Could I be a slave that is being sold
Was I raised by dragons?
Or am I an orphan in a rusty house
Am I a prairie girl riding in wagons
Could I be in England wearing a blouse
Am I an Eskimo that lives in the snow
Or Dorothy getting blown in the wind
Do I live low
Could I be a doctor waiting for patients to tend?
I am none of these things can't you see
I am God's own child and that is who I will always be.

One day I was thinking about how blessed I was to be able to live in America. That I could have a relationship with the true living God and not have to hide it from the world. I love you Jesus!(:

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
