Nadine's Poem

Just sitting here thinking of what a fool I’ve been,
thinking of my crazy lifestyle of sin.

thinking of all the crazy stuff that is going on,
Knowing that prayer is the only thing that is keeping me strong,

My family’s splitting more and more apart,
Going through all of this is tearing my heart.

My older brother, I haven’t talked to him in quite awhile,
I wonder if they’ll let him out his next trial.

I’m still sitting here hoping the Lord is watching,
Just praying that He hears me calling,
Because now is when I feel that my whole world is falling.

 Sitting here with all of this pain
Knowing my life will never be the same,
But then again, I only have myself to blame.

I’m always running and running and moving and moving,
But I know that no matter where I go and no matter what I do,
The Lord is always saying,
“Nadine, I have better plans for you.”

Yes life is crazy with all its twists and turns,
and through this each and every one of us sometimes learns.
Some the easy way, some the hard way, but we all learn eventually,
someday.

I still look back at what a crazy little girl I used to be,
and I also see that God never left me.

He stood by my side
maybe because he knew what was really going on inside,
He knew of all the things I used to try and hide.

Through thick and thin, even pain and sin,
God has always been there from day one,
and I know that He’s still the only one who can forgive me
for all the bad things I have done.

Now I know that he has a better plan for me,
I know now that I have a better destiny,
and only because of how much love He has for me.

 Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord,
plans for good and not for evil, plans to give you a hope and a future.
