Welcome!

Welcome Everyone!
My name is Sasha Allen and I am the Literature Coordinator of UCCF for the 2010-2011 academic year. I merely seek to build on the well established foundation that Xavier Lloyd and Jordanna Guthrie (Past Literature Coordinator and Assistant respectively) put in place on this blog.

May you be truly and deeply blessed as you read these posts.

Official Welcome from Xavier Lloyd
Welcome reader, to the UWI, Mona UCCF Literature blog. My name is Xavier Lloyd, and I humbly hold the post of Literature Coordinator within UWI UCCF. For those who don't know, UCCF is the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship and UWI is the University of the West Indies.

The aim of UWI UCCF is to know Christ and to make Christ known to our campus, and everyone we come into contact with. After much prayer and deliberation, I thought it was time for new ways of spreading inspired writers to be introduced within UCCF and being the tech-savvy person I am, starting a blog seemed like the best course of action. This is also in keeping with our aim as technology seems to spread news faster than anything else nowadays. It is my prayer that the words found here are borne on eagle's wings to places inconceivable to myself and that they fulfil their purpose in edification of the flock, spreading the gospel of salvation of Christ Jesus, and bring glory and praise to the one true God of heaven and earth.

The purpose of this blog is to share poems, prose, songs, plays, articles...just whatever words God has inspired His sheep to put on paper, with interested individuals. My aim is to encourage the flock at UWI, Mona to write and express themselves as a form of giving glory to the Most High God while improving their writing and critical thinking skills at the same time. I would like for us modern day writers to be on par with writers of old like David and Solomon, for us to be men and women after God's own heart, for us to be bestowed with wisdom from on high, and for us to continually use words to praise the Lord.

Please enjoy browsing around and feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, criticisms, prayer requests, or any material you feel lead to share with fellow readers.

God bless!

Psalm 19:4
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

So It Begins: My Soul Mate

This here is what the outgoing Literature Coordinator, Gabrielle, left with me. I felt inspired to start off the official UCCF Literature Blog with these words. These are the words of one who has truly found her one true love and everlasting partner: Jesus Christ. I pray that we can all relate to the sentiments shared in this poem and never stop falling in love with Him.
Songs of Solomon 5: 16
16
His mouth is sweetness itself;
he is altogether lovely.
This is my lover, this my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.


My Soul Mate

I have met my soul mate,
My body's equal.
My mind's stimulant.

In you I feel the depth of my soul, the captivity of my heart;
The width of my smile, the core of my joy and the centre of my peace.

Your blessings I desire most.
Your gifts I adore most.
The thoughts of You I value and the treasure I keep closest.

I loved you from out first encounter to the last argument.
You are my soulmate.
The apple of my eye, the object of my desire.
Jesus I love you,
My Soul Mate.

~Gabrielle Lawrence.
