My Thoughts: Lately, I’ve been seriously thinking about my personal life and how God see me. A few questions came to mind; how does everyone sees me? How do I see me? Am I any worth? I knew these answers, but yet, I didn’t. On March 24, there was a church activity about family history work. I thought it would be a yawn-feast. I took my IPad for something to do. While I was at the activity, I found a few cousins that are my friends through a church app. You say that I did enjoy it. From this fun activity, my cousin of my Ward came to help me with Indexing. Indexing is records for the Temple. Yours truly is doing Indexing now. I’ve been doing this for a week now. In a short time, I noticed that I’m more calmer and more understanding. Back to my questions about my life: how does everyone sees me? How do I see me? Am I any worth? Well, doing Temple Work (Indexing) makes me feel like I have worth, very important worth. I see myself as a Missionary for and to Him. I’m hoping everyone sees that I’m a daughter of God and just doing His Word.
My Spiritual Thoughts: He is not here, for He is Risen!
The News: No news.
Your Thoughts: We truly want your thoughts on this poem:
To the boy who tries so hard to be a man and keeps falling short of his own shortcomings over and over. Your problem is that nobody hates you more than you do. I know how worthless you feel, how you look in the mirror and hate what you see, you carry all kinds of crap you don’t have to. No one can save you because you don’t think you deserve to be saved, I mean how could you care so little about yourself. When’s the last time you watched a sunset without tears falling down from your eyes. Your eyes that show a different side from what the rest of the world seen. From what you see within your self. But you can’t see that, all you can see are all your failures and how many times you’ve fallen short to be the man you’ve so dearly dreamed of. No matter how hard you try it never seems to work, stop your demons from taking away what you can really be. Your story could be so much different if only you can see past the failures and mistakes, past all the bad and all the things that bring you sadness. Your story could be sung of a different tune if only.
Quotes of the Month: None
Poem of the Month:
Love
By-Amanda d. Petty
Sick, now heal,
Mute, now speak,
Blind, now see,
Deaf, now hear,
Lame, now walk,
Abnormal made normal.
Still.
Sweet blood rolls down on His body,
Imaginable pain He went through,
Nail prints in His hands, wrists, and feet,
Hanging, three days, for you and for me,
He laid in the cold, dark Tomb.
Raised.
Everyday people, like me,
Trying to obey His Commandments,
Temptations, He forgives us.
Sinning, He still love us,
Reading His voice,
Bless lives, He does.
Home.
Painless,
No Worries,
No sadness,
No sorrows,
Fearless.
Love.
Lyrics of the Month: Poetry has a plethora of styles, and our ultimate favorite is lyrics.
BEYOND THIS VALLEY!
Wreck less, wicked and selfish
Man in me.
Tempted, the mountain's foot
I see, for valley's nature would
Want me, but Calvary will would
Dare me to see the king beyond this valley that I need.
Oh Calvary's word that cleans
The world from Adams reap.
Valleys and mountains foot he does seat, but the saviours word
Upon the tree; it is finished beyond this valley for me!
Hell is found in me and fear withhold the real man I can be.
Tears around like a sea I see
To shackle her tides that lie on
My chick; for so wounded the land that lie in my inside I feel, how breathless is the ghost that makes my human? But there is a savior beyond this valley to reach.
Oh Calvary's word that cleans
The world from Adams reap,
Valleys and mountains foot he does seat, but the saviours word
Upon the tree; it is finished beyond this valley for me!
Riffles to my heart I fear,
Bibles in the temple for my rest,
The riches a man have, a fruitless
Effort to pass the eye of a camel.
The danger I see like a slugered in me to push the rugged road to my
Path to go, no dying me in the land beyond this valley!
Oh Calvary's word that cleans
The world from Adams reap,
Valleys and mountains foot he does seat, but the Saviour’s word
Upon the tree; it is finished beyond this valley for me!
DJ Iykem.
Want help: If you want to help with “Pretty Petty Poetry”, you can! We are looking for some volunteers to help with the desktop wallpapers and getting us clients. We can’t do everything by ourselves anymore, too stressful.
For New Pets: This is AMANDA’S idea to do this business. Everything you see is her alone with the help from God. This is a part of “Pretty Petty Poetry”. She has been studying English with the help from a professor, Nancy Lowe, from Weber State University, Utah, USA since October of 2011.
