when my pen doesn't bleed ink I throw it away

So that is a weird title...
but I just thought about it..b/c I've been kind of using the phrase " my pen sits with the cap on..but I want it to bleed ink on to the paper...to write me a song"
I made that quote up and I use it b/c I want to get back to writing my songs. Lately some lines to start a song pop in to my head but it seems like when it comes to mind I'm always doing something else @ that time so I don't stop and write it down.

I hate that b/c I've been so busy and its like saying I really haven't been having time for God. How selfish, right?
I don't want to do that to the one who died for my sins.
I just recently learned this quote that says something like this:
"Jesus love you so much that if you were the only human being on earth He would still have thought it worthwhile to die for you on the cross"

That quote penetrates my heart. It really gets me!!! b/c then is when I realize how much he loves me. How extreme!!!

I've been learning a lot in this book by Corrie Ten Boom
"Amazing Love" & "The Hidding Place"

Corrie is such an amazing writer....you should check her books out....

the 2 I'm reading tell about her journey....her life story
but it just amazes me so much how devoted she was to God. How willing...I want to build a faith like that....one that revolves around God

and it seems to get harder b/c @ skool it seems challenging to be a Christian in front of a teacher....in front of my friends and fellow students has become easy to just be a Christian...but still not sharing just loving....I'm working on sharing my relationship.

the morning is over and now heading to school
