I think the best way to live is summed up by what The White Queen told Alice when she said, “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!” You are only given one little spark of madness in this life, so please use it to believe you are capable of turning impossible things possible!  ~ Mrs. Ferrell

Student,

Our ability to create comes from the fact that we are made after the Creator. The Bible says, “So God created man in his own image...” Genesis 1:27 (ESV), and He created us for a purpose and to do good things that He has planned for us. It is a joy to be able to partner as you develop and demonstrate the creative nature that God has given you. Remember that you are made by the Creator and that He takes great pleasure in His creation.

        My Birthday Morning

On my birthday I slept like a bear,

 I was as comfy as a lion,

 When I woke up I ate like a king, but Driving to my birthday party felt like Forever,

At the party it felt like a vacation,

money kept rolling in,

I felt like a god.

              Deep Sea Fishing

The boat was an 18 wheeler,

4 hours into the ocean was an eternity,

The fish were the size of whales,

I was a sick blow fish,

The ocean was a salty fry, 

And the boat was a swaying dancer. 

                        My Morning

I woke up to my alarm clock screaming at me to get up,

My window was reaching for me to open it,

My dog was yelling at me to get him treats,

My clothes were asking me to wear something nice, 

And my backpack was crying for being so heavy
