The more we let God take over, the more truly ourselves we become—-because He made us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be… It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.

for the next 40 days i’m fasting from my tumblr, twitter and facebook. it’s not penance, it’s worship. what things distract you from times of introspection and meditation? i have more than just this, and i’m also abstaining from other creature comforts.
this is a season of pondering what Jesus has done for us. i hope you take part in some way.
see y’all on the resurrection day.

Isn’t God supposed to be good? Isn’t He supposed to love us? Does God want us to suffer? What if the answer to that question is yes? See, I’m not sure that God particularly wants us to be happy.
I think He wants us to be able to love and be loved. He wants us to grow up.I suggest to you that it is because God loves us that He makes us the gift of suffering. To put it another way, pain is God’s megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
You see, we are like blocks of stone out of which the sculptor carves the forms of men. The blows of His chisel, which hurt us so much are what make us perfect.

first post of the new year. really feel like i should have a fantastically inaugural post that lays out my direction for the coming year. i don’t. i didn’t have any idea that 2009 would look like it did - albeit the general structure of our lives and some basic goals were maintained.
i love the bright sparkle of newness in january, and the red in february feels like blood is starting to flow again. march’s greenness speaks of st. patrick and shamrocks and rings in the growth of the next several months with little green sprouts of daffodil and crocus.
a lot died last year. there’s a lot of hope for new things to be born and grow this year. my only resolution is to embrace all that Jesus wants to do this year with wide eyed wonderment and trust, loving much and living much and making much of HIM.

Christ has come into this mutinous world, which he made for his own glory, and paid for an amnesty with his own blood. Everyone who lays down the weaponry of unbelief will be absolved from all crimes against the Sovereign of the universe. By faith alone enemies will become happy subjects of an everlasting kingdom of justice and joy. Advancing this cause with Christ is worth your life.
