Poem I Wrote In My Past

Here is a poem I wrote a year ago I think. It's not just a poem with words put together. It's my feelings, how I felt that time. This is also 25% what I feel like right now, the rest of 75% it's doing okay. Thought you would like to see what I write. So here it is.


~The Girl~
by: Teri Amber

A girl yes she was,
at least she thought so.
Or was she a ghost, invisible,
which nobody else could see.
Maybe that's why,
nobody noticed she was there.
Lonely, friendless and alone,
ghost was she?
She went on her way,
walking slowly, on with her life
Would she ever be broken that spell
that makes her a ghost, invisible that is.
Would she?

Writing Prompts, Topics for English Class

A while back, someone gave me very good advice, and said, “Be a number one you and not a number two someone else.” I have always remembered that advice I got, and it helped me throughout my life. Though, it has taken me a while to finally realize how it is so true and makes a lot of sense. For so many years I tried to be like my other friends and fit in this world. Trying to be not the person who I really want to be accepted by others. Until it finally hit me, I need to be myself and be the person I was created to be. If other people don’t like me for who I am, that is their issue, not mine. So, I believe it is very true, that we need to be ourselves rather than being like someone else. Have you ever thought about it really? Is it easier to be yourself or be someone else? Some of you might say, “oh yes, it is easier to be that other person, because you think you know how that person acts or what they would say.” I kid you not; it’s easier to be yourself, because you were born to be you. Yes, it might take time to figure out who you are, as a person, if you always tried to be somebody else. Got has created you, the person who he has made you to be; nobody else is like you. You can only be you; nobody else can be you. Yes, they can pretend to be you, but only you can be truly yourself, 100% you. Take snowflakes for an example, not a single one of them look the same way; they are unique and beautiful in their own ways. That is why it is always important to remember to be yourself, and be the person God beautifully made you to be. “Be a number one you, and not a number two someone else!”

Where I Am At (Part One)

Well, looking back upon my life, I wouldn't have seen myself where I am at today. The Lord is so gracious and good. It is true when James said in the Bible, Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trails of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." I believe if I didn't go through the things I did, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Also that because I persevered through some days when I wanted to quiet altogether, that it has made me a better person. I thank my heavenly Father for giving me the strength to get through these years. I am in my second semester of college, which is a miracle, seeing I wanted to quiet last semester. Things come harder and slower for me, that would be easy for other people. At the moment in my life I realize I need to step it up and take hold of my Walk with God and to pursue it. I lower myself to say, I haven't been in the Word as much as I want to be. To tell the truth I have put college first and God second. I know that is really sad. But that is going to change from here on out. Yes, I go to church, but being a Christian is much more then going to church and not saying bad words. We as Christians are called out to preach the Gospel, Help those in need, get into the Word one a regularly basics and fellowship with other believers and much more. We are the Church, if you take away "Ch ch", that will leave you with 'UR' and that's who we are. Where ever we go, that is where the church is. So, I want to become the person God has made to me, the Christian who isn't perfect, but wants to do the Lords calling. So I will include this part of my random thoughts about where I am at right now very soon. One thing I have left to say, please to whoever reads this, please keep me in your prayers. Pray that I will get up where I am at and RUN with the strength God will give me and have a passion I once had for my life, will come back and be burning even more. Thank you my fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ. Take care of yourself and May the Lord be with you and bless you throughout all of your days.

Thoughts from the Conference

I have to say the conference was so amazing and life changing. From the worship to the speakers and everything else. For me, God gave me a wake up call to not be selfish. That I really need to stop thinking what other people think about me and take a risk and step out in faith; if it's praying for someone or just saying hi to someone that is sitting alone. I always think what would others think of me, if I stepped out and took a risk. Then I realized that when Jesus was on this earth, He stepped out and did the stuff without worrying what others thought of Him. If I want to take up the cross, I should not be selfish and stop worrying. Jaeson Ma really hit it home, when he spoke. Through his teaching, God really opened my eyes and the stories he told was just 'wow factor'. That's what God taught me during the conference.
