Enduring Promise

Enduring Promise

By Aimee R.M. Condon

Chasing rainbows, while raindrops hit my eyes
I can't see so clearly now
But I know that your love endures forever
So I'll continue on

Enduring promise it's a mystery
How you find me here on my knees
Crying out for a dream that seems so far
But its closer now


The trees are swaying in time with the wind
Can you here it whisper bidding you come
Please and dance with the maker creator of all things
Your very best friend

Lightning strikes and thunder breaks through the clouds
I can hear my heart beating faster now
But I know that you are here protecting me
So I will hide underneath your wing

Enduring promise it's a mystery
How you find me here on my knees
Crying out for a dream that seems so far
But it's closer now.

Ambition and dream.

"The very substance of ambition is merely the shadow of a dream." William Shakespeare.

I know that most of you reading this today should know who William Shakespeare is, so I will not go into depth on who he was. All that I will say is that he was probably one of the best poets, play writes, and story tellers of all time. Writings include things such as; Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, over 100 sonnets and wack load of other things.

This statement that he said is one that has inspired me and I hope that it does the same to you. Our ambition in life is found and fueled by the dream that ultimately makes our lives. Ambitious men have killed, experimented, loved, explored, read, and looked every where for the knowledge to complete their dream. The dream that life is better, that life is greater, then what is seen before them. Their dream is what truly embodies them but ambition was the action that was the cause of the dream. Why do we chase our dreams? To find what life is truly about. What so we miss out on when we lack ambition? Well I hate to say it but if you lack ambition you may miss out on your dream. Some times your shadow may not show but you know that it will return!

Be ambitious! Reach for the dream and remember to always think before you act.
Always keep in mind your friends and family never leave them behind.

Remembrance Day!

Lest we forget the charges held against those who have hurt us and who we have hurt. Lest we forget the strive for freedom that was at a cost, the highest cost that could ever be paid, ones own life. May we always remember, those who have gone before us to fight for the rights and love that we all behold. May we never forget, the love that was lost but the peace that was found in the midst of a bloody battle. May we never forget, all those men and women that sacrificed everything. Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers, Sons, Daughters, Aunts, and Uncles all alike have fought so that we can know a better world. Lest we forget, the grace that is found in the midst may we love and be loved, may we forgive and be forgiven, may we see the true peace that is in all that is here and around us. May we remember those that died but also those that lived to tell the story. Lest we forget... May we never forget, it will be a dark world if we ever forget those mistakes that have lead us to bloody battles. Remember that history is bound to repeat itself, but if we keep in mind the things that it has cost us we may never have to venture that way again. Don't live in the past, live in the present, don't forget the past but always look past it to the future. The past has nothing to offer other then a warning for next time you can not redo a day, when you live out a day, a minute, a second, its gone forever, but if you live in the past the future will pass you by and the present will become the past. Live now, Live for God.... But never forget the past the battles won, the battles lost, the love, the hurt, the peace, the war, the moments that where you feel like it should stand still, and the moments when you wish that time would move faster, joy, and sorrow... Lest we forget... May we never forget the goodness of God, and the grace that He has given to all of us. Never forget!

"Rhythm" (a Poem)

Rhythm

Drumming, drumming, the rhythm calls

To find a body to hold it's own

To move the soul, Awaken the spirit

The rhythm calls, awaiting some merit

Awaiting a chance to be free.

Rhythm screams to be known

When suddenly an echo begins rhyming back

He notices that deep within it's found

The rhythm seeks the source of the sound

To find that it is in everyone

Knocking, knocking, to be let out

To be expressed in a vibrant noise

Freedom, freedom, he crys out

Only to find in all this lies

The midst of a beautiful song,

That he is more free then anything.

All About Fall!!!

Well fall is finally here (its my favorite time of the year.) Its not because my Birthday, or because you can get a ton of candy but because it is the time of the year that God truly reavels himself through it all. Its that time of the year that the leaves change there colour and all around is bright and beautiful. So that brings me to the reason that I have decided to blog I was walking home from school the other day totally discouraged and thats when it hit me God is so great what am I doing being discouraged. I saw that he truly loved me he took time to make this world so beautiful so how mush more he made me beautiful. The whisper in the wind the sounds of the leaves under my feet the perfect scilence of a fall day. It was great God is great His rightousness fills this earth. there is so much that I could say about it. But I'm just going to summerize it in this simple challenge go and experence your own perfect fall day with the Lord that loves you more then anything. go and descover the love of the King of Kings. He will never let you down!!!!

Are you Willing

Esther said this amaizing statement, "If I must die then I am willing to die." (Esther 4:16) We need to die to ourselves to live for God we need to give Him all of us and not hold anything back. To say to Him if I must die then I am willing to die. willing to die for all that you stand for, to die for others freedom, to die for Your name. " If we are not willing to wake up in the morning and die to ourselves, perhaps we should ask ourselves whether or not we are really following Jesus." ( Blue Like Jazz) You know that this is so true, we must lay down all that we have to take up our cross and follow Him. If you are to afraid to offend someone for the Gospel then you are not willing to die for the Gospel! I you are not willing to offend someone for the name of Jesus then you are not willing to die for the name of Jesus! WE MUST DIE TO OURSELVES, we must put away our fear, our fleash, and our wanting to be approved by all people to advance the kingdom of God. Are you willing today to die for the name of Jesus? Will you get over yourself to advance the kingdom of God. Are you ready to do what He says and to praise His name not only in the good times but also the bad ones? Surrender all to Jesus! You need to wake up every morning and decide for that day that you are going to live and even die for the advance of the kingdom, you need to choose each day who you are going to serve. ARE YOU READY TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO GLORIFY THE NAME OF JESUS?

What is genius?

So I have found probibly the coolest qoute in the world today. It was written some time in the 1800's by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, my favorite poet of all time. She published her first book of poems when she was fourteen and wrote around 262 poems. the poems before congress (1860), all though written in her final years when her health was failing are said to have some of the most forceful and beautful lyrics. She later died in 1861 a year after her best poems were written.

Now that you have some backround on who Elizabeth Berret Browning is I will share with you the coolest quote that I have ever heard. " What is genius but the power of expressings a new individuality." This statment is so true because all those people that we say are genius' now a days, inventers, discoverers, teachers; they all by a sence of something different were driven to find out more about our universe. It was the individuals, those who did not go with the crowd, those who were different, they were the ones that are known for more now then those who were popualr in those days. It is those who know how to be themselves that truly discover what the universe is about, that find out what life is really about. It is those who have a grasp on who they are that are really open to adventure. That is why I would say that being different is cool. in other words be yourself that is what will truly distinguish you from those around you, those who came before you and those who will come after. Genius' are those who are individual!

So be your self! After all you never know who is whatching you!!!

Slow to Anger

"Slow to anger, and Quick to forgive."
You can take this sentence in many ways such as; be slow to become anger but when you become anger forgive right away, or possibly to hold in your anger and then when you are about to explode forgive. None of that is what I am trying to get at. So we are going to take this one step at a time.

When I say slow to anger I actually mean what is says. Instead of letting
your anger get the best of you and take over you should think it over what are you getting mad at. Is it a good reason and if it's not then think why is it bugging me. When you get to the bottom of what is making you mad you will see that you can take the next step to dealing with it, I will come to the next step in a bit. " He who is slow to anger is better then the mighty, and he who rules he spirit, than he who captures a city." Proverbs 16:32 (NAS)

Quick to forgive, what does it mean to be quick to forgive. Well
to be quick to forgive is the next step. When you have dealt with your anger forgiveness is the next step, or you will end up becoming bitter. To forgive someone who has offended you is not the easiest thing, infect it is actually pretty hard. To forgive is not forgetting and making what ever happened right it is just dealing with it on your end of the spectrum. Even if they don't accept your forgiveness or you never have the chance to tell them, it is giving it to God. You may not fell it right away but if you forgive in faith you will and it really does help deal with anger. I find that if you are quick to forgive you will be slow to anger. "Just let it go!"

Now I don't know if this made sense but I sure hope that it did and remember
be slow to anger and quick to forgive.

The Mystery of a Thunderstorm.

the mystery of a thunder storm
So I just got back from camp not to long ago and I was thinking of all the great things that happen out there. There was onw thing
that just stood out so clearly in my mind the fact that there were so many storms..... you know for people at camp they useally dread the fact that a storm was in the distance. For me it was exciting the storm was a beautiful site. as the sound of the thunder rolled through the clouds and the lightning flashed in the distance all I thought was "man God had to be really creative when he thought up that" It may bring a sign of destruction but it is truly a wonderful sight. so I was sitting there on the swing set playing a game with the children when I thought about it clearly. God made the thunder storm, which normally is a frightning sight for many, to be so beautiful so then we would marvel at the sight so then we would question. There has to be a God , that magninficent sight couldn't of happend per chance. The smell of the air after a thunderstom is nothing more the a generation of nitrogin but it is truly one of my favorite smells in the worl. well now you know what I think of a thunder storm, and maybe next time a thunder storm comes your way you should observe it.



Sencerly Yours,
