No One Else.

Once upon a time a high school girl wrote this poem. She entered it at the ACE school convention & actually received a ribbon. She was quite nervous, for although she enjoys writing, her writing skills lack as far as perfect grammer are concerned. Not to mention, she felt quite vulnerable in being judged, but it all worked out. She still writes today, though sometimes she misses what she had then when she wrote.
    Now once again reading over the words, she realized that even though at a much different place in her journey. A place where she's wondering if her relationship with Christ really will once again be as strong & sweet, she still can't deny the truth of the words she wrote back then. For nothing can separate her from His love. That (even in the midst of all the other things she's struggling with to know) she knows still is just a true today as it was then. & she is so thankful for that love. A love that many a times overwhelms her & she has a hard time daring to believe that it really is true, but deep down inside she knows it is. A love she knows she doesn't deserve, yet is so freely lavished on her. A love that is freely given to & lavished on you too. Embrace it, dance in it.. allow Jesus to show you what love really is.

No One Else

No one else means so much to me,

Loves me more than anyone.

No one else gave His life for me,

It was God's only Son.

No one else can bring me joy,

Quite like He does,

No one else can give me peace,

Except the Great I Am, & I Was.

No one else always walks with me,

Through the darkest night.

No one else always holds my hand,

Shelters me in His arms safe & tight.

No one else carries me through the hard times,

And makes me strong when I am weak.

No one else makes my heart sing,

Shows me how to be gentle & meek.

No one else saved me from sin,

Gave me life and set me free.

No one else can change my heart,

Let it feel true liberty.

No one else can give me hope,

Paint beautiful sunsets in the sky.

No one else can deliver me,

Knows the answers to my why's.

No one else but JESUS,

Forgives and forgets my sins.

No one else can cleanse my life,

Make me whole & pure within.

                                      dedicated to: the One who never left my side.

                                

                                         Some sunshine for your day... cause photo shoots with a friend & her dog are happy memories made indeed. 😊  NC & it's dear people may just have made their way into my heart. Random fact: I don't even like dogs that much. 😮 Though I must admit they make great photo props & really are wonderufl creatures (just not my favorite).

til next time,  God's southern girl.
