Introducing: Poetry by Mr. Cameron Crawford

Is isn't too often that you become acquainted with talented poets, but I have had the privilege of doing just that! While in D.C. I met Cameron on a couple of occasions, actually--during an interview and a couple months later at church. He is a fabulous singer as well, and sings on the worship team at the church I attended while studying in D.C. He recently sent me some of his poetry, and I was very impressed! So I have decided to post his poetry in my blog every once in a while, as he sends it to me. Feel free to comment on the work!

Rainy Day

By Cameron D. Crawford

Spent dripping and wandering.

Computer screen stares into my face,

As thoughts of the day careen through my Mind.

Mildness, and calm call me this day.

Focus that has been lost, now seems closer.

Sit.

As I sit, and think, these are the first thoughts out of my mind.

Clear the distractions.

Make way for the journey.


Thanks for sending it, Cameron! :)

Today was a great day--much better than the last few days. I spent an hour with Dr. Flannery today, my advisor, and it was SO encouraging! He gave me advice on my future in politics, and also commended me for my work thus far at APU. I bought books today, the money for which was a gift from God. Praise Him for providing for all our needs! Chapel today was amazing, as I expected it to be...I had coffee with my dear, dear friend Stephanie before chapel, and we are going to begin our Bible study/accountability partner sessions as well. God is healing my heart, and is beginning to help me to feel better about being back at Azusa Pacific University...God spoke to me a great deal today, and for that I am unbelievably grateful.

May God richly bless your week!!
