Dear One and Only Truthful Love

Thank You for laying down Your life for me to have eternal life with You. And You didn't just lay down Your life, You rose again three days later.
All the stars in the sky, all the birds of the air, all the fish of the sea, all the sand grains of the land, all the rainbows after a storm, that's why any storm I have in my life is so small because You always turn a storm into beauty. All my storms turn into the beauty of rainbows and I thank You for that. Lord, thank You for waking me today and help me to live every breath of my life for You in growing in You and knowing You more. Jesus, I love you! (: I feel abundantly blessed.

Thanks for Your One and Only Truthful (unconditional, everlasting) love!

My Second Mommy

I miss her so much!
It finally hit me February of '10
Why was I so dumb
Why did I mistreat her
I love you Darla Jean Borgman Griffiths White.
Thanks for all our lovely memories where you were there for me! Thanks for being my friend. It's always said that a step mom is evil, but my step mom was my second mom and a dear friend to me and all my family. I miss you. I hope you like being in heaven, thanks for being the woman of God that you were. I love you! <3

Always be thankful for what you have because it can be ripped away in an instant. Live today like it's your last because this very breath I'm breathing could be my last. We never know, so let's be thankful and not take things for granted.

New Day One Way

The WAY is Jesus. Today is a new day. A new day to live for Him

This is certainly incomplete but I hope it helps some and feel the need to post what I have now.

Why?

People always ask this and feel its not answered. They ask it when its a situation they don't like. What about asking 'why am I so blessed?' when something good happens? Stop asking why for every bad thing if you can't ask it for EVERY happiness and joy in life. We won't always understand. Bad things happen to all people.

I love Jesus Christ, my Rock, my strong Tower!

Today Thursday November 4th 2010

I hope today is a good day. I need some sleep and know that giving it to God will be good and allow me to sleep some. Hopefully I can get something accomplished in balance today.
good night!

To My Precious Redeemer # 1

Dear Lord Jesus,
I love You! You are my one and only Savior! Let this be heard! I want to be with You for eternity! Will I be with You for eternity? Out of all my friends and family I will always love my Heavenly Father the most! I will always try to share Your word, because I am in love with You! How can You be so good to me? Especially when I doubt myself and You. Why do You give me unconditional love? I don't understand You but You are not for me to understand, just to obey! What sometimes I struggle with is I don't understand myself. I try to understand others and try helping them understand me. Will I ever have mutual understanding with another person of You? I understand myself a little bit, but I search to understand You more although I shouldn't. I want You by my side every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year of every decade and so on. I am crazy about You! I am a Jesus freak! Proud of You! What should I say or do to glorify Your name and shine in Your light at my peers? You are my only strength that will always be by my side. I love You and always will, because You have always been by my side since day one and will always stay by my side even when I am running You are right there running too. I desperately desire for the world of all nations to know Your great and glorious name!
In Jesus name,
Your princess HLW
Amen!

RE: What Faith Can Do by Kutless

Kutless, who has been a band since 2000, has a great attitude and likes great meaning in their songs. Kutless adds allusion to the Bible by talking about when Jesus walked on water and how He performs miracles still today. Kutless’ song “What Faith Can Do” is very poetic because it has many literary devices.  Kutless is a very poetic band. They like to use hyperbole, alliteration, imagery, similes, and symbolism.  The song “What Faith Can Do” is very catchy because of its poetic elements. The poetic elements of “What Faith Can Do” help it do draw people into faith. It helps people to want to know more about faith.

The symbolism in “What Faith Can Do” is a very important element. It shows how people are scared to take a step in faith because faith is believing without seeing. A good example of this in the song is when it says, “Everybody’s scared to death when they decide to take that step out on to the water.”  The fear of not knowing what truth is can only be healed by God, which is  a good note of what faith can do.The only way you can walk on water is if you have faith in God that you will not sink to the bottom. In the Bible it talks about when Jesus walked on water 3 different times. Verses included are Matthew chapter 14:21-23, Mark chapter 6:44-46. Also the whole  Chapter of John 6 talks about when Jesus walked on water. It shows that we too can do things Christ did if only we have faith in the father like He did.

The imagery in this song is beautiful. “Don’t you give up now, the sun will soon be shining, you gotta face the clouds to find the silver lining,” says Jon-Micah Sumrall. To me those lyrics perfectly paint a sunset in my head. But this sunset isn’t just any sunset, it’s a sunset after a storm. This sunset has the clouds in it and the sun setting to the bottom of the clouds and just shining through.

The hyperbole in this song is strong.  “I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains,” sings Jon-Micah Sumrall and it shows just how strong faith can be but it’s a bit exaggerated.  A dream itself can’t really move the mountains, you can dream that the mountains have been moved, but for mountains to move the need forces. You yourself can’t really move the mountains and certainly your dreams can’t do it either but its kind of a metaphor to show that some people have extremely strong faith and it helps those people through their lives.

Kutless does an amazing job at portraying that anything is possible through God alone, through having the great poetic elements that they have in their song “What Faith Can Do.”   The vocals add sincerity and the instrumentals add an uplifting joy that can move you to be more faithful. They know greatly how to portray “What Faith Can Do” through hyperbole, imagery, and symbolism.
