"Friendship Poem"
Author Unknown
I wake up in the morning,
And can hardly wait to see
If I've received a mailing,
addressed from you to me.
I get my putter running
And much to my delight,
Your poems, jokes and other things
Come quickly into sight.
Please keep those emails coming,
They are so enjoyable you see
Funny things, friendly things
Those things you mail to me.
But most of all the fun of it,
Is knowing that they came.
From you my friend,
The one I need not name.
This is a test of the Emergency Friendship System
forward it (and to me too I hope)
....a Friend does most or all of these...
(A)ccepts you as you are
(B)elieves in "you"
(C)alls you just to say "HI"
(D)oesn't give up ! ! on you
(E)nvisions the whole of you (even the unfinished parts)
(F)orgives your mistakes
(G)ives unconditionally
(H)elps you
(I)nvites you over
(J)ust "be" with you
(K)eeps you close at heart
(L)oves you for who you are
(M)akes a difference in your life
(N)ever Judges
(O)ffer support
(P)icks you up
(Q)uiets your fears
(R)aises your spirits
(S)ays nice things about you
(T)ells you the truth when you need to hear it
(U)nd erstands you
(V)alues you
(W)alks beside you
(X)-plains thing you don't understand
(Y)ells when you won't listen and
(Z)aps you back to reality

"God Conquers All"
When your life is dark and empty
And your day turns into night
Just look up the Lord
And he will be your light.
When life's storms surround you
And you have no place to go
Remember the Lord's glory
And look to heaven's throne.
For God conquers all
If you heed his every call
He will catch you if you fall
Have no fears, my friend
For he's living again.
When the world comes crashing toward you
And you heart begins to break
Remember what He's given
And see Him face to face
If you go to His body
It's no longer there
But he'll come down to greet us all
On that meeting in the air.
For God conquers all
If you heed his every call
He will catch you if you fall
Have no fears, my friend
For he's living again
For Christ's living again

what is calling out to you? What has always called out to you, ever since you can remember?
Diluted. I really don't like that word. I've had a feeling that has been similar to that word. Perhaps it's actually just tired, just that point in the semester....but when I look back on my weeks, and the things that have fueled the fire in me, the things I have gotten really, ridiculously passionate about... are few and far between. I really do miss something. Something that's so deep in my heart and mind and something so precious that the busyness of life and the distractions of other things I'm thinking about have sort of...diluted it. My Dream.
are you pursuing your dream? do you remember your your dream? i did not ask if you have one; its already there. Do you know that your dreams come from God? They originate in Him, he planted them in you...he refines them. Although God is the creator and the refiner of your dream, he calls you to do something with it. Pursue it with unrelenting passion and dedication.
I'm still figuring out what exactly that dream thing is, but I know that it is whatever that thing is that is not diluted. That refuses to be thinned out and watered down with the rest of life. I must follow it. I must have one. I was created with one. The biggest thing that keeps me from pursueing my dreams is...me.
Pain, people, fears and everyday life choke out our dreams-they are dream killers- but in reality there is something greater behind our dreams not coming true: we often doubt whether our dream came from God, and we are missing the key ingrediant to the fulfillment of our dream: God is with us. Do you believe that God is with you? That God gave you a dream? That you are to pursue it? You must fight hard to keep your dream alive. God gave it to you, he wants you to explore it and go after it. You know the names and faces of people that you say are living out the reality that God was with them. You see it in their faces, you see it in their actions, you can almost smell the presence of God when you are around them.
This world needs Christians fully alive and free-Christians who relentlessly go after their dreams, who live their God-given dreams with open eyes.
Yes, it's me. I forgot. I do not trust. I let that which is mortal, that which is fleeting and temporary distract me and dicourage me from that which is my passion, my dream. Even though I'm not completely sure what it is yet, I hope I'm willing to follow even when it seems...abstract add vague, even when I'm tired and life seems the same.

Dear Child of Mine,
"Did you think that I didn't hear you when you cried out to Me in your time of need?
Truly, I did hear you.
If I hear the final cry of every sparrow that falls in death, would I not hear you?
"Did you wonder if I was listening when you prayed to Me for an answer to the troubles that weighed you down?
Indeed, I was listening.
If I listen intently for the very heartbeat of every baby conceived in the womb, would I not listen when that child prays? I listened, and I remember precisely the instant that your heart took it's first beat; the moment that you took your first gasping breath upon leaving the security of your mother's womb; the contented sigh of relief at your first belly full of warm milk. And, though you've grown up, I still listen for every word spoken in My direction.
"Do you think that I don't know when problems come into your life? I know everything there is to know about you! Even the very hairs of your head are numbered! I've watched you daily, from those first tentative steps and groping words to your very first love; and I was there, cheering you on, though you never knew it. "Did you think that I was unconcerned because you didn't receive an instantaneous answer to your prayer?
My dear child, I am more concerned for you than you will ever know. If I were not, would I have sent my son to earth in the flesh and allowed your kind to mock Him, spit on Him, beat Him, and nail Him up on a cross for all to see? He gave His life for You! He poured out His very life's blood in order to pay a price for your life, and to set you free.! Would I have done that if I was unconcerned?
"Or did you accept the devil's lie that I didn't even exist? Can you really believe his lies when the very magnitude and complexity of the universe bears witness to the unquestionable fact that they are My handiwork? When everything that you can see and not see is a work of My perfection, delicately balanced and timed, from the spiraling galaxies to the spinning atoms? Is it possible to comprehend such an intricate work and say,
"There is no God"?
"Take a good look at yourself!
You are the very epitome of My work!
You are My greatest creation!
A one-of-a-kind human being.
Of the seventy billion humans that have lived and walked this planet, there has been no other exactly like you. I created you perfect! I created you with a hundred million receptors in your eyes so that you could see the beauty around you; I created you with twenty-four thousand vibrating fibers in your inner ears to hear the softest whisper of the wind; I designed five hundred muscles, two hundred bones, and seven miles of nerve fibers, all wrapped in a renewable, nearly indestructible layer of skin and tissue. I gave you a heart that pulses hour after hour, day after day, thirty-six million beats a year, pumping blood through more than ninety-six thousand miles of veins and arteries to give your body life and keep it free of disease; and I gave you a brain that is the most complex organ in all of the universe, made up of one-hundred-trillion cells and crisscrossed with twenty-five billion nerve cells to help you retain the minutest memory; and I equipped your body with four million pain-sensitive structures, five hundred thousand touch detectors, and over two hundred thousand temperature detectors! And then, to top it all off, I gave you the ability to reason, to dream, to imagine, and to speak; things that no other of My creatures can do. And, as a final touch, after creating that magnificent body that you live in, I created the real you, the inner you, the spirit that I created in My likeness, and I breathed you into your body at the instant of birth. "And you were connected to Me then, but you never knew it. Deep inside of you you knew, because I planted that knowledge of Me there, but over the years you have allowed the things of the world to choke that knowledge out. In the beginning, however, you were perfect; My greatest creation; molded in My own image. Don't you find it really quite humorous, to think that some could adamantly believe that this all came about by chance or evolution?
Could such a masterpiece have come about simply by chance?
"If you can see the truth in this, then how can you think that I didn't
hear you?
"Behold, I am standing at your heart's door, knocking and asking entrance, but I will not force My will on you. Call to Me now and ask Me to come in; into your heart and your life. Call to Me, for I am listening and waiting even as you read this. I'm only a word away, and if you will invite Me in, I will come in and never will I leave you alone. Give Me your heart and your love and, as I live, saith the Lord, this day you shall be one with Me in Paradise."
Forever; Jesus

Angel87309 Dear Child of Mine, "Did you think that I didn't hear you when you cried out to Me in your time of need? Truly, I did hear you. If I hear the final cry of every sparrow that falls in death, would I not hear you? "Did you wonder if I was listening when you prayed to Me for an answer to the troubles that weighed you down? Indeed, I was listening. If I listen intently for the very heartbeat of every baby conceived in the womb, would I not listen when that child prays? I listened, and I remember precisely the instant that your heart took it's first beat; the moment that you took your first gasping breath upon leaving the security of your mother's womb; the contented sigh of relief at your first belly full of warm milk. And, though you've grown up, I still listen for every word spoken in My direction. "Do you think that I don't know when problems come into your life? I know everything there is to know about you! Even the very hairs of your head are numbered! I've watched you daily, from those first tentative steps and groping words to your very first love; and I was there, cheering you on, though you never knew it. "Did you think that I was unconcerned because you didn't receive an instantaneous answer to your prayer? My dear child, I am more concerned for you than you will ever know. If I were not, would I have sent my son to earth in the flesh and allowed your kind to mock Him, spit on Him, beat Him, and nail Him up on a cross for all to see? He gave His life for You! He poured out His very life's blood in order to pay a price for your life, and to set you free.! Would I have done that if I was unconcerned? "Or did you accept the devil's lie that I didn't even exist? Can you really believe his lies when the very magnitude and complexity of the universe bears witness to the unquestionable fact that they are My handiwork? When everything that you can see and not see is a work of My perfection, delicately balanced and timed, from the spiraling galaxies to the spinning atoms? Is it possible to comprehend such an intricate work and say, "There is no God"? "Take a good look at yourself! You are the very epitome of My work! You are My greatest creation! A one-of-a-kind human being. Of the seventy billion humans that have lived and walked this planet, there has been no other exactly like you. I created you perfect! I created you with a hundred million receptors in your eyes so that you could see the beauty around you; I created you with twenty-four thousand vibrating fibers in your inner ears to hear the softest whisper of the wind; I designed five hundred muscles, two hundred bones, and seven miles of nerve fibers, all wrapped in a renewable, nearly indestructible layer of skin and tissue.
