Two things that humble me:
1) when people don’t do things my way, it reminds me I’m not in control. Who am I to dictate? I’m not God.
2) when I get irritated at things people do/say, later realizing they’re a mirror of me. It’s as if God puts such people in my life to show me what I look like & what needs to change.
Humility hurts because my natural state isn’t familiar with it,...
1000timesivefailed replied to your post: By the way, Thank you, I am past having to look at the pretty-Jesus-pictures. Honestly they sometimes are a bit discouraging. It is more meaningful to read the stories of Christians whether it be a struggle or a praise or a question. God bless.

By the way,
if you don’t like to read long posts, I think you should unfollow me. I’m past the only-reblogging-pretty-Jesus-pictures phase. I’m a soulfully complicated person. I like to elaborate, when necessary, so a lot of my writings are long. Things just get deeper :)

Life, as a Christian, update.
I’m starting afresh: mentally, physically & spiritually.
I know I’ve said this time and time again. But this time I’m tired of going in circles. I’m tired of brushing things under the carpet only for them to be unraveled when someone trips over it. I have a bad habit of procrastinating with my problems. Hence why I am continuously depressed with the same/similar...
notwally said: It is with the same struggle Paul says, “To live is Christ and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21) - yet he says that it is greater for him to remain in this world serving Christ. Let us pursue a life worthy of the gospel! Give Philippians a read!
You’re right. Sometimes I just get so caught up with my struggles that I forget all about God & His Sovereignty. But I think...

Before you post that FB status, before you write that post on tumblr, before you tell someone about what so and so did to you, before you tweet about how much you hate when people _____, ask yourself:
What is my motivation for doing this?
Is it for attention, or is it out of frustration? Am I looking for sympathy? Do I want people to think a certain way about me? Am I sowing...
intrepidmusik asked: Hey, we're Intrepid. A new Christian Hip Hop group. You should follow us and even BETTER you should follow the link to our Facebook from our Tumblr page and "like" us to support us! Thanks so much! (psst! if you respond well follow you right back!) God bless! :)
I’m way past tired of life on Earth. I hear Heaven is way better. I hope so. I’m a Christian, get me out of here.

:(
oh my gosh. that video has me tearing up.
I’m so choked up by the Gospel. I’m only choking because I’m falling back, I’m falling away. I’ve been lead astray.
I’ve made myself a slave to the things I was once free from. I hardly even pray anymore. I’m merely just existing.
I want to surrender. I want change! But I’m so scared.
I cannot do this in...

I really should stop reading books less-than-halfway and starting new ones.
Currently-being-read book count: 11.
Two more to be soon added:
Revolution In World Missions (I’ve read it before, thought it was so amazing it has to be read again!) It’s a beautiful real-life story of an Indian missionary. You should check it out. It’s free here: http://www.gfa.org/offer/freebook/

What is truth?
• Truth is not simply whatever works. This is the philosophy of pragmatism – an ends vs. means type approach. In reality, lies can appear to “work,” but they are still lies and not the truth. • Truth is not simply what is coherent or understandable. A group of people can get together and form a conspiracy based on a set of falsehoods where they all agree to tell the same false story, but it...
