Not All Things Change

"Nothing is permanent"
"All things change"
"Nothing will stay the same"
"Change is the only permanent thing"

Sayings and quotes are nice to read
But I don't agree with everything
There are things that are permanent
And not all things change

I still like vanilla ice cream.
I love chocolate candies but not chocolate ice cream
I still hate summer because I love cold days.
and I still find it hard to wake up early

I know it's a sin but I still worry a lot
I still get nervous in front of many people
I still don't know how to fix my hair right
and how to put eye make up.

I have new friends but same number of true friends
All adults now but we still act like kids when together
All the bullies I know are still the same
And those who are blessed are still blessed

I love airports but I still hate waiting
I love plane rides but I still hate long flights
I love vacations but I still hate unplanned trips
I like seeing you because I still love you

That will never change!

YOU ARE SO BAD 2014

Dear 2014,

In just a few hours I will be saying goodbye to you
I have waited for this moment since July
I want to get rid of you...to kick you out of my life
Because you are so bad. You are one cruel year.
The worst year of my life.

You made me do things that I hate
You brought bad people to my life
You took my joy and hope
You made me cry day and night
You send danger on my way

I ran out of patience
My strength was almost drained
Too tired to get up
Too tired to fight back
Too scared to give a fake smile

But if not for you, I would not know how strong I am
I would not know what I am capable of...
If not for you, I would still be in my comfort zone
Thanks to you, I lost my pride
I am now completely depending on God

Do I still hate you? Yes I still do.
But I will remember all the good things you gave me
When I first met you, you were nice to me
I hate you but thank you
I used those beautiful gifts wisely

Please bring all my bad memories with you
Keep them in your bag and don't ever open it
Please leave quickly. Don't stop and don't look back
Don't smile to 2015 and don't be friends with him
Go now, go walk out the door. Goodbye 2014.

Jesus, today is your day!

Dear Jesus,

You know I am not good in remembering birthdays
I can't even remember holidays
But I will never forget your birthday
It is my favorite time of the year

Christmas songs cheer me up
Bright red and green makes me happy
A tall Christmas tree is a beautiful sight
Big and small gifts truly warm my heart

I live in a place where snow don't fall
The wind is a little cold and it rains today
But it is okay because your birthday is coming
In a few hours, we will celebrate your special day

Jesus, this year I have been a bad girl
Please forgive me for all the wrongs things I said
Sorry for being impatient
Sorry if I don't understand you

Thank you for being patient with me
Thank you for keeping me safe
Thank you for forgiving me all the time
Thank you for being my best friend

Jesus, since it's your birthday
I am not perfect I will make mistakes again
But this I promise you, I will stay faithful to you
You know that, don't you?

I am not good all the time
But you will always be my God
I will not be ashamed of you
Your name will always be in my heart

Jesus, this day I will be happy
Because It's your birthday, I will enjoy every minute
With my mama and papa and my dogs and cats
We will celebrate the day you came here on earth
