well , summer has been going by pretty fast for me latly. But i just got back from brittanys camp with britt,nate,ynze,and mike. It was so awsome. we definatly had alot of adventures out there . like killing off the c r a z ii e mosquitos ! and me and ynze's kyak and canoe trip .. haha . and all of us trying to ride the floatie toys in the lake .

i also got to spend a lot of God time while i was there too, which was incredible. I love just waking up and going out to sit on the dock and reading my bible and spending time with God and seeing all the beauty he created. it really took my breath away. Its so awsome to know that the God that made all of that loves me so much, and calls me his own.

Here are some of the poems i wrote during my time with God

1st poem

So far from home
Lord my heart longs for you
please change me
make me new
clean and worthy in your eyes
for nothing seems to matter anymore
all i need is you
strip away all i have if it is your will
i will live this life for you
no matter what the cost.


2nd poem

The sun beaming down
the glisten of the lake
i feel the cool breeze glide apon me
im in awe of your creation
so amazed by your love
Lord i see you in all creation
your beauty and power
over whelms me


3rd poem

Humble and unworthy i come to you
with the sacrifice or a broken heart
i place it in your hands Lord
and watch as you make it whole
for my heart and my life is found in you
you place a smile on my face that noone else can
you give me hope when it seems like theres none
you are my strength when i feel weak
i fall to my knees at your throne
in awe of you
and i will follow you until the end of my days.

well hope you enjoy this blog . i will write again soon in a bit !

In Christ,
Alyssa <3 . <><

Summeerr time : )

hello again !


well this is my second post . yay ! lol . well nothing to big is new with me. I'm just hanging out with my friend Genny today and we just got back from the movies. My niece is over, and she is the most adorable kid in the world ! she is 8 months old and her name is Melina Alyssa Piazza. she LOVES to listen to music, and when its on she makes her baby noises like shes singing. she also loves to watch the tvee . it keeps her pretty amused, athough pretty much anything will keep that kid amused ! haha . I love her to pieces and she is such a blessing from God. I also have another little niece on the way, and she is due in september i believe. So far the name that my sister in law most likes is Aliyah. I am so excited for her to be born. Well things are pretty good, my summer has been awsome so far. except i had to say goodbye for the summer to some of my awsome friends who i am missing like crazy right now. 3 of them are up in Cat Lake. and 1 is away in Mexico on missions trip. and a few of them are leaving for school at the end of the summer, so i am spending as much time as possible with them! : P. Also since the summer has started i've had a lot more time to spend with God and really getting closer with him. which has been incredible so far. I hope all of your summers are going as awsome as mine. Well i better head out now, but i will blog again soon : ) .

In Christ †

If you've read my profile you know i love to write poems, so i decided to close my first blog off with a poem i wrote, so here it is.

Lord i cant see
how you could love someone like me

But i fall to my knees
and offer my heart to you

Its broken and wounded
But its all i have to give

As i lay down my life
i surrender everything to you

the pain and the hurt
the thoughts and my struggles

lord i surrender them to you
knowing you will heal me

i turned from you time and time again
yet still you call me your child

and in your arms i feel complete
i know that i am home

and as the tears fall down my face
im ready to make the change

not live for myself
but for you the father

take my wounded spirit lord
and use it for your will
