It was for me You
came to earth as a baby
for me You came and died
to have an eternal relationship
with me,
so I give You my love

*I am in love with You
I give You my all
take me and make into
all You want me to be*

My life is now Yours
take control
My heart is in Your hands
purify it
My name is in Your
book of life

*I am in love with You
I give You my all
take me and me into
all You want me to be*

I can't get it right
I cry at night
asking for help to cope
God answers and my heart fills with hope
as I see the light
coming closer
I know what I did was right

*just something I wrote back in April. Prolly not very good. lol*

I give You my life
say You have complete control
but then why am I taking over?

*if ya think about it, that short piece is true. So many of us try to give God absolute control, but we keep taking over. It's hard to give yourself over to God, and let Him have utter control of your life. I know!*

Part I:
Dark is your heart.
Shadows of evil.
Consuming your mind, your soul.

Every moment, falling.
Dwelling in deepening darkness.
Death’s curse upon you.

Another day, another hour.
Never failing, never ending.
Once more watching you die.

Taken by evil.
Unaware of Satan’s hold.
The heart of sorrow.

Hell’s curse.
Bent upon you.
Stealing your soul.

Part II:
Lost soul.
Come back home.
Hear Heaven calling.

Overcome darkness.

I had met a friend for lunch at Panera Bread one day in the middle of the week (their bread is so good!), and afterwards we browsed an accessories shop, where I bought a silver headband that looked elven, and a sparkly silver comb for my hair. Driving back, in the spring sun, I felt very full and satisfied. I try not to always have music on in my car. In fact, sometimes I’ll flick off the radio while driving, in the name of unadulterated reality, and then let the woods whooshing by, and the lake, and the salt-white road assault me instead. Pure world; without the extra stimuli.

Hi there! I have finished the first half of my story. WoooHOOO!!! :D It's always really helpful for me to hear new ideas and suggestions. So please give me any thoughts you might have... :]

1. Should I add any new characters?

2. Should I make any changes to the plot line?

3. Any new 'bad guys'?

4. Change of setting? (For example: desert, ocean...)

BIG QUESTION HERE:

5. *What should the name of this world be?*

[I originally began with Zion...but now I'm not so sure that I like it... I would especially like a name that has a meaning... :D]

Chapter 9

I stand under the sun, yet I’m cold as ice.
I walk on the flatlands, yet I stumble, unsure of my feet.
There is beauty all around me, yet I see only stones, broken branches, and crushed flowers.
The wind caresses the trees and water, yet it strikes me as an arrow.
Music plays in every height, yet it falls deaf on my ears.
Something is wrong with me, I say, shivering. Then, No. Something is wrong in me.
If a soul is a bird, then mine is an ostrich- running endlessly, always searching, never flying or finding.

I wanted to eat apple pie
The lack of it caused me to cry
I searched an I searched
And my heart gave a lurch
I wished I could find some of mine

The Baker’s son soon stole a pie
Not for you but for I
He flew through the vale
Until the crust had turned stale
For naught did he worthlessly fly

I ran into old Mother Hubbard
I asked her to look in her cupboard
Unfortunately
There was none there for me
So I walked off to ask of my brother
