“A woman’s heart should be so lost in the Lord that a man must look to the Lord...”
– my friend sent me this quote today… amen! (via gdzlightningbug)
crookedtooth:
Surrender is not the same thing as passivity. God’s will for your life involves exercising creativity, making choices, and taking initiative. Surrender does not mean being a doormat. It does not mean you accept circumstances fatalistically. Often it means you will have to fight to challenge the status quo. It doesn’t mean that you stop using your mind, stop asking questions, or...

“Don’t let yourself fall in love with somebody just to say that you’ve fallen in...”

“She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.”
Wow. Reading this gave me a good kick in the butt. I think in general, as Christians we regard dating as okay, and we’re pure as long as we don’t cross the line of sex. But mmmm girl, the Bible says something different! Honoring your husband, or your wife, all the days of your life. That means right now when...
How would you describe the perfect girl?
chrisyoungblood:
She’d be an inch and a half shorter than me with three freckles that make a triangle in the middle of her collarbone. Hazel eyes would make my blood electric with every stare. Her cheeks would hit the hang up button on her cell phone and they would warrant a perfect line from a song to be dedicated to them as we dance in circles on the carpet of my living room. She would wake in...
“Watch out for love letters from Jesus, because He is sending them.”
– Watching out for those letters, Lord.
Wowza!
My prayer is always that God will give me chances to witness to people, and that I will see them and grab them and He will use me to speak what it is He wants me to speak.
Today, my prayer was the same: Help me to help people, God. Help me witness to them. On my rowdy, loud, every-other-word-is-a-swear-word bus, God heard my prayers and opened up a wonderful chance for me to tell people about who...
“But we cannot separate purity and holiness from the Christian life. God is love,...”
– Eric Ludy, ‘When God Writes Your Love Story,’ shooting down the attitude in Christianity that it’s good for you to try and keep pure before marriage, but it isn’t that big of a deal.

A heart with a crown.
A map, with a ribbon going from Boise to San Francisco with a “SPRING BREAK!” banner over it.
A billion A’s, collectively forming one huge A+.
An ink splatter.
I promised Him I’d give my whole heart to Him before I gave it to anybody else ever again. Does that mean I need to reclaim the part that he still has?
"What If Jesus Meant All That Stuff?" by Shane...
“To all my nonbelieving, sort-of-believing, and used-to-be-believing friends: I feel like I should begin with a confession. I am sorry that so often the biggest obstacle to God has been Christians. Christians who have had so much to say with our mouths and so little to show with our lives. I am sorry that so often we have forgotten the Christ of our Christianity.
Forgive us. Forgive us for...

SCHOOL — 1957 vs. 2009 Scenario : Jack goes rabbit shooting before school, pulls into school parking lot with rifle in gun rack. 1957 - Vice principal comes over, looks at Jack’s rifle, goes to his car and gets his rifle and chats with Jack about guns. 2009 - School goes into lockdown, Star Force called, Jack hauled off to jail, and never sees his truck or gun again....
Abba, Father
crookedtooth:
Jesus addresses God as his Abba (“daddy” in Aramaic) in Mark 14:36. God is our father as well; many people, however, do not have a good earthly father and therefore struggle with the idea of God as a father. What kind of a father is God? Jesus tells the story of the prodigal son to help us understand. A father has two sons. The younger comes to the father and says, “Father, give...

I was just watching this the other day! This part was one of the times I probably laughed the most.
Watched this in Sociology last week. :) Never gets old.
I feel like I'm getting closer and closer
to clearly hearing Your voice…I hope.
Lately I’ve been feeling extremely cut off from God. What’s odd is that this is happening as I’m cutting bad stuff out of my life.
