I'm Worshiping God Loud, My Way

AHHHHHH!!!! I absolutely love writing songs and poem in my spare time! Which, lately have been during some of my...ummm...uneventful classes. But I have come up with some that I REALLY love! So here is one that I wrote recently! and I'll be coming up with some more in the near future!

The window down
Wind in my hair
Blaring music from my stereo
My music is the best
Worship God loud
Is my way

People may give me ugly stares
But hey

I'm worshiping God loud
My way
I'm praising the Father
My way
You can look, you can stare
But you'll never get me to stop
Worshiping God loud
My way

Sitting in church, singing hymns
So slow, so quiet
Where is the dancing?
Where is the way we should be
Worshiping the Lord

I like my way
Of praising God

I'm worshiping God loud
My way
I'm praising the Father
My way
You can look, you can stare
But you'll never get me to stop
Worshiping God loud
My way

In class
Tapping my fingures on the desk
I want to jump up
Stand on the table
Declare the name of God
And worship HIM
Who sits on the throne

I'm worshiping God loud
My way
I'm praising the Father
My way
You can look, you can stare
But you'll never get me to stop
Worshiping God loud
My way

People stand up and let it be known
Worshiping God is not a shame
Stand up and let it be known
You're not afraid to let people know
You'll worship God loud
Your way

A Life Given, Then Cruelly Taken Away!

           You wouldn’t lock your new born child in a room to die, but believe it or not, many hospitals in the United States, do this every moment. In the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYRpIf2F9NA&feature=related, I watched a registered nurse, give her testimony of how she witnessed babies being born, but then taken to the soiled utility room, and left to die. Jill Stanik (from the video) says, “The soiled utility room is where the nursing staff takes our bio-hazardous material, our soiled linens, and it also has a urinal in it. That’s where nursing staff took these babies and left them to die.” Our countries’ doctors have found another cruel way of killing off children whom the parents don’t want.
           Whenever I hear the excitement of a five year old girl telling me, that she’s going to have a new baby sister or brother, my face lights up, and my heart is filled with joy. My family is very well informed about abortion, we are proud to say that we are all completely against it, down to my soon-to-be, fourteen year old brother. When the subject of abortion happens to come up, it seems that our entire mood, and voice levels completely change. From the gay laughter and teasing, to a seriousness and heart-filled pain. As we talk about many doctors that my dad has read about their testimonies of how they would kill the child still locked inside their mother’s wombs, it is so disheartening hear about the different ways of doing the deed. As this video unfolded before me, I was appalled, not just that our present President, Barrack Obama, wasn’t in disagreement to what is being done to our nation’s babies, but that our countries’ doctors had found another way to destroy more babies’ lives.
           Never had I heard about leaving babies, that had survived an internal abortion, out to die. Our nation’s people wouldn’t do this to their animals! Why does this give us the right to do this inhuman act towards our country’s children? Why do we, the people, allow our leader of our country to let this kind of cruelty happen? Coming right down to it, if we do nothing, say nothing, try nothing, we are just as guilty as the one’s who are performing this form of abortion.
           I, for one, will not go through life, and say nothing, I will scream at the top of my lungs, tell as many people as I can about this. And pray, if God willing, have our countries’ eyes opened and see the reality of what is happening. Our Heavenly Father should strike us down, for what we are letting happen, what we’re doing to all those precious beings. Strike us for we are letting men and women give, and cruelly take away lives.  
            
          

Tone Thesis of "I, Too, Sing America"

In the poem, "I, Too, Sing America," by Langston Hughes, the two tones of sadness and boldness are shown by his choice of words. Sadness is shown when the author says, "They send me to eat in the kitchen/ When company comes". When you read that the person is being forced to eat in the kitchen, you feel the sadness that is being portrayed. Boldness shines through when he says, "Tomorrow, I'll be at the table when company comes/ Nobody'll dare say to me 'Eat in the kitchen'" Seeing as the author is telling the audience what they will not do to him instead of asking or pleading.

Friends

Wow, the life of moving around, meeting new people, but mostly, leaving friends behind.
I was just talking to some of my friends from where I had last lived, and it was very hard not to start crying. The fact that I miss them, they miss me, I can't drive to see them, and I don't know when the next time I'll see them is. It's hard. Especially being a teenage girl and having such amazing friends as I have where I lived before. Yeah, sure it's great being able to talk to them on FaceBook, and txt them and such, but it doesn't do it justice. There's just that special thing about seeing them in person, being able to hug on them, giggle with them, ect. But I'm making friends at the new school that I'm going to. It's really cool. It's been bringing up new challenges in life, which is something that I know will add character....Buuuut...still...it's hard!
Here's to all my friends out there that I miss and love so dearly! Here's for the new friends that I will make someday in the future. Here's for my parents and relatives that believed in me to make new friends, and know that I will be able to keep in contact with the oldie friends. Here's my love and my thanks!
