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.

Still looking: What are you looking for?

When I read this I thought to myself, 'I can so connect with this poem'. It's just all our thoughts just said. It talks about all the things we think and struggle with. The fact to we think so many things almost contradictory to what serving God and understanding Him is really about but yet we still just have a desire just to love Him and give Him all we can. Yet we can all be rest assured that when it all comes down to it, we can find God again and dwell with Him.

Words from the author:
Its about Love, but its about where love really lies and where we go looking. As in how life often is like we look in other directions for the love we can only get from God and what happens in our life that make us need that love, hence house upside down etc. And it jus talks about the general struggle of a christian I guess.

...THE LOVE SHE OFFERS YOU WILL CATCH YOU LIKE A TRAP OR A NET; AND HER ARMS ROUND YOU WILL HOLD YOU LIKE A CHAIN. A MAN WHO PLEASES GOD CAN GET AWAY, BUT SHE WILL CATCH THE SINNER.
Ecclesiastes 7:26

Still Looking

Still looking for someone to fill the hole

Still disappointed wen true love isn't shown

Still upset that there are no physical arms for me to run

Still mad that my house seems upside down

Still crying silently in my room

Still insecure and confused about what to do

Still thinking some superman will appear

Still worried because I think I am all alone

Still saying the same song that seems to be now too old

Still telling people what's wrong but noone understands

Still wanting to please God even though things are rough

Stilll wanting a pure heart even though it feels crushed

Still giving of myself, the lonely road i trod.

Still reading psalms and singing so I can no longer be sad

Still declaring words over my life.

Still not complaining cause everybody has their problems

But I just want for one day to experience Love.

But there is no one here that I can find

So once again,

I crawl like in the dark to find the dwelling place of God.
