economy
but what jesus is telling us is once you understand the centrality of relationships, you’ve begun to understand the economy of the kingdom of god the closer you move to a value of relationships having the highest value, the closer you move to the kingdom of god. so it shouldn’t surprise us that the sum total of our lives will be measured in the relationships that we have and the way we treat them...

how beautiful?
About two months ago I honestly started to become bitter towards typical, American Christians. Myself included. This happened to me around the same time last year. I began to feel a staleness about it all. Last time, after this happened, I went to Passion 2010 and started to develop a bit of a heart for the entire world. I started to sort of see the world the way God does, except I hadn’t...

Psalm 32
[[ We are weak
We are tired
Walking through each day with heavy feet
Why are we still sleeping?
Our strength slowly evaporating into the filthy air
Inhaling nothing but recycled groans
Continuing to refuse cleansing
Lord, restore my strength
I am nothing without You
Build me up, surround me with unfailing love
Look into my heart
Wake me up
Splash water on my soul ]]
-This is...

learning
Learning about life, love, myself, God, others, communication, happiness, truth, and being genuine are very present to me now. Some of it is really hard. Actually most of it is but I think that’s because I don’t really understand how I learn things. Well anyways, I believe things will benefit from my learning. Yeah it’s tough and sometimes I don’t want to learn about any of...

Update.
So life is here now. And always has been here now. It seems to have moved fast past my eyes this first year of college. Life is starting to slow down because my life knows how much I love the summer sunshine. It’s letting me enjoy these sweet days. I miss all the faces that I got to see whenever I wanted to in Boone. Okay so here is a quick “shout out” if you will. Christopher, thank you for your...

hesed
My Hebrew Scriptures teacher mentioned a word in class two Friday’s ago. I was attracted to the word when I first heard it and what it meant but I didn’t know why. He went a little deeper into the meaning of the word the next class. Now I know why I love it. The word is “hesed”. The reason he said this word is because it is the main message in the book of Hosea. Hosea has a wife, Gomer, and this...
Treasure.
I ran a couple of miles out in the rain today. Exhilarating really. I encourage you to try it next time it rains. Rather refreshing. Remember to take in what’s around you, or flying past you, as you run.
This weekend has presented me with so much beauty. I am in a self-realization stage of my life. It’s such a great thing to be able to step out of what is going on in this life and with the help of...
Lovely Two Days.
Beautiful music, beautiful people, beautiful night sky, beautiful nature, beautiful you, beautiful me, beautiful life, beautiful God. Really. Nothing else on my mind.
Woven Lives.
I love how God so beautifully makes things and people weave in and out of each other. Today I realized how God has pieced together certain things in my life to help me understand concepts. Yesterday in my Psych class, I walked in and my professor said “today we will be talking about what makes a person how they are”. I sort of laughed to myself because that’s what has been on my...

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
So I just got done watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It really kind of put into perspective my thoughts as of recently. I have been dabbling around thoughts of how people turn out the way they do. You know things like personality, and capability to love. I have been stuck wondering how two people in the same house hold end up walking in two totally different paths, keeping the same...
