What to Do?

What do you do when you love someone in a way that you want to protect them with every ounce of your being, but you know that there is nothing you can do? When they are just out of reach, they're too far gone, or they just won't let you in, what do you do? Pray hard for them. Check. Talk to them until you're blue in the face. Check. Reason with them, cry with them, listen to them, care for them....check, check, check, check. Let them go and trust God to take care of them? What? Really? I know God is in control. I know He loves them more than I do. I know He has a plan that I know not of. But let them go? How do you do that and still be there for them and love them unconditionally? It's like trying to keep a fire going with out a flame. It's like trying to keep a marriage going without love. You can't, can you? Please, if there is a way, tell me how.

Oh, But For Grace

Here's a little song I wrote, go on and read it note for note.....Tell me what you think! Thanks!


Lamb of God, slain for sin

Upon the cross, you died for men

To take away our guilt and shame

To make us free, you rose again



Oh, but for grace, where would I be?

A sinner lost, but now I’m free!

No longer bound by hell’s cold chains

Christ bridged the gap, and made a way



A child of God, now I am

I take my cross and follow Him

Mercy broke the grip of sin

Now I’m free to live again!



Oh, but for grace, where would I be?

A sinner lost, but now I’m free!

No longer bound by hell’s cold chains

Christ bridged the gap, and made a way

Praise God!

As I sit in this quiet moment and reflect on the message of God’s holiness and His sovereignty that chose me for His glory and salvation, I am taken over by humility and gratitude to such a marvelous God. He chose me before creation to receive the redemption provided by the blood of Christ his son. He knit me together and invested Himself in me to ultimately bring Him glory. This glory is not dependent on my obedience or any good work, but is automatic of all his creation, for that is its design. Humankind began as a friend of God, but due to our rebellion, we became His enemies. However, He foreknew each of us and had preordained a few to become holy as He is holy. He set aside those chosen few for the building of His Kingdom. Our reward for accepting His choice is communion with our creator and Savior. From this, we also derive a peace that the world knows not of and a hope for a future of eternal bliss that, for the world, does not exist. I am humbled by this divine plan to redeem such a wretched soul. I am overwhelmed by gratitude for this amazing grace and awesome love that can wash me clean and make me whole. The God of Heaven and Earth, who is so holy that eyes cannot see and allow the body to live, has looked down on mankind, pointed me out from among a multitude of sinners and saints and declared me His. He chose me, full of sin and every evil desire, doomed for an eternal hell where one can never die despite the torment in your soul, undeserving of anything less. He picked me up and covered me with His love and costly salvation and deemed me worthy. Humility and gratitude are mere human terms that cannot even begin to describe the emotion in my soul for such a God as this! Praise and Glory to our God forever more! Amen!

Let me begin by introducing myself.... My name is Kesha. I am a typical woman: sometimes I am nothing but simple, and other times I am more complex than Physics to a first grader. I will ask a question and answer it in the same breath. I over analyze other's body language and their words. I am naturally a pessimist, but strive to see the good in everything and everyone. My thoughts are random and usually sound more sane before they come out of my mouth. I am a mother of two and a wife of one. I am all for Jesus, but none for religion. I like to eat sauces by themselves, such as Ranch dressing, A1 sauce, Arby's sauce, etc. The only soft drinks I like are Root Beer and Sprite. I love pepperoni pizza, mild cheddar cheese, Mayfield Extreme Moosetracks ice cream, and Claussen dill pickles. And no, I am not pregnant. I like to write songs, poems, and short stories. I like to paint, draw, and make various crafty gifts. I love uniqueness. I am drawn towards it. I am all about what is true, pure, just, and humble. I love my family more than anything else in this world. I thrive on order, tranquility, and deep (meaningful) conversation. I love a new adventure or challenge. I adjust to change rather well. I'd rather serve others and know that I have made a difference for the good than have a high-paying career where the only rewards are money and status. When I leave this world, I deeply desire to leave behind a legacy of love, faith, and passion. I don't want my life to be wasted on me. I want to spend my life honoring Jesus, encouraging and loving others, and making a positive change where I can. This is me. Welcome to my world. I hope you come back soon!
