Out Of Hiding: A Poem

I don't want to expose myself, I'll be too open.

Out Of Hiding: A Poem

Your arms opened wide is tempting acceptance is the underlying tone

I hear the message clear a day saying come home

My son and shame plasters on a cross

Knowing to gain my soul you had to suffer such a great loss

You made it easy to love you because you're good

You took my debt continuing to stand in the place I should

I know you sacrifice is great but these walls feel so much greater you're always standing firm but it's me I constantly waiver

You should've given up on me a long time ago but your grace shines through my imperfections and mercy you always show

I don't deserve it

So I'll hide

It's easier that way hiding was meant to protect

But in the process, it separated you from me

It's my biggest defense when I feel the most guilty

So I'll cover my sin

Put it in a pretty bow

Raise it in my hands like I'm raising my worship

Present it in such a way you'll forget my faults

Fine once again I'll unlock this vault

I don't want to expose myself I'll be too open

Revolving doors seem so familiar love gone and trust broken

But you stay unlike so many others you stay

You've given me no resin to run away

I'm scared of your life because I've never experienced consistency

But the song of love that you sing is such a beautiful

Symphony

I have thousand reasons to give up but you've given me one to hang on you went to your death for me

To erase the line in the sand that had been drawn

I say look at my sin and you say look at my love

And I say I'm not good and you say you're enough

I say look at these scars you say look at those testimonies

I say I'm no good and you say you're beautiful to me

I cry because I'm not strong and comfort saying I never had to be and I break because I wasn't really held together and you say it's because you weren't the center of me.

So my nerves calm and our peace sets in my control ends and your will begins

I've found my place there's no need to roam God your daughter she's finally coming home

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
