2 Timothy 4:7-8

Hi! Sorry it's been so long. So, I was reading in the New Testament this morning and I came across this scripture: 2 Timothy 4:7-8. I had read it before and thought to myself that it would make a great basis for a poem. So, I wrote a poem based on it of course. This could be the beginning of a new series of poems! Anyway, here it is:

I have fought a good fight.
I have finished my course.
I ride back from the battle
on a valiant horse.
At times we were weakened
as I doubted the strength.
I, at times, was disheartened
by the look of the lengths;
the lengths of the grounds,
of the mountain terrain.
Yet I knew I could reach it
-the land where he reigns.
Now I ride through the gates
at the end of my course.
I ride on the strength
and the life of my horse.
And he waits at his throne
and I kneel once more
-and this time I know
I had opened that door.
      -The door of my heart
      -that allowed him to pay
He
      -the Prince of the Kingdom
      -the King of my days.
Without him.
Alone.
I could never afford
this shield of truth,
this virtuous sword.
And now, at the line;
at the mark of the end
is the crown that is his:
My Brother.
My Friend.
He smiles at my service
he remembers the tears.
No longer in question,
I'm cleansed of my fears.
Righteous and loyal
by His voice I was led
to the gates of his kingdom
where he crowns my bowed head.

Prom 2013

Hey! :) I don't have a lot of time right now. But, all I've got to say is that Prom at the Aquarium of the Pacific was pretty awesome last Friday. We went on the Harbor cruise, got pictures, got a caricature..... that was super weird so I won't even post a picture of it....., touched sharks and sting rays and danced like crazies with a billion people closing us in. It was getting pretty fluffing hot in there.... Anyway we also had tacos for dinner, cookies and..... CANDY! :D It was bomb. I fell asleep on Tyler's shoulder on the bus ride home. I was soooo tired. We get off the bus and this girl is yelling out of a car window "After party at my house! Come! It's gunna be awesome!....... Seriously guys.... I'm serious...guys you should come I'm being serious right now." We all just looked at her like "Dude it's almost 2am" as we were falling asleep. I wonder if anyone showed up........
ANYWAY! Here's some pics of Tyler and I before Prom at the park and then at the church about to get on the bus. :) There's also some with Erika my BFFAEAE and her date, my broskio, Logan.

 This corsage was fluffing HUGE! But it was beautiful so it's okay. :)

 Sorry that I'm conceded but this picture is perfection.... Until I look at it too long and start judging it... but still the set up and lighting and everything is so perfect!

 Mhmmmm... celebs fosho

 gotta love photo bombers.......

 This picture set-up was my Mom's idea. ^She let me know it about a zillion times. She is quite modest about her creative ideas........

 He looks like a spy or something... haha

Okay I apologize for his weird face. This picture totally would've been in a frame in a millisecond if he wasn't making this face.... it's. so. weird.

 

If I get some more pics, I'll post them. :) Bye for nowwwwww! :D Have a beautiful life beautiful people who I don't know and are looking at my blog!
