Ever been in a fight? What about an argument? Someone offend you lately?
We’ve all been in arguments. Heck, I offend people all the time! Conflict seems to be a natural part of life - in fact, it is. The sin condition has placed man not only at enmity with God, but also with enmity with himself and with one another. We know how to fight, we know how to tussle with one another,...
I’m more broken and messed up than I realize.
All the more reason I need Jesus, because He completes, assures, and endlessly pursues me.

“omg i am such a cornball, i found this on tumblr but just wanted to send you this because it reminded me of our chat this morning! “Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. You have to know that you’re a good person and a good friend. What’s meant to be will end up good and what’s not -…
Just thought I’d share this for you Narae! ♥
Righteousness is freely given and established by the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. As Christians, we accept that gift of righteousness by faith!
Righteousness is established by Him and given to all as we are. Right living flows out of this new relationship!
Right living doesn’t give us righteousness.

I shan't be afraid.
Perspective is essential.
Seems like God’s really trying to bring this point home.
How thankful I am to have sisters who give me perspective in all facets of life.

When you see Bay Area product Jeremy Lin smiling on the court, tongue wagging, it’s not just because his New York Knicks have won five in a row. It’s not just because he’s become a national sensation, putting up big numbers night after night.
Even on my “best” days, I am not beyond the reach of God’s grace.
Even on my “worst” days, God’s grace is sustaining me.
In any case, (though lately failures abound) I am in His grace.
Remember, repent, and be changed.
loveismycommandment:
Studying for chem and this came to my mind. There is a girl (or girls) who for months now has been oppressed by extremely negative thoughts and a feeling that everything she touches goes wrong. I get the feeling that when these thoughts come, you feel helpless and you fall into confusion. You don’t feel like yourself and you feel like you’re spiraling out of control. ...
Sick of me, myself, and I.
For the past six months, it seems that I’ve mostly focused on me. My issues seem to take priority over the more pressing matters of my friends and the world. Today, I’ve reached a point where I’m suffocating myself with my worries. I mean, c’mon Minah! Relative to the rest of the world, my problems are not so bad.
It doesn’t make my problems less meaningful. They are...
A not so private Valentine's Day card
I just want to let you know that my job never involves judging you. My job is to meet you where you are and to love you, because that’s what Jesus does for me every moment of my life.
I’m not the perfect sister-in-Christ, and honestly, God has a lot of work to do in me… But what I can tell you is that we can work through issues together. I will do my best to encourage, love, and...
What an interesting weekend.
changes in my hopes and dreams

learned an aspect of His love through my relationship

Love has no limits.
Even when I think I have, there’s still more.
I think I understand Your love a little more now.
It’s going to be an interesting weekend. I can feel it coming.
“Have you ever thought that if one thing hadn’t happened, a whole set of things...”

How true…
I can see a glimpse of Your glory through sports.
Very interesting night, spiritually that is.
Recently, I have begun to redefine the word blessing.
In a recent bible study with my small group, we came to the conclusion that most people use the word “blessing” when they receive what they want from God. It might be a new job or a winning lottery ticket. Whatever the case, it’s true. We thank God when we get what we desire.
In no way am I condemning our own personal...
Two years.
It is surreal to think that I have spent two years with someone, but I believe that these past couple years have been some of the best (and most trying) moments of my life. Those close to us know how far we’ve come and transformed for the better.
The lessons I have learned with you are invaluable, and I wholeheartedly thank God for His grace. Your simplistic view of life always refreshes me...

I am reminded time and time again that God’s hand is always at work even when I can’t personally recognize or see it…in everyone and every season.
In both joy and suffering, God is always at work for His purposes.
“What a man desires is unfailing love; better to be poor than a liar.”

Love is not of space or time.
I don't deserve it
but it is very clear that You are helping me get through this semester.
Day by day grace.
The beginning of a prayer answered
I had been praying for a particular friend and I earnestly desired to encourage her in her spiritual walk with God. It had always been difficult to raise the subject of God, but tonight, it happened naturally.
More than a prayer answered, God has taught me an important and awesome lesson.
He has shown me that He hears my prayers and knows my heart’s desires. When we give all of those...
