– Kierkegaard
God’s will. God’s will is salvation. God’s will is dominion. God’s will is discipleship. God’s will is unity. God’s will is stewardship. God’s will is relationships. God’s will is progressive.
God’s will is sanctification. God has a plan for your life that will be completed one step at a time, not in leaps or bounds.

Surely broken hearts are gunna love again.
Who cares if your heart is torn around the seams. Just think of your favorite pair of faded blue jeans.

Derek Webb show was most excellent. That guy is not only wise, musically talented, and ballsy, but he is also quite humorous - in the form of sarcasm, (my favorite!)

Relationships: Whoever cares less always seems to have the most control, the most power. But is it possible to truly enjoy power? Doesn’t it seem more likely that you would enjoy giving your cares, thoughts, prayers, love to someone? Pride craves power, humility craves an exchange of love.

I thought only idiots make mistakes, learn lessons from those mistakes, and then make that same mistakes again and again. Maybe we are all idiotic creatures at heart. Not unintelligent, just idiotic.
No matter how many times I am reminded that trusting God is the only way to live, I still find myself not trusting Him again and again. How can something be so simple and vital, yet so frustrating...
There will always be hope.

As I was sitting on my plane waiting for take off a young lady, about the age of 25 walked in the plane at the last minute and found her seat next to an elderly woman that was across the aisle from me. The older woman turned to her and introduced herself and began to ask her questions about her life. The young woman shortly began to ramble about some story from her past and the old woman listened....
Realized I ignore phone calls out of selfishness. “I will talk to who I want when I want NOT when is best for them.”
…I should stop that.
