not okay
i am NOT okay with being bored and dulled by the confines of this world
WE WERE MADE for eternal awe and fascination, glorious adventures and exhilaration.
why listen to the dull and repetitive music on the radio when we were made to sing with the angels? why watch movies about adventure and romance when we were made to go on adventures with and be romanced by Him? why dream about a better life...
stretching hurts
but reaching further is the reward
post-conference
journal
knock out. wake up
keep journaling
Christmas is about presence, not presents
so far at this conference, i’ve learned
1. the profoundness of this verse:
Eph. 1:2 “Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
- it summarizes the story of God’s plan in the New Testament: God releases His grace upon us (man who is basically at war with God, himself, and others) so that we can come to peace (union) with Him.

Ephesians 3
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

“Love, doesn’t begin with others, love begins with God. God is love. Without knowing God’s love we can’t properly love ourselves, others, or anything. The more I get to know God’s love, the more I understand how to love myself, and when I love myself I can truly love others. In this process I realize I continue to fail to love others, which makes me realize more my need to know God’s love in...

i wrote this post in June of this year. i guess it did keep me accountable to my little vision of getting to know my neighbors since i got to do that today :)
I know it’s my birthday and blah blah blah, but honestly, i never really enjoyed having huge birthday parties and birthday cakes that never get finished or...
growing up is a process
the older i get, the more i realize how little i know.
that brings me to realize how much more there is
to learn,
to be open-minded,
and to be humble and teachable
growing up is not about knowing everything.
it’s about knowing less.
leaving your childish ways but growing more child-like in heart,
It’s about realizing you don’t have it all together.
and when you think...

Out of barrenness comes great destiny. In the Bible, barren women give birth to world changers of their day. Sarah bore Isaac, Rachel bore Joseph, Manoah’s wife bore Samson, Hannah bore Samuel, Elizabeth bore John the Baptist, etc. Why does God like to do things like this? I believe that in the…

I was sucking on a dumdum lollipop today and it got me thinking about many things. When something is rare and unique, the greater its value. For example, in a giant bag of dumdums, there’s only one or two mango flavored dumdums. I remember the day when I found the last mango dumdum and got to eat…

a reblog: Dance in the Darkness
an excerpt of the facebook notes - by Megan Gallear
When the nights are the most dark, when the winters are the most cold, when the valleys are the most deep, that is where the work of God can shine the brightest. He is terrifically talented at revealing himself in all of his glory in the midst of the blackest of nights and the darkest of times. I find that it is times of trouble and...
