Shadows Slowly Lengthen

The sun longs for its distant bed, 

A cold hard place to rest its head, 

So the shadows slowly lengthen, 

Until the time the sun awakens.

This summer has so far been very long, full of twists and turns. 

Work has been, well, work, full of constantly changing schedules and long days. 

Transferring to a different college is almost completed.

 My sister is now engaged, and planning a fall wedding this year. 

I still have a trip ahead of me to see my grandmother, and this isn't mentioning the headache I'll get trying to figure out plane tickets for getting to college and mailing my stuff. 

But for tonight, I'll just claim the truth that God is good, and He doesn't put anything in my life that He hasn't prepared me for. 

Until next time. 

God Bless

Something Fun

The fae won't go into the sea, 

Where dragons and mermaids be. 

The elves wonder the distant shore, 

Telling of the others' folklore. 

Me, I sit here watching on, 

For this is all too much fun.

I am Ordinary

I am Ordinary.

Nothing special.

I'm overweight.

Quiet.

Short.

I am Ordinary.

I read books.

I write books.

I geek out over books.

I am Ordinary.

I waste time on the computer.

I wisely use the computer.

I dream away on the computer.

I am Ordinary.

I am quick to judge.

I am quick to ignore.

I am quick to grudge.

I am Ordinary.

But in Jesus Christ,

And by Jesus Christ,

And through Jesus Christ,

I am ExtraOrdinary

So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come; The old has gone, the new is here!

2 Corinthians 5:16-17
