Simple Thoughts

My first time...

So, I thought I'd give this whole blogging thing a shot. I seem to like writing, I just don't know how interesting I'll be. But, you never know until you try, right?

So, aside from the constant woes of Organic Chemistry and trying to find time to sleep, things here at the fabulous Milwaukee School of Engineering go on without incident. Things don't really slow down around here. Sometimes it's exhilarating and other times it's just exhausting. It is only by the grace of God that I have found my niche here. Packing my bags from Stevens Point in September and heading here to explore a whole new realm of possibilities was a major step outside my usual "comfort zone." As always, though, my leap of faith was met with an enormous amount of confirmation. Each new person I met (love ya tons, Sarah Joy) was a new and unimaginable blessing. Every friendship is a testimony as to how faithful our Savior is to grant us what we need when we trust Him. Of course, I still have a piece of my heart in Stevens Point (XA-you guys rock!!) To sum all of that up, school's challenging, God's good, I LOVE MILWAUKEE!!!

So, another thing that came along with my move to the "big city" was a newfound passion for writing. Hopefully, through this blog, I can start to put my stuff out there. So, I'm pretty much going to use this for my "writing outlet." Thanks to my dear friend, Caleb, the words God gives me have already been put to music once. I love to sing, but I have no song writing ability whatsoever. If the words I write can be a song, praise God cause I love music. Okay, gotta work on the babbling factor...

I'm gonna end this post with the "song" I wrote for my sister, Melissa this Christmas (Hey babe, thanks for always being there!). I hope you enjoy the words, and if not, my condolences.

UNSAID
We walk beside each other
During the hardest of times
In the midst of pain and remorse
Always finding a smile
You are my support
There's comfort in your arms
Some things are left unsaid
But not a doubt in my heart
All of the passion, all of the faith
All of your talents and all of your strength
You make me see what I would never have seen
That all that's unsaid is all that you are to me
I have more years
That just fades as we grow
Mature beyond your time
Your confidence you show
In the way you carry yourself
And how you always seem to see
What drags me down
Without you, I would never be me
All of the wisdom, all of the grace
All of the sacrifices you make
You make me see what I would never have seen
That all that's unsaid is all that you are to me
How many times have words not been enough
To tell you how much you are loved
Nothing can ever compare
To this world that we always will share
With all of my knowledge and all of my days
All the experiences that comes with my age
You make me see what by grace I've received
Someone to share all that this life will give
And all that's unsaid will end up to be
What words can't express and that's all that you are to me
