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.

Throwbacks from Facebook: Battle of a Lifetime

Early into my walk with Jesus, I heard people talking about spiritual warfare. I wrote this some time last year and now more than ever, the idea of warfare is becoming so real to me. Praise the Lord I'm on the winning side!
Ephesians 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Battle of a Lifetime

My Shield in my left.
My Sword in my right.
My Strength coming from deep within.
Dove high above,
Showering me with love.
I'm marching from my life of sin.

Drenched in The Lamb's blood.
We're of the same mind.
My fellow soldiers, with me, depart.
Rushing to the fight,
Our backup - The Light.
The time has come to pierce every heart.

Two edges on my Blade.
My Shield cannot break.
Enemies falling one after another.
Our Strength can't run out,
Faith makes our hearts shout.
As our Commander, we would have no other.

He's always with us.
Till vict'ry is won -
Leek in beak, still above, He will soar.
Gripping my Sword tightly,
Not one foe I take lightly.
The battle's over...it's time for the war.

~Xavier Lloyd.
