You Won't Relent
A few months ago while having a bit of a Kim Edwards binge, I stumbled upon the song “You Won’t Relent,” a sort of duet between her and Chris Quilala. I liked it, listened to it and watched the youtube video several times, but only really took it at face value. I heard the overall message of the song, which seemed to be relatively the same as other contemporary Christian tracks,...
Just When You Think You Might Fall Apart
There is this sign that comes into view each time I know I’m about to do something wrong. It’s my warning sign, my signal, to turn around, go back to where I came from. Don’t make another move. I see the sign, I stare at it for a minute, and then completely disregard it.
This is my life. This is who I am.
I go ahead and do what I told myself I wouldn’t. Sometimes fall...

Let Me Go Home
I went to see Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros Tuesday night. I used my Canon AE-1 Program for the first time, and I’m pretty happy with how well they turned out. I think I’ll be putting down my digital camera for awhile. Here are some of my favorites. They’re a bit better if you roll over them, but are obviously at their full quality in person.

i thank You God for most this amazing day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes (i who have died am alive again today, and this is the sun’s birthday; this is the birth day of life and of love and…

Our Endless Days
i think i’ve realized now, let my eyes see, just how truly hard it is to want what’s best for you. to actually have a desire for it. bad looks good. bad looks like all you want. and sometimes we make bad look like it’s all we need. but that’s never true. and it’s hard to settle in truth. to let truth be who you are. to let truth be. but nothing lasts forever. and our...

One Day
One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read:
Never Date A Writer
Never date a writer because she’ll fictionalize everything. She’ll write about things you have done to her, or things you never did for her. She’ll write about how you never bought her flowers. Not once. She’ll say in well-constructed prose how the whole time you were together, she never came home from a long week to...

Circling
So this is what happens to me.
I make circles. Cumbersome, annoying, stupid circles. I’ve fallen off of my wagon once again, and this time I sat on the ground quite longer than usual. How many times will I do this? How many times will I have to repeat, “I’m ready. I’m serious.” This isn’t a joke, but I treat it like one, and I know it’s worse this time...

Oh, Hey
So, it’s been quite awhile since I’ve been on here. I’ve kind of missed it. What’s new, what’s new. Well, my year in France is sadly over, and I already kind of miss it, terrible cafeteria food and all. It was definitely a good experience. I learned a lot about the language and myself in the process, and I had the opportunity to see things and go places I never really...

Rush
The last time I wrote anything of much substance on this site was February 26. I haven’t been using my Tumblr much lately, and to be honest, when I stop using my Tumblr it’s usually because my relationship with Christ has hit a rut. Fortunately, I’ve received some new revelations recently about myself and about my Savior, and the one thing which sticks out the most is that...

Closet
I don’t think I ever fully understood the purpose of a prayer closet until about two hours ago.
I was in one of my weird moods. I can’t give a reason why, because usually they come without one. I went to dinner, ate, and left early before everyone else. I wasn’t in the mood for conversation. I needed the quiet, I needed myself. Still, no real reason why, it was just what I...

Puzzle
I haven’t written in awhile and I doubt this post will be of any real substance considering it’s past midnight and I had the intention of being asleep three hours ago, but I have this sudden burst of thought. Forgive me if it lacks coherency.
I’m lost.
Although I’m not quite sure in what sense.
Again, bare with me.
I think what I mean by that is, I seem to lack the...

Let's Be Honest
“The impenitent sometimes excuse themselves by saying of professed Christians , “I am as good as they are. They are no more self-denying, sober, or circumspect in their conduct than I am. They love pleasure and self-indulgence as well as I do.” Thus they make the faults of others an excuse for their own neglect or duty. But the sins and defects of others do not excuse anyone, for...

The Minds of Men
I really find it odd how common, and apparently humorous, blasphemy has become. I mean, okay, if you don’t believe in Christ than that’s your thing, but it just feels like a lot of people go out of their way to insult and demean Him. Even if you don’t believe He’s the Son of God, and that He was just a man, what did He ever do to you? He simply preached a message of love....

Interesting illustration from church this morning
larabelle:
A lady got up to share a testimony of what God was doing in her life recently, and she said that God was telling her that she needed to let Him steer the car that is her life. That she had to stop trying to reach over and grab the steering wheel, and just let Him drive. But not ONLY that.
What interested me most, was the next part. She said that letting God steer wasn’t going to work...

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the...

peace-truth-love:
I am sorry to anyone who has seen my actions and has stumbled in their faith because of it.
I am sorry to those who were offended by something I’ve done and decided that if a Christian does that, then they don’t want to become a Christian.
I am sorry that I have let you down in your time of need, when you just wanted someone to comfort you.
I am sorry for all the things I...
