Words from ‘Utmost for His Highest’ by Oswald Chambers in today’s devotional:
“The refusal to be disillusioned is the cause of much of the suffering in human life. It works this way- if we love a human being and do not love God, we demand of [that person] every perfection and every rectitude, and when we [...]
Wow. What a mysterious, terrifyingly close God we have… Or rather, that has us.
It’s 4:15ish… pm.
I’m so floored, almost paralyzed by the awe I’m in of Him. It’s physically hard to lift fingers to type.
I feel like I just took a couple drags of marijuana, really.. heavy. But good. Very good. So bear with me [...]
I was about to go to sleep, but couldn’t wait to write this:
Just got off the phone with Madison. It was awesome. The Lord definitely knew what He was doing when He had us lead that trip together… Mostly because it wasn’t the trip- it’s how God is still actively moving because of the spurring [...]
The tour is over.
I’m hilariously, helplessly, ridiculously, completely, unashamedly, forever in love with you.
I don’t want the things I don’t need:
money.
music.
recognition.
peace.
comfort.
life.
a girl.
family.
purpose.
success.
I need you. Your heart is all that I want. If all these things never come, or aren’t right for me, or you take them away, I don’t care. Just let me have you. [...]
…for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Matthew 5:3
This Mozambican girl in the photo will almost positively never have the things that are listed on her shirt as her ‘favourite’ things: new shoes, text messaging, jewelry, MP3 players…
It’s the very first thing Jesus said in his most famous sermon. And honestly, I haven’t really known what [...]
James ‘Blake’ Slatten.
I just got done talking with him for about an hour about the upcoming changes in our lives and how our current interactions with the Lord are preceding them. It was great.
Blake is the person in my life that I seem to (oddly) be very similar to:
He played high school baseball; I was [...]
His name is Tyton. He just turned 3. He’s the son of the speaker at the camp we traveled with for 5 weeks. He fearlessly jumps in the pool, knowing he can’t swim, knowing that even if it looks like his father isn’t looking that he’ll hear the splash and scoop him up from the [...]
because He knows exactly what to do with what is happening in your life.
I’m talking evening plans (yes, He cares about those). Weekend trips. Lunch conversations. What you think about. How you take a shower. And no, I’m not kidding with the last one.
Worship Him in everything. Even brushing your teeth. Ask Him to purify [...]
My good friend, Stephen Pyle, and I got to grab some coffee this morning and catch up on the past couple months.
Stephen is one of the people God has placed in my life as a partner in the Kingdom, a friend that loves the same music as me, and a role model in how to [...]
