Introductions

Let's start with introductions! 

My name is Camryn. I love to write, or else I wouldn't be here. I also love to sing, play piano and guitar, and anything involving music. The two go hand in hand, I think--writing and music. They inspire the soul, help the heart remember things from childhood and motivate us to move on. A people without music, art and literature is a country without hope for its future. 

In Nazi Germany, they took away books that threatened the Führer's movement, or inspired resistance. When the Nazi's took over, any who resisted them or thought differently were the first to go. Who do you think were the first to go? Probably the musicians and artists. Without the inspiring music to put a fire in our bellies, or the art that makes our hearts soar to new heights, why would anyone consider rebelling? 

Obviously, I can't attest to what happened back then. I wasn't there. But I've seen the likes of it happening all over the news and on the internet. People aren't allowed to hope anymore, and some people choose not to, deciding instead to live mediocre lives and go with the flow.

I decided long ago that I wouldn't go with the flow. I've also decided that I won't rant on this blog. This will be to talk about life as it happens to me, and mostly about my writing. I hope to publish some day, and then I will let my writings speak for me. 

My goal - or rather, my duty -  is to show people the hope. I believe that everything written in the Bible is true, and God sent His Son, Jesus Christ to die in penance for our sins. He came back to life, and was seen by many people. He said to go and make disciples of the world, so that's what I'm going to do - be used by God to do what He wills.

May my writing glorify Him in every way!

In Christ,

- Camryn
