I May Just Be A Regular Guy, But God Sure Spoke To The Poet In Me

This is intended to be a humorous poem, but I'll let you be the judge of that.

I May Just Be A Regular Guy, But God Sure Spoke To The Poet In Me

Once upon a time, on a very large college campus

A journalism student struggled to come up with story ideas.

His brain tried to think long and hard about what to write

But, to no avail, there were no ideas


I guess you could say this man was screwed

Up the crap creek without a paddle

This guy needed to think of something quick, for the deadline was quickly approaching

But his brain stayed quiet, not even a rattle.


This guy is about ready to blow his top

The editors keep pestering

This man has had enough

He is swollen with anger, the anger is festering


He wants to cuss out his teacher, everyone all around

The venom is about to come out of his mouth

But, all of a sudden

The Spirit came about


The man opened his mouth, ready to release

The anger deep inside him, ready to pop, pow!

But God stopped his tongue before he could form the words

The sound that came out of his mouth, the Chick-fil-a cow!


He wanted to cuss

Moo this and moo that

But The Holy Spirit

wasn't going to let him do that.


Finally, he just cried, because God convicted his heart

Of all the anger he had inside him

He just fell apart

Down to his knees, he fell about.


The man said "Lord, I had been such a fool"

"Why did I get mad?"

"Lord, you are so awesome!"

"Now, Lord, I feel bad."


God spoke to the man

God lifted up his face

God said "I love you, my child"

"Now rest in my redeeming grace!"


The man had so much joy

He couldn't control himself

The Lord's love was inside him

He was a jolly, bouncy Elf.


He grabbed the nearest person, tight in his hands

The man said "The Lord loves you, and I love you too"

The Lord is merciful, glorious, fantastic

The Word of God is good and true.


The person scoffed and said "That man is a nut"

"He is rambling on about preposterous things, he truly is insane."

But the Lord just watched as the love

Transformed the man, truly he's changed.


This is a story about a student who got right with God

Turned from his ways

He said "Lord, be with me always. Hold me and strengthen me"

"Let me love like You, Lord, all of my days."


You have a choice, God gives you free will

To choose the world or His redeeming grace

It is up to you to choose what's best,

"But as for me and my house, let me never leave God's place"

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
