We are Flawless to Him

Anne Bradstreet, a famous poet, uses many different literary technique’s to describe her love of God in “Upon the Burning of Our House.” Bradstreet’s poem was very well written and made me want me to think about something that inspires me as God inspires her.  A song that motivates me everytime I listen to it is "Flawless" by Mercyme.
No matter the bumps
No matter the bruises
No matter the scars
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
No matter the hurt
Or how deep the wound is
No matter the pain
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
My favorite line in this song is “The cross has made you flawless” because it doesn’t directly say it but this song is basically saying that we are flawless to our God. These lyrics are very heart warming and very inspiring for many reasons. This song gives me the reminder of the fact that Jesus did die on the cross for me and He did make me whole again. Every time I hear this song I remember that I have no reason to doubt God or doubt the things that happen in my life because He has a plan for me and I know whatever happens has a reason. The plan that God has for me might not be evident to me now but I can always listen to this song and I remember that He is working on my life and what's in store for me.

My Amazing Grace

In English class, we have been watching a movie called Amazing Grace. This movie is about a man named William Wilberforce who fights for his whole life to abolish the slave trade and in the end, he accomplishes his goal. This story inspires me because their are many goals I would love to accomplish in life. One of the goals specifically would be to have children. Having children might be a very common goal but I have always wanted to have a family. Getting married and having children has always been one of my major goals and I hope to work for it and accomplish it one day just like William Wilberforce accomplished his goal.
