Your Love.....poem (today).

Here's a poem I wrote about 5 minutes ago:
(I love this time of night when all is quiet and it's just me and God).


Poem:

Father God,
heal my heart and save me!
Reach out and embrace me.
I want your love to chase me.
Capture me in your arms.
Romance my heart.

Draw me away.
I long for it to be only you and me.
Pull me away from each busy day--
the distractions I have to keep my mind off the pain
of feeling a little lost, scared, and unsure of what's to come.

All I seek is foolish gain,
when it compares to you.
Whom do I have in heaven but you?
If you are for me,
why do I fear mere mortal man?

I can't get enough of your presence.
I can't get over that you love me.
It's shocking to me that I can't live without you.
I die a little each day, when I stay away from you.

But when I draw near to you,
you draw near to me.
You refresh my heart more and more each day.
My love for you grows.

Your love for me is as big and bold as a sunset,
as mighty as an ocean,
as delightful as a sunflower,
and still as intimate as a rose.

God, your love is rich and deep.
Your face, oh Lord, shall I seek.
I come to your refreshing streams of living water.
I long to drink of your love and life everlasting.

When you fill me with your love,
my cup runs over.
Your joy overwhelms me and overflows.
Bring me to that place again
of sweet love and bliss.

Make my heart good soil
for your words of wisdom and life to grow in me.
I long to be known by you.
I long to shine your light.

You give me beauty in my soul and make me whole.
Create in me a clean heart oh God,
 and renew a right spirit within me.
I love you so much and praise you God!
In Jesus' holy name, Amen.

Becoming New...

Good evening y'all, It has been a long day, but it has gone by fast.  Sort of ironic.  I'm sitting at home trying to get some rest from this cold that's clinging to me like a crawfish...??  I know I've been at work too long when I start sounding out words in my head that I see--like the word, Th-i-n-k-ing.  Or I start saying the words that way to adults when they ask me a question. This 2016-17 school year I am a LITERACY TUTOR in AmeriCorps.  It sounds kind of fancy when you put it that way.  I spend my days working one-on-one with about 16 different students on various reading interventions.  We work on short reading passages or blending together small words.  This also includes a lot of paperwork, data entry, prep work, bribing and coaxing via small toys, candy, and cracker items.  It should involve a lot more praise than scolding, more high-fives than head-shaking, and you get the picture.  The work is often rewarding, but also ...

Hi everybody!

Hello everybody! I've never had a blog before.   I have Facebook though.  I don't really know what to do.  If other people can comment on here feel free to ask me about my life  : )   Oh, apparently you guys can comment so that's good.              So this is Jasmine Fairbanks and I am at the Teen Mania Ministry's Honor Academy in Garden Valley, Texas which a Christian leadership school/ministry internship, basically, yet it's a lot more.  It's sort of like being on a mission trip because we are working toward spreading the gospel, but we stay in one place and reach people through the phones, etc.  I call for the Minneapolis Acquire the Fire youth conference.  Our event is on Feb. 4th & 5th, which is in like 2 weeks!  I'm excited, I get to go and help!  We'll help set up the event and with registration, etc.  This weekend is also the Housto...

Today I played soccer!!!

So today was a really good day!  I went to church, played soccer, knit a little bit, read some of my Bible, worked on some stuff, etc.  Often I worry about what I have to do instead of actually taking time to enjoy life and other people, so it was really good to do that today. I need to learn to live where I'm at. I realized that w/ playing soccer and not worrying about anything for a while was the way things should be and it was really beautiful. I was kind of the goalie and I saw the others playing, carefree and running around under the big blue sky with the sun shining down on them in the warm weather. It was such evidence of a loving God.  The sunshine looked like the rays from a smiling father beaming down on his beloved children.   God is showing me that life is good, I am blessed, He is faithful, and I can trust Him.  It's always when I give me time away or follow God into doing something that I get back so much more, like the P...
