Body Image Awareness Week
Apparently, it’s real- and, it’s this week.
Let me be candid with you for a moment. I want to love my body, but, I don’t. I do not love my body, at all. At least, I didn’t very much today. And, it’s not because I think that I’m ugly, or that I’m too fat (I say that because 9 times out of 10, those are the reasons people don’t like their bodies). I...
To My Future Wife:
tomyfuturespouse:
There are two types of waiting: Nervous, emotionally draining discontent AND peaceful, grateful rest. I prefer the latter. To see the waiting as a gift. Like wine, tasting better with time.

The Ultimate Reformation
theoldnewchurch:
I’ve been thinking these past few days on the concept of reform, specifically as it relates to this vastly diverse group of the world’s population commonly referred to as ‘the Church’. Before we go on to my thoughts on the idea of reform, let’s first make sure we properly frame and define ‘the Church’. What and who is this large swath of individuals known as ‘the Church’?

Unequally Yoked →
smiles-make-sunshine:
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ...

louisethethird asked: Praise God! Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. Your life hugely reflects the greatness of God and the parts of your testimony that have yet to happen (ya know, the future) are going to be so amazing!

This has been a long time coming. I’ve just now had the courage to post it. It’s a rough, rough draft. But, I thought that it was time to post it. Be gentle, guys.

Alarm Drama
(Phone rings)
Me: Hello?
(alarms ringing in the background)
Mom: I did something wrong! The alarm is going off!
Me: I can hear that. Did you enter the pass code?
Mom: No, I just pressed 'off'.
Me: You can't just press 'off'! If that were the case, we'd have the easiest to hack alarm system.
Mom: Well, I didn't know that!
Me: How long have you lived here?

I’m praying for you, and I hope you get it figured out quickly. I don’t know your symptoms, but IBS is one of the last things they test for. You should look into possibilities. I told my doctor I had IBS, and he agreed. Maybe you don’t need tests?
I checked the symptoms of IBS and they seem to be similar to what I’m...

Slowly, that is. I’ve been stuck at home for the past three days, and have been forbidden to eat anything more than what’s needed to keep me awake (which is awful because eating is what I do when I’m stuck at home). I suppose I should explain why- I’ve been having some pretty unexplainable stomach issues and I’m not allowed to eat or do anything too strenuous until...

tomyfuturespouse:
One day when we’re married, I’m going to take you to New York during Christmas-time/New Years. We’ll ice skate at the Rockefeller Center and take in what The Big Apple looks like at Christmas. I can’t wait.
I love you.
Just Christmas-time/New Years? Darling, we will be living here. That is, if you agree (: This is a wonderful city and I know you’ll fall in love with...

Is it really worth it?
The more I think about my future college endeavors, the more I think “is it worth it?” By that I mean, is it worth going to school for that long of a period, postponing my life and the things I could be doing for the Kingdom sooner, and spending all that money on my education (especially in grad school and seminary)? Is it really worth all of that?
I think about how awesome it would...

Are you going to be a university teacher?
Yes. At least, that’s the goal. Aside from being a pastor, I’d like to be a professor at a college or university. I hope to get my PhD in Theology and Apologetic.

2 years left as an undergrad. 3 years of Graduate school. 5 years at the Doctorate level.
This means I’ll be 31 years old when I’m finished. That thought is depressing…
