I am
:bulletgreen: Pro-life [link]
:bulletgreen: Pro-adoption
:bulletgreen: Pro-power of Christ's love.
:bulletgreen: Pro-forgiveness
:bulletgreen: Pro- following in Jesus steps.
:bulletgreen: Most important, don't misunderstand me for being religious, because I'm not 'religious' I have a 'relationship' with the Creator of Heaven and earth. It has nothing to do with religious views. It has everything to do with knowing Him, loving Him, and being known by Him.
Sharing His love with others. Misunderstand that and you misunderstand me.
Any questions ask away, I won't bite.

Wanna read a bit more about my coming to dA and my art?
Here's a short interview I was honored to be apart of by ^3wyl

Or are you interested in what others think about my art? Well than check out ^namenotrequired's News Article about my poetry

Review from :icontwilightpoetess:
'*Christianonfire7 is a lovely, kind hearted deviant with strong beliefs and a gallery filled with heart. Her poetry is beautiful and will bring the poet in you to the forefront; her photography is inventive and often catches a glimpse into a different world, a world we aren't all privy to. If one thing in her gallery doesn't inspire and awe you, keep looking--you're bound to find a reason to add *Christianonfire7 to your watch list.'
-Written for her Review Competition features.'



DLD's I've gotten.


8-24-2010 DLD feature
The day dusk did not sleep
The day dusk did not sleep.

You stepped into my life when those bullies haunted me,
You stood in front of me and clenched your fist.
Told them to back off and leave me alone,
They feared you, so they obeyed your warning.
Once they were gone you turned to me,
Took my hand and helped me up.
Then looked into my eyes,
And captured me with your smile.

That was the day the mountains shook,
The day when the oceans went silent.
When time stood still for the very first time.
When the colors in the sky didn't change from that golden ray,
painted with those pinks and purples.
It was the day dusk did not sleep.

You slide your hand in mine,
Made it clear for the who

'Human Trafficking'



Pay it forward features by #lacoterie


Pay it forward February 1st 2013 My sinI bow at His Throne,
And praise how I love Him so.
I write poetry to infuse words so divine
To show Him that I mean each line.
I rage about sin in a holy confession…
Tick…tock…tick tock…

But my confession is this,
I'm the sinner needing Salvation.
I down talk the other sins,
But mine is the biggest.
For it consumes my very being.
Tick tock…tick tock…

'I love him.' I try to tell God,
Like that would make Him understand.
That He can bypass me and my shame.
I'm fooling only the naïve part of me.
So I roll up this newspaper, pretend…
Pretend like the headlines don't matter.
But its screami

Pay it forward March 4th 2013 These words
I spit bullets and speak daggers.
Your shields are your only defense,
Against these words that kill like a disease.


Video of Gideon and me.

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 11, 2013, 11:40 AM



It's been a long while since I've written a journal, I've thought about it lately but never really knew what to say, if it'd make any real difference.
Which it likely won't.

At the beginning of last month I got my first paying Photography gig from a friend who I volunteered my services for during April for National Poetry Writing Month at the studio I'm apart of. She does a Spoken Word Showcase and for the past four years I've been one of the film people for it (I've also helped her out countless of times before filming for her.) This year, because I have an amazing new camera, I was both the photographer and one of the videographers. After the three day event of filming poets I gave her the photos at the end of the last day. Which the last photographer who did the last two years still hasn't given her the pictures.
So she hired me for a special event that she put together for pastors she knows (all speck spanish).

Another family friend who I've actively volunteered filming for in the past has gotten me two paying photography gigs for this month. One is this coming Saturday for some Juneteenth parade, it's not much but still. Then there's another one at the end of the month, the 29th, that the Travis County Republican Party is paying me to be the photographer for their parade. This same friend pushed to get me as the photographer and they easily accepted.
Sometimes it really pays off doing a bit of volunteer work for someone to get your name out there.

So last week I ordered some of my very own business cards, using my photo as the design. I got it a few days ago, and oh my gosh they look so amazing! I look like some professional now. (Some would say if you are getting paying gigs that makes you professional, but I don't quite see myself that...high up there right now.)

It's amazing the things you have to endure, that you have to struggle through to get a small piece of reaching your dreams. It's never, ever, easy to stick to your guns and push through all the hard times, to ignore the people who want to knock you down, those who tell you that you can never do it, never reach your biggest dreams and desires.
Screw them, because what do they know? They are normally the cowards who were too scared or weak to go after what they really wanted, so they take it out on you because they are too jealous of your goals, of your courage to push onward.
Or they think you should settle for a caged surrounding, working a job that makes you unhappy when in realty you deserve your dreams coming true. As a song I love says 'Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive, then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive, who have found their passion.' -Jaeson Ma-
I've found my passion, what brings me meaning and joy.


Now here's a question for you all.
How do you define happiness?
When someone we love tells us we deserve to be happy and yet they know they aren't the happiness we really need, how do we listen to that when our heart tells us otherwise?
It's not an easy thing to hear and it's an even harder thing to think about because then we are surrendering our heart to the real truth of what happiness is about.
Are you truly, completely, one 100% happy?
I'd like to say he's wrong, that he is the happiness I desire, and in many ways that is a golden truth, but as I think about it, as I dwell and dig into what makes me truly happy. I find out he's right.
He makes me happy, he strokes the strings on my guitar to make so many fountains of joy spring forth inside of me. And though I can not contain the depths and abundance of it I know it isn't full, it isn't unlimited.
It's got border lines I can't cross and can't soak in.
So how do we define happiness?
We must first seek what we know as truth.


If love is like that so is our passion for what we do in life, be it photography, videography and writing like it is for me. Or if it's playing football/baseball or drawing to bring awareness to something that is truly important to you. Whatever it is that brings you purpose, brings you joy, go for it with all of your heart. I promise you it WON'T be easy, you will likely go through so many down moments with thoughtless people telling you that you can't do it, but I challenge you to prove them that you CAN do it. Because if I can, you can too.


On a random note, I commissioned my VERY BEST friend :iconislandstar: for a Lion of Judah piece with my first 'paying' commission and she did an absolutely amazing job with it. I can't wait to hang it on my wall when she sends it to me!
She's such an amazing person, friend and artist. I love her SO much.

I'll finish this with a little showcase of my photography recently submitted to my photography account

That's cool!
What made you decide to move down here to go to UT? Besides it being a big good college.
