I find joy in everyday, not because life is so good, but because God is. Romans 15:11
Hay alegría en cada día, no por que la vida es bueno pero por que el Dios es presente.

POETRY UNLIMITED
Eighth graders finished our Poem in the Pocket Week with an original poem by Arajah White.
No puedo traducir.
I AM HERE
Have you ever felt neglected,
Or ever felt rejected?
Have you ever been judged
That it made you hold a grudge
Like you have no friends
That will be with you til the end
That don’t stick to you like glue
But was a bird that flew
If this is true,
Just know that
I AM HERE FOR YOU!
