Right at home

The shy, young eighth grader had just finished an assignment for her English class.  She had been studying different poets, and her assignment was to write her own original poem about any subject.  Feeling isolated and rejected from the popular girls at school, she decided to write a poem about her perception of these snooty creatures.  Her poem was entitled, "Conceited Lasses".  In retrospect, it really was a somewhat cold and unkind poem, but this first writing opened up a door for her and gave her a vehicle whereby she could express all kinds of feelings and thoughts that she had kept locked up inside of her.  She continued writing poetry as she entered her highschool years.  At the age of 16, she had an encounter with God that changed her life.  She made a committment to God that she would try to use her writing to bring glory to God and help other people.  Hello everyone!  I'm Carol, a pastor's wife, homeschooling mom, lover of life and one who enjoys writing.  This is my story.  Since that first poem in 8th grade, I've written many other poems, skits, puppet shows, short stories, letters, etc., and have thoroughly enjoyed doing it.  A friend introduced me to the concept of blogging not too long ago, so I thought I would give it a try.  Please feel free to make yourself right at home, while I "write at home."
