Beautiful Diversity- A Poem

Beautiful Diversity

Beautiful Diversity is what makes the

World a beautiful place. It comes in

Many shapes, colors, and sizes. It is

Very unique. It never comes in the same 

Package. That's what makes it so

Beautiful.

 

Diversity is something that God does 

beautifully. He makes people in His image

Which is just beautiful. He makes us 

Different because that is needed in the 

World. Whether it is color, body ablities, 

And so forth. Everyone can do something!

That is beautiful diversity!

Beautiful Diversity is older people then

You because they have wisdom to pass

Down. They have been through things

That you are going through now. They 

Are also the gentler generation. They 

Have been through so much. More then

We could ever think of. Times are 

Different but we can still learn from them

In some way.

Diversity is something this world needs.

Can you just imagine if we were all the

Same race? Can you imagine if nature 

Was all the same race? It would be so

Borning. Each race brings different 

traditions and ideas to the world. I 

Mean some of the things we have today

Are because of different race ideas. 

That is beautiful diversity!

Beautiful Diversity is people with disabilities.

They have a heart that is gentle and 

Caring. What would we do without 

Those people? They seem to be the more 

Understanding type. They bring joy when

People have none. They also seem not

To have a care in the world about what

Other people think. We need a lot more 

Of those thinkers. 

Diversity is young people. How would

The older people learn new things? 

Where would the fun be? Young people

Means more people to figure things out.

We need that! Young people can also

Help out a lot! That is Beautiful diversity! 

Beautiful Diversity is shy people. They

Listen to people's problems. They

Care. They pay very close attention to

Things and are very detailed. They 

Are also very patience too. They get

Asked a lot, "why don't you talk?" 

Well, maybe it is because we need a 

Lot more listener then talkers. 

Diversity is what God made,

Not only in people but in all of His

Creations! It is beautiful!

It is one of His best ideas! We

Need diversity to live! I don't know 

About you but I don't want a boring

Life. Can you imagine life without 

Diversity? I can't! So enjoy it!

A Girl with Anxiety and COVID-19

           This is a story about a girl with anxiety and COVID-19. The girl had a hard time when the news about this sickness came out. She worked for a week without her kids and then she was done and on a break. A break would have been fine and she was so happy to get one but she is going on month two. She isn't really complaining. The first month out was fun because she got to spend it with her parents. She got to do crafts and baking with her mom. Her dad helped out her boyfriend. They both helped her dad with jobs outdoors. She totally forgot about the sickness. 

                But that is when she thought she was going back May 1st, now she isn't going back til June 1st. She has another month to just sit around the house. Yes, she still has crafts and writing and hobbies to do but you can only do so much in a row. She is also missing her kiddos. She is trying to do videos for them but she needs more ideas. She is feeling lost without her kiddos and a routine. She misses her routine. 

                Her anxiety is getting the best of her too. She is very emotional because again she has no routine or no plans. Everyone is talking about change and new norms after this sickness is over. How everything so going to change and stay changed for awhile. What gets her too is things are so overwhelming and confusing and there are too many rules. A mind that is anxious is very compelled to those things. She hates change because of her anxiety. She has always hated it.

                 But she has never had a change has big as now in her life. When you can't buy the things you need. When you cant go to church. When you can't see family for the holidays like Easter. It is hard for a girl with anxiety. Trying to keep up with all the changes too is crazy. She also can't keep up with which aisle in Wal Mart to go down the right way while she is thinking about what she needs. She also has to think about staying 6 ft away from people. Don't forget about not touching your face and washing your hands and wiping down the steering wheel in the car. 

                Sometimes this girl wonders if people really understands what she is going through. She might have people looking at her because she is going down the wrong way down an aisle. She can't help it, it is easier for her not to think. She cries because her mind is overwhelmed with things that she can't get out. She also feels so stuck right where she is and she hates that. She doesn't feel like her life is moving because she has to stay in and avoid people.

                She wishes she could look at the positive side of things but she can't because her anxiety is taking control again. When she felt like she just got over it before this all started. She is thankful for her boyfriend because if it wasn't for him, she would be more anxious and maybe even bored. She knows that she isn't the only one that feels like this. If she can get through this, anyone can. 

What Are You Rushing Back To?- A Poem

What Are You Rushing Back To?

What part of normal are you 

rushing back to? 

Are you rushing make just to 

make money? Are you rushing 

back because you are tried of

being at home? We are asking

these questions but these 

questions are not what we should 

be asking at all. 

Use this time to think about 

what is more important to 

rush back to and why.

It is more important to go 

get your nails done? Is it more 

important to go eat out? Is it 

more important to get you hair 

cut? Are those things more normal

to you? 

They might have been normal

to you before this whole virus

started. But have you consider 

these things while you were 

made to stay home? Are they 

still really that important to 

you or have your thoughts 

change since you have been 

home? Are there other things 

that you wish you could make 

normal again? 

Things like spending time 

with family members. Eating

around the dinner table. 

Having hobbies like painting

or reading. Spending more 

time with God. Teaching your

children the more important 

things in life like God, cooking,

crafts, and simple things like that.

Teaching them that it is okay 

not to have all those store brought

things to keep busy. They could 

go outside and play some. Know

that anyone could be gone at 

anytime so say "I love you" 

when you think about it and more.

Again I ask the question, "What 

are you rushing back to?" Is it 

things that you are barely getting 

by with or is it things that will 

matter in the future? That your 

kids and you could look back on

and laugh and smile about it. 

Are you returning to the normal

normal or are you returning to 

your new normal? The new normal 

you have learned about through 

all of this time. God is doing 

something. We just have to let 

Him have control.

Turn Me Into A Minister- A Prayer

Dear Daddy,

            Turn me into a minister at heart. Keep opening people's heart around to hear You through me. I love talking scriptures with people. Talking about what You are teaching me through them. Let me pray with people too. That would seal the deal for me. Maybe I do need to say some prayers out loud? Be the example. Show people that they can just talk to You without knowing what to say. Give me the courage to do that much. I want to do ministry and have the heart to do it so push me I pray. I know it's dangerous but still do it. Daddy, I love you, too. 

In Christ's name,

 Amen

Calming and Fun Part of COVID-19

           Well, I thought I better get this entry done before I go things open back up on May 4th, if they are going to. I want to say that even though this time might be hard and really busy for some, it was calm and fun for me. Just because I say that I am not taking away from the serious of it all. I am just telling you how I turned it around for me. Giving you ideas maybe and seeing it could possibly be a good time if we let it. That's my main goal because if you know me I could have turned this whole thing into a big anxiety attack/fit. To be honest, earlier on in life I would have.

             Here we go: I have started going deeper into 2 new hobbies, spent time with my parents, spent time with God in a new Bible study, spent time with my boyfriend, and looked at it has a time to relax. First one I'm going to talk is spend time with my parents and boyfriend at the same time. My boyfriend and I went up to my parents' house the week after Spring Break and we have been there ever since. For about a month. I have got to do crafts and bake with my mom and my boyfriend helped my dad out in the yard. He has raked sticks, put up a cabinet, and other little things in his shop.

           Second one I am going to talk about are my hobbies. The first hobby I tried was woodburning. I loved it! It was my first time ever doing it! At first it was hard but I got the hang of it. When I was done and wanted to color the pictures, I did it two different ways. I tried water colored pencils and then water color paints. I got a new woodburning tool because my first one broke because it didn't come with enough directions. 

             The second hobby that I did was Bible journaling. I brought two new Bible jounraling stamp kits to try out and I've tried out one so far. I have been journaling and drawing pictures by a lot of verses about not being anxious, trusting, and God's Love. Those things are good to remember in times like these. I'm using my water color pencils and some of my mom's scrapbooking markers to make the pictures. I have been doing that while my mom has been working on making her cards.

              The third thing I am doing is spending time with my boyfriend. Before we went up to my parents' house, we built a couple of things together like a table and a fire pit. We painted a rock swan staute together. When I say painted, I mean spray painted it white all around. We also had supper around the fire pit one night. We went around different parks to take Spring pictures of us together. 

              Fourth thing I did was doing was a Bible study all about Trusting in God and it was by Sarah Young. I've done a couple of days with it and am really liking it. That is where I am finding most of my verses to do during my Bible Journaling. Not much to say about this. I had this study for a long time and just now getting to it. Isn't it strange how on some things we wait til the last minute or til we really need it sometimes?

              This is all relaxing to me and I am having fun doing it all too. You just have to make the most of what is given to you. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. 😊
