Shut Up, Just Shut Up
My number one prayer for now; to be without complaint.
I’m probably going to come across a hundred different things worthy of complaining about now that I’ve uttered this prayer beneath my breath but I believe this will bring Jesus all the more near.
He always comes when I know and acknowledge that I can’t do it without Him. This is definitely going to be difficult, considering...
More Than A Sacrifice
I’ll bring you more than a song.
I’ll bring you more than words on a page.
I’ll bring you more than a distant memory with a jarful of tears.
I’ll bring you more than a spiritual high that fades away as fast as the person.
I’ve got a battered up heart with your name on it.
I still don’t understand why you want it and I don’t think I ever will.

Now Or Neverland
I wonder if old people are happy. Like really, genuinely happy. With the way their lives turned out. With the way they act, the way they feel. The person that they are versus who they thought they’d be. I wonder if Abraham was happy being 175 years old, or if I would ever really want to live that long. I wonder if my grandma’s happy, if my grandma’s grandma was happy, and how...

Who's, Where's, and What-If's
As a Christian, we all go through this phase of “what-ifs”. What if I never met God? What if I never got saved? What if I had just gone my own way, and did whatever the hell I wanted to do in the first place?
We get into this mode of apathy and self-pity when we’re going through suffering that we forget how much worse it was when God was nonexistent in our lives. The greatest...

11 Day Christian Challenge
I think I’m going to do this all at once. I just feel bad for my tumblr, so I’m going to do a challenge to re-compensate!
1. How many times do you pray every day?
I pray throughout the day. I guess you could consider them a lot of little prayers, but I wish I had more quiet time where I could just focus my thoughts and give them to Him.
2. What do you pray about and/or Do you have any...
