These poems were intended for competition led by @grm345 but that doesn't mean it's solely for that.... Hope y'all enjoy!

Faith struggles with her fiancé's revelation that he paid to abort a child he fathered his senior year of high school. Her belief system labels abortion as murder. Her dreams include a virginal marital bed. Can she offer forgiveness and trust to someone who shattered her dream and fostered an abortion? Aaron chooses to reveal his past certain that God wants to use his mistake to help others. As he grapples with the possibility of losing Faith, he must also face Kyra, the girl from his past. He believed the Biblical injunction "the truth will set you free," but he hadn't contemplated freedom without Faith. Her mother bequeaths Faith a journal that chronicles the marriage of Faith's parents, Sydney and David Lander. The family secrets revealed offer a path to forgiveness, if Faith can accept that every relationship must conquer hidden obstacles. The rose earrings her father gave her mother on their wedding day become a symbol of unconditional love.

Most of the earth has been laid waste in nuclear war, but in the wilderness of Alaska, some humans cling to life. They've reverted to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, worshiping the remnants of their old society in a shamanic cargo cult. All hope of recovering the past seems lost. But there might be something nearby which could change all of that...

As everything around them crumbled to mere existence, Earth's greatest scientists made one last effort to save the world that had been ravaged by climate change and human fault. Gene enhancement. The testing on pregnant women was indubitably dangerous; but what else was there left to try when Earth faces the ineluctable consequences? If there was any chance of volition that this generation could make the difference, it had to be taken. But with no palpable differences at their birth, only time will tell if these children will truly be the key to Earth's salvation. Not only for humanity but also for the place they live in. Even if that is the case, can they get the better of the ignorance that destroyed the planet in the first place? Book summary by @minusfractions (mostly some parts). Book cover by @Apollyon- (it's so awesome!) Ranked #710 [04-16-16]

Something about the world was fundamentally wrong, but no one knew it except nineteen-year-old, Lita Skye. After almost dying of sand poisoning and calling out to the gods of her people, Lita realized that her life left in their hands was soon to be extinguished...until He-the Unknown God-saved her. With His power, the Unknown God wiped her lungs, throat, and mouth clean of sand and saved her from a surely agonizing death; from that moment on, Lita vowed to know Him and denounce the Trinity. If only it were that easy. Lita soon finds that family ties, political roles, and public appearances held more weight than religious truth and at her refusal to complete the Oath to the Trinity, she is exiled from Vexmoor to live life in the Outlands until her trial. While in the Outlands, Lita must make a decision. Either she will repent and serve the false Trinity to gain her fiancé, friends, family, and status in society back; or, she can serve The One and be lost to everyone forever.

John 13:34: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" Jesus said himself that we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves. God has a plan for you, and is always calling you to do things even when you are not aware of it. I am definitely not a master when it comes to religion. I don't have a degree in Christian studies, nor am I old enough to even attend college. I'm just a young, 14 year old Christian girl, however I have a strong relationship with God. I have seen God working through people in my life to help make this world a better place. In this book I plan to talk about how God called me to follow his plan, and hopefully help you grow in your own faith journey as well.

To the One 🙏💙

"A shot was heard. Janette whined as she felt the thick hot blood running down her left arm. But she couldn't stop now. No, not while the soldiers were after her." This was nearly the same as saying that he was dead for sure and they would never be able to get him back ever again! She felt her head spinning at the thought of never being able to see Piet again and slumped into the back of her chair." Janette isn't just a normal girl. No, she is more than that. She is a warrior fighting in the resistance for her freedom and next to that she has a war of emotions inside of her, how will she cope with the fact that her friend dies or the boy for whom she is slowly developing feelings for, gets kidnapped? What should she do when she stands face to face with the man responsible for all this hurt? *!currently under construction!* We are currently correcting some mistakes and grammatical issues that are in the Story. However, the Story is not going to be taken down during this editing and therefore the chapters might look a little confusing for a while ;)

In this Book I just want to write stories about random topics which may come into my head. 😅😅 I just hope you all enjoy reading this 😉

Ever wonder what it's all about? I need to try and work it out. I'll just begin with the deer. This is about what and who and where strength comes from.

May we forever thank the Savior who holds us through it all! ❤️ "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand." ~ John 10:28 Happy Holy Saturday! Let us thank and praise our precious loving Savior today and always! All thanks and glory once again to the Holy Spirit who graciously gave me the words to write! <3333333

#6 Spiritual. Wattpad Featured. The battle for life and the winning of love, from World War 1 to the Millennium. A collection of (very) short real life stories and one or two poems. 'Waiting for Fred Astaire,' 'No Child of Mine,' and other memories were given to me by wonderful women and men who taught me everything that matters to me now. They told and retold, telling without saying, until I began to understand. The lesson never ends. I remember, and loving them, learn still. Thank you so much for reading. Your comments and thoughts are so welcome and such a great help. As I got older I simply thought these memories would die with me. I can't believe they are now being read in over 90 countries! It is really amazing. Thank you again :))) Keep in touch. Follow for more news and stories. I'll put the kettle on. Come back soon:) © @RosyCarmelina all rights reserved. I found the beautiful cover picture on the wiki creative commons page which feels just like the right mood for the love that cooks these stories.

What would it be like to be a member of the Flock; to interact with the many different chickens who have appeared in my stories? This book gives that perspective, as well as portraying each character's personality on a closer level. My OCs are like friends to me, and I've made up countless of scenarios while I was writing, so I decided to put all these stories into a book. So here's this collection of small scenes- some random, some funny, some emotional. I focused on accurately portraying each of my characters and the experience of what knowing them would be like, so this is definitely where you'll see most of their personalities. Honestly this is probably my favorite book to write- I just always have so much fun with these stories. :D I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I've enjoyed working on this book. :)
