i wrote a poem yesterday in Physics 2 instead of listening about refrigerators and the 2nd law of thermodynamics. it was just one of those days... hope you enjoy it. i'm actually a bit excited, because this is the first poem i've written since i can remember that i tried to make rhyme (though the meter/rhyme scheme turns out to be a little funky):
my words are not elaborate
to tell of what You've done
but now, i feel so inadequate,
my heart feels hard, it burns inside
and i try so hard, but i cannot hide
my fears flood back, my faith defied,
i cannot trust myself, nor pride,
is that really so unfortunate?
when You, oh Lord, Your love so strong
Your faithfulness steady when mine has gone,
You work all around and i fail to see.
i have fallen, but You keep coming back for me.
after all of this pain and agony,
i wonder how You could keep wanting me
i wonder how, Your love so free,
could be nailed to the cross by Your own creation,
and if You're still willing, i seek vindication,
i seek Your touch, to know You more,
this cry of loneliness i cannot ignore,
but now, to see You,
i am sure,
that joy i could not imagine.

i recently stumbled upon your blog and would like you to know that your entries encourage me. i can see a man struggling with the trials of this world and yet through every trial, you put your trust in God. a lot of people have the notion that Christians are these "robots" constantly programmed on happy (not saying that Christians aren't happy or that that's a bad thing), but people don't realize that they struggle all the same. your continued faith in God despite adversities is inspiring and shows that Christians are humans: the only difference is that they put their faith in an unseen, but awe-inspiring God
