In case you didn't know, I'm random. The title just happens to be part of a song I'm listening to...

My word count is at 9668 or something like that. I forgot. I'm probably going to go work on it some more.

I figured since this isn't just my NaNo blog, I guess y'all could experience some of my writing. Keep in mind I don't always do poetry, but it usually is free-style. One of my mentors has me doing a Philippians study. I did Philippians 3 this week. I wrote a poem for it, and I figure you could read it. I don't think I rambled too much on this one like usual. Right?

If you put your past behind you
And put the prize in front
Striving for the best
Putting confidence in God.

You run the race before
Living through your life
The prize still lays waiting
For you at the end of your days.

The world will crown their champions
With their worthless tarnished gold
And hand us amidst much mocking
A woven crown of thorns

But this crown is the one
That our dear Lord wore.
If we can be worthy to recieve it
It is more precious than any jewel.

For even though it comes from mocking hands
To a head worn with cares
Still we must have earned it
To be given the same "degradation".

A crown of thorns is our winner's prize
The greater prize than that of the world.
The celebration and rest afterwards
Will be all that we never deserved.

So pull away for the greater prize
Lifting your standards above cheap gold
To the One who truly deserves the prize
But chooses to hand it to us with his love.

So yeah. It's not my best work, but it's the most recent. And what I really should be doing now is working on my NaNo, but I wanted to write that, so I did. Don't ask me why. I just did.
