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.

Purposeful Living: Made to Worship

First time I heard this song, I was in such awe. The second time, even more. It's a shame that just reading the words can't capture the experience of hearing a song being performed. We need to realise that we weren't put on this earth to start a business, be an actress, or discover the cure for AIDS. We were literally made to give God glory - we were made to worship. We're supposed to worship with every step and evey breath by committing whatever it is we do to the Most High God.
Romans 12:1
1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.

Made to Worship

Verse 1
I think about all the things that I’ve been through
And I realise how blessed I am to have found you
You’ve been there to pick me up
Every time that I fall down
You’re always there to walk with me
Through every storm

Prechorus
I want to thank You
For all You’ve been to me
Without You Lord
Life makes no sense
You’re the reason I still stand today
And because Your loving kindness is better than life

Chorus
I will praise You with all of my heart
And I will give myself to you
Whatever you want Lord, I’ll surrender
'Cause I was made to worship You my King

Verse 2
My life is dependent on You
You’re my heart’s one desire
And I wanna be close to You
I can’t imagine where I’d be
If it weren’t for your grace
Enabling me to hold on
When I thought I had no strength

Prechorus
I want to thank You...

Chorus x2

Bridge
I was made, I was made, I was made to worship You Lord
I was made, I was made, I was made to worship
(repeat)

Chorus

With all of my heart
(repeat x4)

~Sasha Allen.
