so blessed

I just recieved my first comment!
And sherreen, you made me sound so wise and good, but truth is, i'm not. I've just been so so so blessed. I've got two lovely sisters (the previous previous blog refers to my younger sister, btw), a doting father and a caring mother. But more than that, i've got a Abba Father who's here, in me, and it is God who gives me my words and my love. I am really a very naughty girl, who does love to gripe and grumble, and who can never see just how blessed i am! I never got round to thanking all my friends at CTSS, did i? Sherreen, this is just for you: i thought your poem was beautiful, and i hope you continue writing, no matter what challenges or criticism you will one day face. Because the beauty in writing isn't really about style, form or technique, but it is in the representation of the writer's thoughts, feelings and beliefs that make a writing memoriable. Poetry is a poet's soul placed on paper and moulded into the strokes of a pen. This is what i think great writing is, which is why i don't really agree with my lit teacher and often lose out in exams. It's not the outside that matters, but the core, the essence of it. And as long as your poetry reflects the beauty of human nature (faults, errors and failings included), then it is a work of art.
so thank you for your praise, and thank you for blessingg me with your friendship. though i can't accept the praise, i will aspire to live up to it, and i will pray everyday that i will be worthy of true, lovely and wonderful friends like you. I thank God for bringing me to CTSS, and letting me know all you fine older sisters and brothers. And sherreen, if you know what i mean, i finally am able to say "no regrets". Because he taught me a precious lesson on self-expression, one which makes every artist unique and different. so ROCK ON, you hear?
love, alycia
