Through the Darkness: Only the Beginning

Only the Beginning

Tomorrow starts the beginning of an adventure . . . another semester of college. This year I have decided to do my very best to stay full-time from now on, no matter what happens or how discouraged I get. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. This semester I am taking my last English class before all the other classes to complete my major will open up, which puts some pressure on me because I feel like I just have to pass this class so I can get on with achieving my goal, which is to get my degree. I really don't want to graduate too long from now. My classes include: English, History, Math, and Spanish. I know it's going to be really hard, but I have faith that I will make it through.

I am getting so excited and anxious about publishing my book of poetry. I am finally getting somewhere with it . . . I have 58 pages so far, which seems like a start to me. Last night I was trying to create my book cover, which is the picture above. Opinions on it would be greatly appreciated. I hope to publish within the next couple of years. Finding a good self-publishing company is going to be the hardest part for me. I have researched many companies online but it seems that with most I can find complaints or the word "scam". I am very paranoid about being used. I would be so distraught if someone took my money or even more my poetry, so I just need to find a company that I trust. I can't wait!!

The rainy Day

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;It rains, and the wind is never weary;The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,But at every gust the dead leaves fall,And the day is dark and dreary.My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;It rains, and the wind is never weary;My thoughts still cling to the mouldering past,But the hopes of the youth fall thick in the blast,And the days are dark and dreary.Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;Thy fate is the common fate of all,Into each life some rain must fall,Some days must be dark and dreary.~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The Lords Way

Isaiah 55:8-11~For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Wings as Eagles

Isaiah 40:28-31~Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.
