Whirlwind

March 24, 2011
I wrote this poem in my journal the morning after I found out we are moving back to the States this next school year. It was really random but I just kept writing what came to mind and I think it turned out nicely if I do say so myself.

Whirlwind
caught in a whirlwind
inside and out
life is chaos, my thoughts a storm
debris rushes by
barely missing my head
I wish time would stop
so I could catch up
caught in a whirlwind
where will I land?

Well I hope you enjoyed it!! Have an awesome Friday.

Whitney Anne and Kirra D- Part 1

March 22, 2011
    As most of you know, one of my dearest friends came to visit this past weekend. We had a fabulous time and it will take me a VERY long time to go through all our pictures and write all the blog posts so I decided to do it in a few different parts. This first part covers our first evening together and Friday.

Blessings

March 21, 2011
This song, especially the lyrics, is definitely going to become very close to my heart in this turbulent time. We just found out that we will be spending the next year in the States and there is so much uncertainty and heartache coming our way. It is so important to remember that sometimes the worst suffering is the greatest blessing.

5 days

March 12, 2011
I have been waiting for this for a while. Only 5 more days until one of my closest friends ever- I call her my fabulous forever friend- is going to be here. She gets here on Thursday night and leaves Monday afternoon. This will be the longest period of time we have together since the summer before our sixth grade year. We have a lot planned:
  • A field trip with my German class to Freiburg. It will be interesting since she doesn't speak any German!
  • Attending my sister's middle school play
  • M...

You Love Me Anyway

February 24, 2011
    I have a song on my iPod by the Sidewalk Prophets called "You Love Me Anyway". I really like it because it is about how we mess up and turn our backs on God but He still loves us anyway. Today in my first period class we watched the music video for the song because my teacher's brother produced it and the lead singer of the Sidewalk Prophets was my teacher's college roommate. What a small world. I really like the song and the video is pretty cool too. You should check it out here: http://...

Victory

February 20, 2011
    Praise the Lord! Today has been kind of hard because I found out that I had to miss out on a fun activity to go to a missions trip meeting and there I found out that an essay I thought was due Tuesday is really due tomorrow. Yikes! So when I got home at 3 I knew I had to buckle down and get some serious work done. I got a few little things done, went for a long run and then went to a dear little boy's birthday party. I felt pretty badly because at the party I was feeling really stressed o...

Favorite Bible Verses

Ephesians 2:8-10

"For it is by grace you have been saved through faith...not by works so that no man can boast. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God created in advance for us to do."

Romans 12:1-3

"Therefore I urge you brothers to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. This is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is, His good, pleasing and perfect will."

1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 13

" Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. "

Colossians 3:23-34

" Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."

About Me

Michaela Frantz

Michaela Frantz I am sixteen years old and in love with my Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. I am young, but learning every day what it means to live out my faith. I used to be an MK in Germany while my parents worked at the Black Forest Academy but now I live in the Chicago area and attend Harvest Christian Academy. I also live with my younger siblings Allie and JT. Oh, and my cute golden retriever puppy Abbie. I love my life! I enjoy walks in the woods, jogging, long talks with friends, herbal tea, reading, laughing, pictures and doing something crazy every once in a while. But most of all, I love learning more about God and spending time with Him. I have hopes, dreams, faults and feelings which is why this blog is here- a place for me to express and share. Enjoy!
