Children of God verse in the Bible!

John 1:12-13
12Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.


This makes me think of one of my favorite bands ~  Third Day ~ and this song...




AND...

No Longer Slaves

"I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God"



AND.... 

I am a child of the one true King....

Hello My Name Is ~ Lyrics ~ Click Here

Hello, my name is child of the one true King
I’ve been saved, I’ve been changed, I have been set free
"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the one true King











Cherished Child of God
                                 by Karrlin Bain

Inside us lives laughter, joy, sadness and tears
A thousand clear memories from throughout the years
There is daughter and sister wife mother and friend
There's warrior battling trouble through to bitter end
There's goodness and kindness and badness and sin
There's a humble wise woman humanitarian blend
There's little girl, princess, a quaint mother hen
There's teacher, nurse, poet, artist, writer and then
You will find most important
Unique, beautiful, flawed
Your true treasured role
Cherished child of God

My Rhyming Happy Poetry is 100% Unique ~ Posting Poetry, Plagiarism, and Plenty More

Definition of POET

1
: one who writes poetry : a maker of verses
2
: one (as a creative artist) of great imaginative and expressive capabilities and special sensitivity to the medium
As I am a poet that publishes poems on the internet for fun, I often reflect on why I am blogging and sharing some poetry.  I often wonder if I should be submitting my poems somewhere, putting them all in a book for myself to publish someday, saving them for my kids to toss unread into the trash after I am gone... etc. etc.  I also want to make sure that my work is kept safe from those that might claim it as their own.

My thoughts are that I will share my poems here on my blog, and if more happens with them that is GREAT!  If someone just enjoys them that is nice too.  If no one reads my posts... I am at least having fun with my online blog and it seems to be keeping me out of trouble (or at least out of the mall) for the most part!  Also... my blog has a healthy appetite so I keep creating more (as inspiration strikes) to feed it!  If I did not have the blog I don't think I would be so excited to create.  So... it is a win/win/win... 
If you have any suggestions for me I would love to hear them.

I see my blog as a journal of sorts.  I love that I am certain to be positive because I have made it a rule for my blog that it has to be nearly 100% SUPER-cheesy positive.  I enjoy going back to my old poems/posts and improving (repairing grammar!) them, adding pictures, changing font and sizing, etc.  On the chance that one of my poems is good enough that someone may want to steal it, I am going to research how to watch for plagiarism.  I also have one or two good article links about writing and poetry that I once found... and I am going to try to find them (good luck to me) and source them here as well. I don't know if YOU need to know why I do what I do or if I should do it... but for some reason I must contemplate and research... so here goes.

10 Things I Need For Creativity
by Karrlin Bain

Assignments make me create works
I'm certain couldn't arrive
Assignments squeeze creative quirks
And bring new gifts alive

Chocolate makes me smile inside
It is a magic key
To stir up my creative life
Give chocolate to me

Sun~Light~Bulbs and Window Beams
A True Necessity
For Lighting up my happy mood
And Creativity

Pretty Brushes Paints and Such 
Inspire right away
Purple pens and table space
Make my creative day

Coffee has to be involved
From beginning to the end
So if you want me to create
Mocha coffee send

Time has to be my greatest need
Because enough there never is
So that is why someday
I'll run Full time creative Biz

Music or a Background Flick
Is necessary sound
And as I collect all of my faves
I've got the best around

Coffee and Time are so in need
I'll mention them again
For if they don't exist for me
Creating???... who knows when...

My family needs to back me up
Understand about my art
Without their kind loving support
I could never even start

My online friends are now a must
With them my true life thoughts I trust
The world has shrunk and become kind
As online creative friends I find





Please move through the
 AWESOME flying sisters BLOG HOP and go next to 

visit my friend the wonderful artist 

Ruth Packard ~ The Memory Forever


p.s. Flying Sisters are a group of amazing women that I was in a class (by artist Kelly Rae Roberts) with last summer.  
***They have become such an important part of my life!
