No More Pain

I don't know.
Only God knows where the story ends for me.
But I know where the story begins.
It's up to us to choose weather we win or lose.
And I choose to WIN!!!

Vengeance Was Ours


Okay, i Wrote this poem called "vengeance Was Ours" for a class i take called
We & They. We've been learning about the Weimar Republic and world war 2. And when the war was over, Germany agreed to pay all of the costs of the war, and to accept all of the blame. Germany reduced their army to about 1,000 soldiers. And during the war, submarines were used often and Germany didn't have any submarines. Things in Germany were really bad, and Germany had no money (they were broke). So even the sweetest people like grandma's who usually (yet stereotypically) bake cookies for their grandchildren and knit warm sweaters were stealing and lying and gambling for money. Also the education in schools during the war in Germany wasn't too good. They students were learning hate, discrimination, and racism; basically nothing that was teaching them any good. The money in Germany during the war was worth nothing; for example, you'd go to the corner store and pay 10,000,000 for a bag of chips. So what people did for fire was they'd burn their money instead of spend their life savings for 1 small block of wood that would barely fill their fire place. And as the soldiers were fighting, they thought they were winning. But their King was informed that they were actually losing and he didn't want the soldiers to know so what the king did after he found out was he
gave up the throne and fled the country and he ran because his country was losing. So in the end, Germany lost because America and Russia kicked their butts. lol. jp. BUT!!, during the war, the holocaust was going on as well. The German Nazi's were killing Jews and Gypsies and it was all kept secret; that's why it lasted so long. In this poem, I described what the German Nazi's did as the German's "vengeance" against America and Russia because they won the war, (I'm guessing that Germany wasn't too happy about that.) BUT, the reason that German Nazi's were only killing Jews and Gypsies was because they were racist. Adolf Hitler started the racist act, but everyone else followed so i don't think all the blame should be on Hitler (in my opinion). So basically, this is what the following poem is about. The poem is in Germany's perspective, so it's like the country of Germany is Speaking. Sorry for this VERY, VERY long explanation for a VERY, VERY short poem. lol But i guess it wouldn't hurt for people to know about this stuff. Anywho, I hope you guys enjoy!! :)


Vengeance Was Ours


I pay all costs.
Accept all blame.
Reduce my army.
No submarines.
Politicians cheat,
and they cheat on me.
Things got so bad, grandma became a lying thief.
Treaty of Versailles ruined my economy.
Stock markets crashed;
This is all just blasphemy.
Our children are learning just what our money is worth....Nothing!!
And as we're losing our war, our king is running.
People looking for food and homes, running frantic like a zoo.
But vengeance was ours
And now you see what we've done to you.

I Am From.....


I am from people singing "hallelujah"and"praise God".
I am from the taste of communion bread and promise rings.
I am from faith and victory.
I am from "love the Lord your God.
I am from the valley of the shadow of death.
I am from the altar and my bible.
I am from the Father, the son and the Holy spirit.
I am from encouraging and encouragement.
I am from Sunday church and Friday youth service.
I am from decons and deconesses.
I am from "Amen" and "Thanks to God".
I am from dying to self and living for God.
I am from cold baptizing waters.
I am from prayer and worship.
I am from the Ten commandments.
I am from overcoming.
I am from mercy and grace.
I am from sin and sorrow.
I am from joy and jubilee.
I am from preaching and teaching.
I am from religion vs. lifestyle.
I am from people asking in surprise,
"what did u just say??! I thought yo were a christian!"
I am from my calling to my own life plan.
I am from my calling to my own life plan.
I am from adoration's and devotions.
I am from humbled hearts.
I am from mistakes and failing.
I am from forgiveness and embrace.
I am from Jesus Christ.

You don't have to Hide anymore

"And if you feel like no one understands,
come to the one with scars on his hands.
Cause he knows where u are and where you've been.
His scars will heal you if you let him."

CHRISSA


As we met, we hadn't known how we would end up.
But love is selfless, giving more than it takes;
and it gave us it's whole self.
People say that art without an audience or purpose is powerless,
but we are art and we are power.
I love you always. :)))
You say "dancing is my air, and i live to breathe."
And we dance to music, right??
well, "music is my language" and I'll speak all day if that's what it takes....

I LOVE YOU........

I feel you.
I hear you.
I smell you.
I breathe you.
But all these layers are keeping me from you.
I try to push past them but they keep appearing.
I dont know what to do.
I try to use my own strength but the more i do, the farther away i feel your presence.
I stop for a moment and remember how to cry out, so i do,
I call for your name through all the layers of junk, and blindness, and deafness, and deceit.
And then you appear in front of me.
I feel you.
I hear you.
I smell you.
I breathe you.
Then i realize, calling out to you is all it took.....

US AGAINST THE WORLD

I'm so in love with you and i haven't even met you.
Your beautiful and i haven't even seen you.
I love everything about you but so far, i know nothing about you.
You are perfect to me.
You are my other half.
You are half of me and I am half of you.
We are in love but we haven't loved yet.
We are in our seperate worlds,

but we will soon be united,
and our love will be complete when i am in your arms and when your in mine.
Lets search for eachother, like a scavenger hunt,

and when we find eachother, our prize will be us,
together,
united,
connected,
us against the world.

Okay, i herd this song a while ago and I listened to the words and it really gave me a wake up call to what this world is really like. I want you guys to listen to it. And if you cant listen to it, I wrote the lyrics below for you. I think its called "who you represent"by Richie Righteous http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xOH2Xxwax8


WHO YOU REPRESENT~ by Richie Righteous
Ayo we represent God Who you represent!!? (x7)
Ayo we represent God

We represent God
Ayo we rep rep rep rep represent God.
Ayo we represent God
We represent God
Ayo we rep rep rep rep represent God.

you gotta keep a close eye on the people that you move with.
Everybody now a days be marching in the movement.
some ain't gon like what I'm saying in my song
cus they be marching for the right to do what is the wrong.
Abortion is a sin. Homosex is a sin.
And if you were born that way then you can be born again.
sometimes i really wonder if this world is listening
cus
we are not the same, i am a christian.
I rep the bible. Christ is what I'm into.
It should show if he has a relationship with you.
take up your cross. deny yourself and follow me.

If you are a man of God you cannot watch pornography.

You can't fornicate so throw away the condoms.

I don't care how much honey say she wants em.
Even when they not looking, rep him to the core,
Rep him in the public eye and behind closed doors.
Who you represent!!?(x8)

Ayo we represent God.

We represent God
Ayo we rep rep rep rep represent God.
Ayo we represent God
We represent God

Ayo we rep rep rep rep represent God.
now don't get me wrong,
I'm not tryna start a riot

But i do believe the church has been too quiet.

while the world is busy marching,
legalizing everything,

but what they really want to legalize is SIN.
same sex marriages.
Lemme just testify,
when you legalize that then here comes the pedifile.
End of polygamist. End of one who weed smoke.

Next you know you gon have to legalize................................$#^^%#&
Enduce birth abortion, you are anti life.
This is a lawless society who's anti-Christ.
God hates racism and he hates to see injustice,
The question that I'm asking is where are the churches???

They keep telling me 'learn to tolerate,' but when i say what i believe
then they tell me that it's hate,
but i love all sinners and i don't discriminate.
But when it comes to sin i refuse to participate.
Who you represent!!? (x8)
Ayo we represent God.
We represent God
Ayo we rep rep rep rep represent God.
Ayo we represent God.
We represent God.
Ayo we rep rep rep rep represent God.

Now come into my classroom, grab a chair, please sit.

A lot of things we think is cool God ain't really pleased with.
You think you get away with it because it's done in secret,

but you fool yourself because he always see's it.
I been bought with a price and yes i am lovin it.

God so loved the world that his only son.......................@*&%$^%&**&

On the cross, now I am under his government.
The rainbow's not a sign of gay pride but of a covenant.
This is not a hate speech, this is just a warning;
what you call a lifestyle God already called sin.
This world is impatient,they constantly racing.
I switched up my style to bring it to your generation.
Who need's salvation?, you are so unaware.
There's a God up above and he really do care.

But you built up a great wall around you like China,
your a perfect disaster.
Tell me, who's your designer??
Who you represent!!?(x8)
Ayo we represent God.
We represent God.
Ayo we rep rep rep rep represent God.
Ayo we represent God.
We represent God.

Ayo we rep rep rep rep represent God.
Now who you represent!!!!!!!?

"im a christian" by Maya Angelou

My brother showed me this really cool poem
by Maya Angelou. Its called "I'm a christian". It spoke to me.
Hopefully it speaks to you.


I'M A CHRISTIAN by Maya Angelou

When i say..."I'm a christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean living"
I'm whispering "i was lost,"
now I'm found and forgiven.

When i say..."I'm a christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that i stumble
and need CHRIST to be my guide.

When i say..."I'm a christian,"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and need HIS strength to carry on.

When i say..."I'm a christian,"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting i have failed
and need God to clean my mess.

When i say..."I'm a christian,"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are far too visible
but, God believes I'm worth it.

When i say..."I'm a christian,"
i still feel the sting of pain,
i have my share of heartaches
so i call upon his name.

When i say..."I'm a christian,"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace, somehow.
