Mi Hermana

Most of you that know me, know that I have an abundancy of brothers and sisters- all amazing in their own way. Well one of these sisters, Brooke, has a very natural gift at writing. She has written several pieces of poetry this year that have blown me away because they are so unbelievably good! Although I would NEVER admit that to her.....(: Anyways, this week she yet again amazed me with her talent and I thought I would share it with the blog world. So here it is, y'all! :

If you think you can do anything on your own: you can’t.
If you try to be a “good enough” person: you'll fail.
If you try to climb your way up to heaven with good deeds: you'll fall.
If you try as hard as you can to follow every rule, law, and order: you’ll mess up.
If you try to look like a wise, smart, knowledgeable person: you’ll make a fool out of yourself.
If you think you’re perfect: you're not.

Life: you fail, you fall, you mess up, you make a fool out of yourself, your wrong, and sometimes you just can’t.

You’ll hit rock bottom. You’ll be surrounded by darkness. You’ll think life is over. But it isn’t.
There is a light. There is a savior. There is truth. There is someone who longs for your love, someone who wants to defend you, protect you, teach you, give you life.


His name is God, His name is Lord,
His name is Most high, redeemer, holy, shield, unfailing love, rock, vindicator, savior.
His name is Jesus.

You can do anything through him.
You don’t have to be a “good enough” person for him
You don’t have to earn your way to heaven to him
You don’t have to be perfect.
Because he is.

Will you step out of darkness into his light?
Will you let him save you from the pit of destruction?
Will you accept life through him?

Next time you think you just can’t, your right, YOU cant, but HE can.


Will you surrender?
