I never tire of hearing those words… but they never get any easier to hear.
Patience might wear me thin.
Is it 2013 yet?
Tomorrow is my last day of student teaching for the semester, and I don’t want to leave.

Excerpts from "Poverty of Spirit"
Satan tries to obstruct Christ’s self-renunciation, this thoroughgoing “poverty.” He wants to make Jesus strong, for what the devil really fears is the powerlessness of God in the humanity Christ has assumed. He fears an open heart that will remain true to its native poverty, suffer the misery and abandonment that is humanity’s, and thus save humankind. Satan’s...
I absolutely cannot wait until the next few weeks...
Mostly so I can read a whole lot.
I’m ready to unleash my inner nerd : ]
I am in perpetual need of a nap.
This is what student teaching does to me.
I can only imagine what the real thing is like. But let’s not until I get there.
I repeat, another year.

Patience.
I am beyond positive that if I was graduating this semester, I already would have landed myself this one particular teaching job. What a shame I can’t do anything about it… I want it SO bad. One year… one year. The Lord is constantly teaching me how to wait.
In other news, I’m trying to get this summer internship… Please pray for me. Opportunities are abounding....
To My Future Husband:

I know you’d be here if you could. It’s ok. I’ll wait for you. I know you’re worth it.
Decision of the day:
I will not make Plan A my idol.
The end.
Done with blogging for the day : ]
I belong with Jesus.
So when the walls come falling down on me And when I’m lost in the current of a raging sea I have this blessed assurance holding me All I know is I’m not home yet This is not where I belong Take this world and give me Jesus This is not where I belong When the earth shakes I wanna be found in You When the lights fade I wanna be found in You
So let's say I have this plan...
We’ll call it Plan A.
Plan A is how things would go in my perfect, ideal world.
Plan A would seriously make me the happiest girl who ever existed.
At least, this is my mindset right now. It’s the biggest desire of my heart, the one thing I truly want more than anything else in the whole entire world. I’m talking anything… If I could have any one single solitary minute...

WatchJesus has a whole lot of convincing to do in order for my heart to believe that anyone would ever even have a thought to do something even remotely like this for me. I’m talking a whole lot of convincing, people. This is so beautiful. I want to believe.

this is an emergency.
there is a problem in our land—
a bloodshed that has been overlooked,
that has been permitted
and encouraged,
and declared as good,
for far. too. long.
this is an emergency.
we have no time
to worry about offense.
there is grace and love and newness
for all who have reason to be offended.

Excerpts from "Poverty of Spirit"
God becomes human.
He took on our flesh. What are the spiritual lineaments of this process? What does it involve? What motivations lie behind it?
We often consider only the biological event, the external process. Yet, the assumption of a human’s type of being is primarily a spiritual venture pulsing through the free activity of our heart. It is an inner journey, an unfolding story....
