a one time offer

i still don’t understand how or why sometimes, but i know that you are changing me for the better – and sometimes you give me the gift of actually seeing that. my prayer tonight is that you increase that gift.

sometimes you just have to go fishing.

what might have been lost, don’t bother me.

finally inspired to do this but it doesn’t take inspiration at all

i finally freaking humbled myself. gosh. i have been really stubborn. i have friends who are telling me nonstop what i need to be doing for myself and it makes me not want to do any of those things. i refuse to believe that there is no room in the advertising or creative industry for Christians. this is because i believe that the world abounds around us and if we weaken then the world doesn’t see truth. what kind of Christians does that make us?

a couple of new things.

pano

it takes all i am to believe in the mercy that covers me.

just some thoughts to throw your way

I’m trying to understand why I am having such a hard time with faith right now. I have been searching for answers in the world and it is always, in pieces, flawed. I apply some common sense here and there and it just doesn’t make sense in the end and the pieces don’t fit together, leaving me back to the Lord and the truth and life He offers. It’s as if I’ve finally done all the preparing for the race – I’m at the starting line – I’m ready for the run and I like the idea of finishing, better yet winning, but I’m just proud that I’ve made it to the starting line. Haha.

so when you run make sure you run to something and not away from cause lies don’t need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere

We all have something to run to. And talk is cheap.

probably spent too much time on this.

Sometimes Christian media takes the joy out of God’s presence on Earth. 

 

You have your formulas your events your graphics your tshirts your ministries your pastors your websites your sermon series your retreats your members your memberships your congregations your small groups your iphones your Bible translations your self help books your thousands of visitors your cool lights your projectors your sound equipment your macs your childrens nurseries your buildings your logos your promotions your photographers your concerts your worship bands…

Just don’t give the idea that these things constitute faith. 

 

And this isn’t an attack at all. I’m going to go ahead and say that I hope that isn’t the intent I give off. This is me just expressing myself. Because what it takes is love and honestly this doesn’t seem loving at all. I guess I just don’t like it when the Church looks like the world. And it’s okay if there are logos and worship bands and photographers. That’s just not all there is to it. And let’s keep ourselves in check about that. 

our media?

i could definitely be flying right now.

This week I have no school work. This means I have spare time. This means I get to sit at my computer for hours and do nothing but the things I love to do. And still have time afterwards to do more things I love to do that aren’t on a computer screen.
