Salutaions, I'm Courtney I am 18 years old. I am absolutly obsessed with writing. Poems, short stories, you name it. If I'm not writing you'll probably find me watching TV or listen to Christian Rock. I love Stellar Kart, TFK, Phil Wickham and Byword! At school I'm in the band and play the French Horn (Actually just the "Horn", but whatever). I'm also in Theatre Arts and I love acting! So far I've gotten to be a crazy lady, Jo from Little Women, Miss Lynch (the principle) from Grease, a very fast salesperson trying to sell a can opener and a rapping alien/fairy in spandex who lives on the moon!
My poems come from my heart. I write what I feel and I don't try to make everything a pretty picture. I tell the facts. So read and love.

I absoultely LOVE to learn about other religions and theologies. It's kinda weird but, you know, something that makes me unique. So don't be disturbed by the craziness of the groups I'm in. I'm just there to learn and gain insight on stuff that's totally facinating!

So this year I'm drum major of my band which is awesome! I love it! We've had a hard competition season so far. It's startin' to bring us down. But we've just got to keep our chins up and get through it!

I have to say that I would not be anything if I did not have God in my life. I may not even be here on Earth. God has given me a mission, a soul purpose for living on this earth: To love unconditionally. My God is awesome. He is magnificant and mighty. I thank Him for everyday He gives me. I know He loves me so much more than I can ever comprehend. He is my Daddy, my Counselor, but ultimately, He's my best friend.

"I have plenty to boast about and would be no fool in doing it, because I would be telling the truth. But I won't do it. I don't want anyone to think more highly of me than what they can actually see in my life and my message, even though I have received wonderful revelations from God. But to keep me from getting puffed up, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from getting proud.
Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, "MY GRACIOUS FAVOR IS ALL YOU NEED. MY POWER WORKS BEST IN YOUR WEAKNESS." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may work through me. Since I know it is all for Christ's good, I am quite content with my weaknesses and with insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
~2 Corinthians 12:6-10~

*98 percent of teenagers have tried pot. If you are one of the 2% who hasn't, post this on your profile

"92% of American teens today would die if Abercrombie & Fitch said it wasn't cool to breathe anymore. If you're part of the 8% that would be laughing their butts off, put this in your profile."

--------------------------------------------

3% of Americans write down their goals. If you write down yours, your already better than 97% of the population.
I'm part of the 3%.

Favorite exerpt from literature:

"As they[Adam and Eve] leave the garden, the man and woman are perplexed. Had not God said, "In the day that you eat this fruit, you will die?" Why are they still alive? Their punishment seems so small and inconsequential to what God had promised. Then they began to think back over the last several hours. There had been peace and harmony; now there was division and strife. Before, the land had been so easy to plant and cultivate; now there would be hard work. Before, the woman was told to populate the earth; now there would be great pain associated with birth. In the garden, they had enjoyed the presence of the Creator; now they were on their own. As they contemplate this, they step out of the garden for the first time. They look upon the barren landscape so different from what they had enjoyed. Suddenly, the truth hits them with the force of a hurricane. They are dead."

Lyrics to my current favorite song:

RESURRECTION - Nicol Sponberg

I'm at a loss for words, there's nothing to say
I sit in silence wondering what led me to this place
How did my heart become so lifeless and cold
Where did the passion go?

When all my efforts seem like chasing the wind
I've used up all my strength and there's nothing left to give
I've lost the feeling and I'm down to the core.
I can't fake it anymore.

Here I am at the end I'm in need of resurrection
Only You can take this empty shell and raise it from the dead
What I've lost to the world, what seems far beyond redemption
You can take the pieces in Your hand and make me whole again, again

You speak and all creation falls to its knees
You raise Your hand and calm the waves of the raging sea
You have a way of turning winter to spring
Make something beautiful out of all this suffering

Here I am once again I'm in need of resurrection
Only You can take this empty shell and raise it from the dead
What I've lost to the world, what seems far beyond redemption
You can take the pieces in Your hand and make me whole again, again
