an old poem I wrote about society. I think was like grade 11 material or something. Enjoy.

SOCIETY

I turn on my computer and what do I see
Naked pictures staring at me.
I ask for something else but what do I get
words that say steamy hot and wet.

A commercial for soap will turn our eye
when we see the chest of that girl or that Guy
We all know it's wrong and yet we all look
See how much our societies took.

It's taken the love, it's taken the beauty
And focused it on the bust and the booty
From the outside it looks fun and amusing
But take a look closer and see the abusing

Guys feel like they need money to impress
Girls think they need the perfect body and the prettiest dress.
Do minds count for nothing anymore
Can humor not cheer a heart that is sore ?

Bring back the love but make sure it's real
These our my thoughts, and that's how I feel.

No Title Please

2005-03-05T15:17:00.000-08:00

So today is a gorgeous saturday, and yet I have spent the majority of it sitting in front of the comptuer attemtpting to get a couple of my papers started, which I did, I got them started, not as far as I would have hoped, but sometimes the mind just doesn't always want to go! Last night I went to Heidi Bentum's brothers stag and Doe and had a lot of fun, Nan Nick Mark and I, had a real blast there. Dancing it up and eating cheap pizza hanging out with friends made for a good time. Tonight I think I plan to like watch a movie and call it an early night. I am not exactly sure what I am to write about today. I may just quote some lyrics from another song. This song just popped into my head, we used to sing it back in Church when I was just a youngen, I really like the words to this song.

The Coloring Song Words and music by Dave Eden

Red is the color of the blood that flowed
Down the face of Someone Who loved us so
He's the perfect man, He's the Lord's own son,
He's the Lamb of God, He's the only one
That can give us life, that can make us grow,
That can make the love between us flow.

Blue is the color of a heart so cold
It will not bend when the story's told
Of the love of God for a sinful race
Of the blood that flowed down Jesus face
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can keep our hearts from growing cold.

Gold is the color of the morning sun
That shines so freely an every one
It's the sun above that keeps us warm
It's the Son of love that calms the storm
That can give us life that can make us grow,
That can turn our mornings into gold.

Brown is the color of the autumn leaves
When the winter comes to the barren trees
There is birth, there is death, there is a plan
And there's just one God, and there's just one man
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can make our sins as white as snow

That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can turn our mornings into gold.
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can keep our hearts from growing cold.
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can make the love between us flow.

lil bit of time to write

2005-03-02T12:30:00.000-08:00

been a bit since I have blogged, but in recent, news I am all better, never really figured out what I had but oh well. So what is exciting, hmmm not too much, this week I may get to go out to a stag and doh this weekend which should be pretty fun for my friend Heidi bentums brothers engagement. and Orion is supposed to come down in a few weeks! and Christina has talked about coming down in march as well! March is an exciting month for my family, as there are a lot of birthdays and this year a lot of trips! Lynn is off to Europe my parents are off to Australia! and Christina is flying out here! So a lot of excitement going on this month! Hard to believe how fast things are going by. I think I may write a poem after tonight when, I have finished class then dinner then a project meeting, than another meeting, by then I should have time! Take care all, and stay healthy!

Wake up Right

When you wake up in morning what runs through your head
I need more sleep, or this day I'm gonna dread.
Instead wake up and there make a choice.
Are you gonna be mad, or you going to rejoice ?

that is the key to making good days great
throwing on a smile, and putting away all hate
People will start to wander, and ask the question why
You can use this opportunity to explain what you live by

So little a simple little choice can really change your day
It will change how you act and it will change what you say
So Tomorrow when you wake, think before you rise
Your day may just be a bit better, what a big surpise !

~ Matthew Groot

I hate hospitals

2005-02-25T23:00:00.000-08:00

So the last two days were good and bad, on wednesday peter finally arrived so that was sweet we had a lot of fun at crabby joes. That night was not so fun as I started to sweat, and then shiver, then have everything spinning on me. I didn't really sleep, so I went to the hospital, and after blood tests they said something was abnormal with my blood but they didn't know waht it was. That night me brouwer and Sarah watched "saw" it was good movie, I was too tired and sick to go to the ranch, althought that would have been fun. So today I went back for bloodtests and I also got a chest xray done. they said my blood was still abnormal but less then yesturday and nothing showed bad on the chest xray so I was sent home after a total of 8 and half hours in the hospital between the 2 days with no medication or nothing just told to drink plenty of fluids and to come in again if anything got worse. So that made for a great couple days. So what to write for poems today I think I will choose some lyrics from a band that I like too tired and drugged up to write one myself.

I have a song to sing Words can't express my love For You
And I will follow every pathway as You lead And I will climb on every mountain as You lead Oh to travel through the world for You I'll tell them all about You They will see You in me
They will see You in me Since You took my darkest part And gave Light
I pledge my life to You Oh this is so right

2005-02-22T14:47:00.000-08:00

Today is a snowy tuesday and I thought I would take sometime to say hello, I started working out today, and that went bad, I am sore and very tired, supposively brouwer is down right now, but he has failed to contact me yet! I have a night class in an hour at 7 pm and I dread it, cause I hate night classes. not sure what to write for a poem yet. maybe one about how sore I am.

I am very sore
my muscles I tore
I still look the same
it is quite a shame

but maybe in time
I'll look real fine
But for now
I'll look like a cow

I can't lift my arm
so I can't do no harm
too tired to write
that's all goodnight

Here I am on this really boring thursday home by myself as the guys are in NewYork and I am here by myself for volleyball :( But I have made the most of it by sleeping in, and avoiding homework and eating chicken fingers. This is a poem for my little nephew reuben.

To my little nephew

Reuben you’re a precious gift
That God has given to me
I believe that you are part of his plan
Although you’re a little young to see

I promise to love and do my best
Whenever you face troubles
I’ll walk with you in the park
And to teach you to blow bubbles

There’s so much I can learn from you
Even when your small
I learn again what it means to believe
That someone will catch me when I fall

You have so much life to live
I can’t wait to see you grow
Into a handsome boy
It’s a Groot trait to let you know

Its been awhile since I blogged

2005-02-11T11:40:00.000-08:00

This poem is for nick, because hes sitting beside me, and I love him, he is the coolest friend.

Nick you are a guy who I thinks is very nice
You always are so happy, and your head is free of Lice
I like to talk to you, because you make me laugh
I think its really funny when I pull hair off your calf

I think its very funny, when you fart when you sleep
Nan doesn't like it cause his eyes begin to weep
I'm glad you are my buddy I am glad you are my friend
will be best friends forever, because we have no one else but eacother but I am glad you are my brother, and were there for one another, ALL THE WAY TO THE END!

Love Matthew

2005-02-06T21:23:00.000-08:00

Wrote this poem yesturday just thought I would post it tonight, as tomorrow I will have no time to write. Check it out:

A place called heaven.

Silver, Gold and Crystal streams
A place where Love always teams
A place where sin has no place
Where a smile is upon each face

A place so perfect, One can't describe
Or even imagine the beauty inside
A place where most everyone wants to be
But few are predestined, and chosen to see

This is the place where we wait to go
But just wanting heaven is that rightfull so ?
We should be waiting to meet our creator
The one who has saved us and wants us to be there

What would you say ? What would you do?I
n front of the man that died for you
It would be hard to speak, to a man so Great
Resisting all sin, and fulfilling his fate

I look forward to heaven I look forward to see
The King almighty in all his Glory
To hear the trumpets to See Our King
To join with Saints and together all Sing

Glory Glory Hallelu
Thanks to be God who saved me and you
Glory Glory Exalt his name
To the King of the heavens be all Glory and Fame

Super Bowl 39!

2005-02-06T11:01:00.000-08:00

I hate the superbowl so I am not going to be watching that today, I am also too tired. I need to catch up on some seriously needed sleep. But before I head to bed at 2:00 pm I figured I should write a poem:

Encouargement to the Word

God gave us His Word, to be used for his Glory
To teach us and guide us in one unfolding story
I think often we forget the power of His Word
And often forget the messages we've heard

I write this to encourage those of us who forget
And who fall short of requirements that we have not met
We don't deserve this gift that God gives
But he gave it to us and through it we live

So lets make an effort to read and grow strong
We owe it to God who's loved us all along
Through his book we'll know our God more
And grow closer to Him, that's what his Words for.

~ Matthew Groot ~

2005-02-03T09:09:00.000-08:00

Today is a thursday, and I am off to volleyball, we play durham. I am too lazy to write a poem today I have written half of poems a lot yet, but have not got around to finishing them all of yet, maybe this weekend, will see. Anywyz Here is an old poem I wrote that I thought I would put on the site.

A love song to Jesus

humbly you came to a solemn earth below
Though the future you knew, you still chose to go
You had your followers, and though at first they were few
You taught them to teach others of the love that is you

Exalting your father, you died for man
Bearing our sins, as the sacrificed lamb
Little would know, the battle you won
As the living lamb, God's only son

You knew who I was before I was born
You knew when I would laugh you knew when i would mourn
My every thought, me deepest pain, your their to tend
This continual love to us, is not something we can comprehend

I mocked you at the cross, and Jesus you forgave
You took my sins, and erased them, when you arose from the grave
And now I stand in awe of the power that is you
Take my empty heart, fill and make me new

Boarding

2005-01-30T22:33:00.000-08:00

Today was a great day of snowboarding, I went to blew with a few peeps and rocked the slopes. Boarding seems to be my fancy of late. Me Markus and Dustin ripped in a few pretty insain runs. I have written in a day or two, thought I should try to write another poem as I took in some really good insights today from a book called "When God Whispers Your Name" by Max Lucado (I strongly recomend). He just talked about actually seeing God. It is something that is talked about here and there, but actually having a conversation and seeing him in heaven, just blew my mind to think about. So I decided to write a poem on my thoughts about it.

Seeing God

Moses did which most would dream
To see what most have not seen
To talk to God and hear him speak
To lead God's people when their weak

He even Got the chance to see
What we are told and believe to be
God himself, the father of all
He answered Moses' plead and call

Can you imagine being face to face
With the Father who's brought so much Grace
Who's healed your wounds, and calmed your fears
and been with you for all your years

To talk and laugh and walk with him
In a place that has no sin
Yet here on earth we're never satisfied
But when we see God that will all subside

We'll feel the awe and feel his Glory
We'll be able to put a face to the story
I look forward to that very Day
When I'm face to face and I'm am able to say

Lord I thank you for loving me
A sinner, who you gave a destiny
To be with you, to walk and roam
To be called your child, and brought back home

By Matthew Groot

p.s really think about it! It's AMAZING!

not sure of a good title yet

2005-01-28T23:37:00.000-08:00

Today was a eventfull day full of boring classes and lamer discussions. But that is alright cause I got to play volleyball so that was fun, even though we lost....again. Oh well life goes on. I decided to write a poem on love today so I am going corinthians to find some information.

Love

Love is patient, love is kind
It always has good intentions in mind
It always hopes and always perserveres
It knows when to joke and when to shed some tears

It never boasts and it never fails
It was shown to us by the nails
On the cross where she Jesus died
To forgive by Love, When crucified

Love is not self seeking love is not rude
It's the willingless to listen in the middle of a feud
Love is not easily angered love forgives the past
Love is a gift from God, that he designed forever to last

Love will always protect, and always trust
It fights through the hard times like it must
It's a feeling you know when it is there
Love will grow, with the power of prayer

By Matthew Groot

enjoy

Love

Spark

2005-01-26T20:55:00.000-08:00

Today was a gorgeously cold day at redeemer, filled of early classes, quizes and some good volleyball. Our vball team played at humber it was a pretty sweet time even though we lost 3 in a row. I am working on healthier life style as of this past week I guess, in mind and in physical being, tired of being sick in both. Craig led in some really good devotions yesturday about swearing and how our society has just let so much go, and how much it offends God when we take his name in Vain, just made me really think a lot about my own choice of words I use everyday. So here's a poem about the 3rd commandment

Slips

Everyone's done it, it's easy to do
I know I have done it and I'm sure you have too
The very mouth we use to praise Jesus our King
Is the same mouth where foul words we sing

Nothing hurts more than misusing his name
We know better and ought to be ashamed
This societies allowed for men to curse
We think its nothing but look at this verse

James three describes the tongue like a spark
It's small but powerfull and can leave a bad mark
God calls us to use our tongue to always honour him
Yet everyday we find ourselves committing the same sin

We can only pray for forgiveness and to have self control
To be slow with our tongues and know most of all
That God is forgiving, but we must be sincere
Though the rudder is small the whole ship it does stear (James 3:4)

Take a look at James 3 it is an amazing chapter about respecting the Lord's Name.

wusssup

2005-01-24T23:05:00.000-08:00

So today was o.k, lots of classes went our for a birthday tonight it was pretty fun, but I will grab a poem that I have wrote in the past and post it up here hope you guys like it:

Broken

Don't hurt me no more It's not really fair
My heart you tore Without a care
I promised to love you It wasn't enough
You know I was true Man life is tough
Black is my heart Just let me be
I Know I'm not smartBut there's still love in me

Welp thats all for today. (Kip) Peace out!

2005-01-21T13:40:00.000-08:00

Hello, today was such a cold day, I woke up to -30 weather with like a -43 wind chill not so fun. Last night I went to go play volleyball against sheridan. They weren't very good, but it was still fun. I got to play power, that was fairly embarassing but I still enjoyed it and I hope to get to play it again sometime soon. Today was a long boring day, thanks to having a 3 hour enviro lab. But tonight I plan to do something fun. Although I still have to find time to work on a project for Infotech, so that'll suck. I am rather too tired to write a poem right now so I will think I will just post an old one that I've written, it is called: "Simple Love"

Simple Love

When arrows fly from cupids bow
There are some things you ought to know
That respect and honesty will get you far
They show a person who you really are
be a friend, the best you can be
Then love will blossom perfectly
A kind of love that's deeper than most
One that you will be proud to boast
Maintaing this love is a tricky thing
There are some virtues that you must bring
A smile, and patience to name a few
Hold your love,show her your true
So cherish these words that this wiseman once said
"Once you've found love don't don't let it go dead"

~ Peace out ~

Internet

O.k so I am getting extremely tired of the internet not working at my house. The school makes these promises to us that they will have the internet up and running all the time and it always crashes, talk about frustration, arg. Well today is a beautiful thursday, beautiful for a few reasons, the number one reason being that the sun is just shing and it is gorgeous outside, it is also beautiful because I have no classes today :) I love days like that. I have decided to add and write a few more poems to this blog, although I am pretty sure that no one knows that this blog exists yet, but thats o.k I will have to send it to my grandma. The Poem I am writing today, is called "A reason for Everything".

A Reason For Everything

Discoveries I've made, have left me with some thought
Why certain things may happen, why certain things may not
I've always been taught, that for everything there's a reason
From why people die, to the changing of the season

I struggle to often see, Why God may let things be
When I know he has the power to make things better for me
Selfish are my thoughts, but I'm sure these thoughts are shared
But I know that God has reasons, but not knowing leaves me scared.

As humans we are limited, To see God's future plans
We are bound to sin, we don't hold the world in our hands
We must only know one thing, our God is in control
And he has reasons unknown, to save our inner souls

hello

well here I am again actually making it my blog, crazyness. I just got out of an interesting Environmental studies class, although I had a hard time getting up for that 10 oclock class. (pathetic I know) I have decided to try to write at least two poems a week, today I am just going to be putting a poem that I have wrote in the past, called Sunset. I have also decided today that I am going to start forcing myself to work out more and get in better shape I am tired of being a slug, my body doesn't physically show it too much, but I definately feel it out on the volleyball court or the squash courts. Welp that's all for now peeps, later.

Sunset

As days unfold, a pillaring light
Shines and glistens oh so bright
Heats the earth, and fills the skies
With majestic colours to our eyes.

Near the end of the day this pillar falls down
It brings an aura to all around
These colours become vivid and pretty
And reflect from ocean’s tide to towers in city

Shadows vanquish, darkness draws near
Round another corner the sun will appear
Clouds become victim, to sunlight rays
Colours that reflect over the large pacific waves

None can deny the beauty it shows
Its shared by all this fire that glows
God’s gift to man, to show them his might
That beautiful sunset, that magnificent sight.

So today, was a pretty lovely day full of boring classes, the only class I was looking forward to I had to leave early so that I could run home and grab my volleyball clothing, as I had practice at 11. I discovered blogging today, which is pretty neat. I decided to make this a place to share some things in my life as well as being able to share some poetry that I enjoy writing.

Here is a poem that I wrote not too long ago.

A love song to Jesus
humbly you came to a solemn earth below
Though the future you knew, you still chose to go
YOu had your followers, and though at first they were few
You taught them to teach others of the love that is you

Exalting your father, you died for man
Bearing our sins, as the sacrificed lamb
Little would know, the battle you won
As the living lamb, God's only son

You knew who I was before I was born
You knew when I would laugh you knew when i would mourn
My every thought, me deepest pain, your their to tend
This continual love to us, is not something we can comprehend

I mocked you at the cross, and Jesus you forgave
You took my sins, and erased them, when you arose from the grave
And now I stand in awe of the power that is you
Take my empty heart, fill and make me new

Sometimes I write poetry for fun, but mostly I write it when I have a feeling inside me that I have to get out, so that poem simply states how I feel towards my God, and how truely amazing his grace really is!

A meaning

Meaning of life passes in and out of my head
Wakes up with me in the morning and when I go to bed
Sitting in class, words will shoot pass my mind
As I think about what sort of meaning I should find

I hear talk of meaning in my devotions
And it will tag at my heart, and give me an emotion
I sit and I read, that everything is meaningless
Makes me wander what is meaningful in this abyss

There's a meaning that's meant to fill this empty heart
Seems every time I search for it, I'm right back at the start
Its hard to get it right, its harder to make it last
When I think to things I've done both present and the past

But I will press on, for God calls us to be his own
He's the only one I got, and I still seek to see his thrown
I'm tired of trying to find, I'm no good by myself
I know I need the truth, and its right there on my shelf.

It seems so very simple, he calls me everyday
Why don't I be a friend and listen to what he has to say
A God that IS love, has only good intentions
He created me and loves me, he sees no imperfections

So if I trust this love, the hole thats in my heart
Will burst out overflowing, and will want to take in part
In a universal Showing of Christ to every nation
And that God has won the battle, and is taking back his creation.

I wrote this poem now, just to express my frustations of lacking a meaning in my life, my frustation is more with myself, that I know that God is calling me home, and I don't listen, I think Christians often struggle with that, but when we see what God has truely done for our lives and are reminded through his word, the love that he has for us. We cannot help but fall back onto our heavenly father and thank him for what he has done for us.
