So I reading “Blue Like Jazz” and let’s just say this book is smacking me in the face.
“A few years ago, I was listing prayer requests to a friend. As I listed my requests, I mentioned many of my friends and family but never spoke about my personal problems. My friend candidly asked me to reveal my own struggles, but I told him no, that my problems weren’t that bad. My friend answered quickly, in the voice of a confident teacher, ‘Don, you are not above the charity of God.’ In that instant he revealed my motives were not noble, they were prideful. It wasn’t that I cared about my friends more than myself, it was that I believed I was above the grace of God.”
That is so relevant to me. When people ask me what I need prayer for, I either mention a friend or a standard “financial situation” answer. I never share my problems and needs with others outside a circle of 4 or 5.
This is such a good book and I am not even half way.
Good night, Tumblr.

I saw this on Twitter, and it really stopped to make me think.
In my anger, I chose to see Casey’s sin, and only her sin. Who I did not choose to see was God. I hungered for justice, yet I also hunger for Grace. I forgot that the only place where both are displayed perfectly is the cross.
We shouldn’t chase Anthony’s blood, we should look towards the blood already spilled on the cross.
Tonight, I’ll say a prayer for the Anthony family.

I fall into your category as well. Something I feel like you may need to hear right now is that though you are a hopeless romantic, you are a part of the greatest love story every told. Jesus Christ loves us SO much. He knew that the only way for Him to have a relationship with us would be for Him to sacrifice Himself. Could you imagine doing that? Fall in love with Jesus Christ, you won’t regret it.
I had a dream last night that I was courting with a gorgeous and amazing Christian guy. It wasn’t a lusty dream or anything, but kind of hopeful and longing. God reminded me that He has someone in store for me. Be patient. He loves you more than the world, and He wants the best for you. Fall in love with Him, and let Him take control of your love life. I found that the only guys worth ‘courting’ are the guys who are in love with their God, and not afraid to show it. They will gravitate to girls who are on fire for God. As for guys, the only girls worth chasing after are the ones who are deep in their Father’s embrace, burning with passionate love for their Savior.
Have faith, and be patient. Remember that no human can love you as much as Jesus Christ does.
