I wanna sing
High above the mountaintops

I wanna dance
All day long, don’t ever stop

I wanna run
Till I reach the sun

I wanna keep dreaming
I wanna have fun

I wanna inspire
I wanna touch souls

I wanna grow closer to God
I wanna know Jesus
His message unfold

I wanna love and be loved
Love God, myself, others, this world
Be transformed into a woman
No longer a girl

I wanna be a blessing
I wanna give
I wanna reach high
Touch the sky
I wanna live

Lord, help me to be
The woman you designed me to be

Toxic voices in my head
Burning its way through my soul
Until it’s dead

Poisonous words I hear them say
Stealing my joy from day to day

I wish there was someway
To get them out
I can hear them scream
I can hear them shout

“You suck”
“You’re no good”
“You have no worth”
Those liars fill me up with a mental curse

I wish I’d never let them in
These toxic voices roaming within
Within my mind
Within my soul
To my demise they will play a vital role

The Spirit of Christmas

                                

The spirit of Christmas

Can’t be bought from a store

Christmas spirit means so much more

It’s not found in the decorations or under the tree

The spirit of Christmas lives in the heart of you and me

Its love, kindness, generosity

Forgiveness, joy, quality time with friends and family

Its thankfulness and great appreciation

For what we have and good relations

The spirit of Christmas can’t be bought from a store

The Christmas spirit is a message to us from our heavenly Father

It means a whole lot more

The spirit of the season

Not only this season but every season

Already lives in the hearts of you and me

So let it out, set it free, and carry the spirit of Christmas

The love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ with you dayly

 

 

My Christmas Prayer

 

My Christmas prayer

For you is simply this

A life filled with God’s blessings

This is my Christmas wish

Happiness, Joy, Friendship, love

Modern day miracles right here on earth

Guidance, protection and grace from the Lord above

Great success in whatever you do

Prosperity, financial blessings, the best

I pray for you

May you have a Merry Christmas

The best you’ve ever had

Ring in the New Year

With an open heart

Welcome all good things

Dance and sing, praise, rejoice

Glory to God

For all the wonders this life brings

 

Merry Christmas

 

 

 

What is Proposition 8?

 

Wikipedia Definition:

 

 Proposition 8 is a California State ballot proposition that would amend the state Constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman. It would overturn a recent California Supreme Court decision that had recognized same-sex marriage in California as a fundamental right. The official ballot title language for Proposition 8 is “Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry.” The entirety of the text to be added to the constitution is: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”

The campaigns for and against Proposition 8 raised $35.8 million and $37.6 million, respectively, becoming the highest-funded campaign on any state ballot that day and surpassing every campaign in the country in spending except the presidential contest. The proponents argued for exclusively heterosexual marriage while claiming that failure to change the constitution would require changes to school curriculum and threaten church tax benefits. The opponents argued that eliminating the rights of any Californian and mandating that one group of people be treated differently from everyone else was unfair and wrong.

Yesterday was officially the final day of summer for 2008. I couldn’t ask for a better ending; this had to be one of the best days I have had in a very long time and not necessarily because of the grandeur of what I did or who I was with; so much as it was because a heavy weight has been lifted and it’s up to me to keep it off.

I believe in impossible dreams
I believe in miracles too
I believe you can accomplish anything
I believe in you
I believe the sky is the limit
I believe the stars are in your reach
I believe life’s what you make it
So learn, so you can teach

This is a book filled with poems I wrote all through the different phases of my teenage life. As an adolescent; from the time I realized I had a knack for poetic expression I dreamt of publishing my own poetry book and sharing my thoughts and words with the world.
I still dream of the day when someone would read something I wrote and say to me; those words encouraged, motivated, inspired me or that they did not know that someone else was experiencing what they were. Initially my dream was to be a fashion designer but when I realized I hate Clothing and Textiles and I am not so bad at the written word, my dream changed.
