Why is it that teachers feel the need to make us miserable even when we’re not in school?
I think I’m just lazy. Kindergartners in China are probably more studious than I am.

I'm a failure!
We all are failures! As leaders, as preachers, as followers, as witnesses.
And you use this as a reason not to seek Him. We cannot fully represent Him because we are so far below Him. And yet He truly loves us so much as to give us something better… something we don’t even deserve.
The thing is, we would all be failures if it wasn’t for God. He is the one who shows us our...

I just found out last night that the brain scan results came back for my little brother, who has been on Ritalin and various other ADD/ADHD/Asbergers medications for years and years now and it turns out that he doesn’t have any of those disorders at all! He has a brain injury! And you know what this means, right?!! He can be fixed! We’ve started his treatment...
I need to make sure I have my definitions down.
All of us = saved= given the gift of salvation through the death and resurrection of Christ BUT it is our choice whether or not to accept and receive that gift through faith.
Thanks Michael :)!

But I would really like to take this opportunity to do so!
After all, you guys get to see such an intimate part of me that I don’t reveal to most people. I feel as though that makes you family in a strange sense. Not a bad way though.
I’d like to get to know you guys a little better if I can :) there are so many of you and I only have so much time to read all of your blogs.

Good vibes?

I was half asleep this morning when I started meditating on the words, “the Lord is my salvation, the Lord is my peace (or grace? I don’t remember, that’s out of it I was)”
That’s never happened to me before today… I must have had those words really put on my heart or something! Or had a really sweet dream.
It was kind of funny because it woke me up just...
Maybe this makes me insensitive
mackenzieyourfriendzie:
But I don’t feel the need to be your facebook friend if I don’t know you. And yes, I know, I may have taught one of your Vacation Bible School Recreation classes 6 years ago. But that doesn’t mean that I know you.
That made me sound really insensitive, didn’t it? Yeah, it did. I guess I have enough people I don’t really know who I would recognize if I saw them in public,...

i read your sermon “notes” and LOVED them. thank you so much for sharing them :) what a beautiful God we have.
Thank you so much! It’s as much as I could remember from today, haha. It really spoke to me! I’m glad that you were able to gain something from it too :)!
Oh!
One more thing I loved about today’s sermon…
It made Gare cry. We’ve been dating almost two years and I have never seen him cry until today.
He’s so funny! He was really embarrassed about crying in public because for some reason I guess it’s socially unacceptable for guys to show emotion around other people, hahaha.
I think it’s cute that he gets so worked up...
this isn't about that.
heisjealousforme:
I’ve been so very frustrated. As it happens, I am almost always frustrated. Sometimes I don’t know the reason, but right now, I do. I am frustrated with myself, and everybody around my because of this one thing, and it seems to be the thing that all other things stem from, and the hardest to find a cure for. I will call this thing pride, but more specifically, I will call it...

You must die to live You must lose to gain. Weakness is strength. Joy exists in the midst of suffering. Power is restraint. Love those who persecute you. Pray for those who hate you.

Man, today’s sermon got me so amped about God. I saw it twice, haha. Both the one at 9 and the one at 11. Pastor Pat has such a way with witnessing to us, conveying the Lord’s words through the Word. I want to try and sum up what he said as best as I can… I definitely need to remember this.
We looked at Psalm 41, in which David is hurt and entreats the Lord.
4 I said, “LORD, be...

Okay, no, but really I would like to know who you are. I love finding fellow enthusiasts :)

Yeah, I got Contemplative Prayer by St. Thomas Merton, The Devil’s Delusion by David Berlinski (For a book club, holla.) The Recalcitrant Imago Dei by J.P. Moreland, Fingerprints of God by some author I forgot, and Salvation and Sovereignty who I forgot as well. LOADS of reading to do:)
Also, I’m doing a book club thing for The Devil’s Delusion book. Actually, a friend and I are...

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about...

I've never had a real Christmas in my life.
My family’s Jewish, so, my house is normally the only one on the block that isn’t ornate with Christmas spirit around this time.
I’m not even sure what constitutes a real Christmas? Is it a tree? Decorations? Visiting with family? Wearing red and green? Eating health-deficient foods? Jolly fat men?
I think I’m just going to spend some time with God tonight. I mean, past...
