Launching "Diabetically Speaking" from "Finding Me"

Okay, so starting immediately (tomorrow) this blog will be more about my everyday life and lessons with diabetes. I have realized that I have a lot to say about that, and I want to continue raising awareness through this blog!

I wanted to let anyone who is a consistent follower know that I am re-working some things, but I'm not completely tearing down "Finding Me." It's just getting a make-over and a new perspective.

See What I Did Here?

I have one more poem for the last day of February! :)

See if you can find the hidden message in this one!

There are no rhymy words in this poem. It's more like a riddle I think...

He gave me something to die For                         

                                             God gave me her. 

And I loved her So!      

                                                       Loved her from day one.

She shows me The 

                                                          World in totally new way.

What a blessing He     

                                        Gave me in her!

I know that she is His      

                                                                                      Only He could make something so special.

She's not the same kind of gift as his Son                                 

                                                           That was a gift for my soul.

Same goes for Whoever 

                                                                        Believes. But Autumn was just for me! 

She restores my faith In              

                                                         Him daily, and in humanity.

Fight for me, she Will!         

                                                          Not usually with me though.

Our bond won't Parish.      

                                                             But because He's blessed it so.

I'm so grateful for all I Have               

                                                 Eternal-ly blessed with

My crazy, beautiful Life     

Did you see what I did there? 

No? 

Wanna read it again? 

It isn't as clean as it is on paper, but the center words all the way down are a paraphrase of John 3:16.

I literally wrote those out before I filled in anything about my sister. I had no idea what I was going to do with it when I wrote those words. I had to play with it just a little to get it to fit, and not be too obvious. Share if you got it right away. If not, share and see if your friends get it! :) 

A Poem For Momma

I wrote this poem for my Mom for Mother's Day in 2011. I thought about selling it to Hallmark, but I never went after that goal. Feel free to use it in your Mother's Day cards this year!! I won't even charge you $11 for the card :) 

Thank you

for the food I eat

And for

the shoes on my feet.

Thank you Mom,

For the roof over my head.

And for my warm,

Cozy bed.

Thanks for all

The clothes I wear.

Thanks for giving me

Your beautiful hair.

I love having

Your almond eyes,

And sharing Faith

That never dies.

You gave to me

Your “momma-bear-ness,”

You loved me when

I couldn’t care less.

I’ll never forget

The time we’ve spent together.

 I’ll always say

“Couldn’t have been better!”

You, Momma,

I truly adore.

So, to end this poem:

I love you more.

Mom and Dad on their wedding day. They are such a beautiful couple!

A Little Bit of Poetry

February's theme is supposed to be poetry, so I'll start it off with one of my favorite poems. However, I do have to say that the "theme" will definitely be changing by the end of the month!!

The following poem is written by yours truly. I wrote it about a year ago, and it came out of nowhere. I felt it and then had to pen it before I forgot. I hadn't written any poetry in years at this point, so I am not really sure where it came from. Please enjoy "Happenings In The Heart"! 

Electricity,

That’s what it’s like for me.

It makes my heart beat,

It makes me move my feet.

I’m excited to see

God’s will for me.

I am so ready

For what it may bring.

A river flowing,

My heart is glowing!

My happiness is showing,

It is not going.

My soul is soaring,

I feel it roaring,

Yet I’m knowing,

I’m unafraid.

Treetops dance,

I’m in a trance!

Strong in my stance,

As the spell enhances.

I can’t miss my chance.

Can I have just one glance?

Of Your omniscient plan.

Let me move for You.

I’m walking in the clouds,

Oh, can I be allowed?

To take a step out,

And start my future now?

Will you change my rout?

Should I have a doubt?

I won’t scream and shout.

I trust You with my life.

I feel like I could fly!

My arms are opened wide,

I will not run and hide.

I’m dancing in the sky!

I’m following Your light,

Trusting in Your might,

Fighting the good fight,

You have my heart.
