Saint within the Wretch.

“I’d rather forget and not slow down than gather regret for the things I can’t change now, and when I become what I can’t forget resurrect the saint with the wretch.” If you don’t know that is part of a song by Relient K, and a really cool prayer. I believe we all need to come to this point. The point where we know we mess up and when we do mess up to know we are forgiven and...

Courage
trevorcrosby:
Courage is a funny word. It is for this reason, because it can be faked. You can tell someone they are courageous for doing something when they really act out of fear for themselves. True courage on the other hand is facing your problems head on and saying I will overcome you because I know i am meant for more. Its being in tune with what God’s heart is saying and having the...

Death to tumblarity.
It was just another excuse to fortify that million mile-high bullwark facade that life is about popularity and survival—the wall we all hide behind to protect us from real living. As much as we’d like to think we don’t care what others think and we live completely free, there is a small part of us that still does. And I think you’ll find it true that it doesn’t matter...

Today is what you make it. It can be glorious or stressful. It turns out how you want it to turn out. In other words what you focus on determines on the outcome.

A wise man told me once you have to be intentional with your...
sammity:
A giant fissure had appeared between me and God. Granted, there was always something keeping him skewed and distant from me. A friend, a habit, a hobby, a decision. But I used to be able to make out his silhouette, but now I can’t see him at all. All I can feel is the weight of the days when I felt his presence in my life. When I knew he was walking beside me, when he was there to talk...
Who Will You Become?
trevorcrosby:
I was listening to a sermon from Bill Johnson today and he was talking about how the nation of Israel received more of his blessing as a whole than anyone could ever receive by themselves. His point of the message was that we need to adopt people, business, churches etc… to pray for and partner with. Only then will God release blessing that are far beyond anything we have ever...

I hate the feeling of unresolved conflict. Despite the temperature—hot or cold, I’m shaking and feel cold. I’m really hungry but I don’t feel like eating anything. My focus is on this one thing, stubbornly unshakable and impeding all other tasks until the conflict is resolved. And yet, the longer I have to wait for the other party to reply, the more self-defeating I become....
