Welcome!

This post stays on top of my blog.  Please scroll down to read my other posts.

I hope you enjoy your stay at Alyssa's Writing Cabin. 

I'm a young Christian writer who wants to hear what you think about my writing.  Please be honest.  Don't worry about hurting my feelings.  I want to know what people think.  Therefore, I really would like to receive constructive criticism.  By constructive, I mean instead of just saying "I like it." or "I don't like it.",  I want to know why you like or don't like it.  Please be as specific as possible. 

Thank you very much!

The Most Important I Learned in School

I learned the most important lesson at home which is my school because I am homeschooled.  I have learned many important lessons in my home.  But the most, most, most important lesson I have ever learned or ever could learn is that God created everything and sent His Son, Jesus Christ to die so that I (and anyone else who believes in Him and receives Him into their heart) can be forgiven and can live forever in Heaven.  Salvation through Jesus Christ is the best, most important lesson I have ever learned.  Nothing compares to this! It influences every area of my life.  Because of it, I want to do all for the glory of God and the furtherance of His kingdom.  I want to obey God and reach the unreached with the Gospel.  These desires affect how I spend my time, who I spend time with, what I want to do with my life now and in the future, how I view relationships, what I write, and so much more.  Some people would say, "You didn’t really learn that as a lesson in school. You were five years old!"  If they define school as sitting at a desk, listening to a lecture, or reading a textbook, then no, I guess I didn’t learn the most important lesson in school.  However, in my opinion, I have been educated since I was born.  I am constantly learning and being educated-everyday and everywhere.  In that sense, I did learn this most important lesson in school-because I learned it at home with my parents teaching me.  I have learned many other great lessons which I would love to share with you but if I could only share one, I know which one it would be.  It would be the most important lesson anyone could every share or learn.  It would be the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

First Assignment from The Young Writers Lounge

I did not intend for a poem to be my second post.  Poetry is not my specialty.  However, The Young Writers Lounge's first assignment is to write a poem about your favorite season.  Here is mine:

                      Winter

                    Cold, icy,

           Sledding, skiing, snowball fights,

           Snowy, crunchy, slippery, sparkly,

                      Winter
