To my Faithful God from a doubting heart
Thank You. Thank You for never letting me go even when I fight Your love. Thank You for teaching me patience. Thank You for revealing Your will for my life. Thank You for Your grace. Thank You for Your Son. Thank You for the air I breath, the food I eat, the paths I walk. Thank You for friends and family. Thank You that though I doubt, waver, fail, fail, fail, Your grace never fails.

Pond

When you have swam in the sea a lake will no longer do; everyone else has been a pond but the ocean was always you. -Tyler Knott Gregson-
gray area
I love the gray area. That ambiguity that proves the world is a complex, mysterious place. The region between two defined rocks in which humanity has settled. Now I believe in an absolute truth, Jesus Christ, but I think He likes the gray as well. Why else would the Word be written so intricately that you could study it for your entire life and still only be dipping your toe in the water. It is...
The Covenant Prayer of John Wesley (1703–1791)
I am no longer my own, but thine. Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt. Put me to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be employed for thee or laid aside for thee, exalted for thee or brought low for thee. Let me be full, let me be empty. Let me have all things, let me have nothing. I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and...

conversations with my non-believing friend
I can see it in your eyes,
a glimpse of understanding.
For a moment you can see so clearly -
the radical love that is Jesus.
And then the moment passes,
no longer comprehending
that redemption is by grace not actions.
We talk through faith and Christianity -
but it’s all academic to you.
You can’t yet recognize the tangible love of God.
In His time your eyes will be...
I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice? C. S. Lewis
Noise

I cannot put a price on the quiet and calm that you bring to the constant and deafening noise that always seems to surround me. -Tyler Knott Gregson-
The Vow
I, like many other girls right now, am eagerly awaiting the film The Vow to come out this weekend. Romantic+Channing Tatum+true love seems to be a perfect happiness equation. And as I lose myself in the daydream of what I would be like if a guy cared about me that much - I realize that guy is God. Every single day He is making me fall in love with Him again. As though soon after birth, I was in an...
hurting
When these pain threaten to envelop me,
darkening my day, sending nightmares.
When I feel the past surge back like a flood,
I fall to easily, give in to the tide of past mistakes.
So in receptance I kneel, for the thousandth time.
And though I have failed so many times before,
He lifts my face, directs my gaze to His wounds,
once again reminds me of the price He paid.
Oh Lord, remove these...

Can you hear it too?”

Shine
tylerknott:
We spend so much time staring into the darkness that we forget that all that shines above us also shines within us. -Tyler Knott Gregson-
Bits

I think I am comforted by the fact that even if I was broken to bits, each and every bit would sing your name. -Tyler Knott Gregson-
another reality
Reflections on the first few chapters of Mere Christianity
If civilizations old and new,
ancient and modern,
savage and civilized,
all share a similar morality, then what?
There must be a standard beyond our little world,
a Truth that is beyond and above our scheming ways,
a Light that shines in every dark corner.
The existence of such a Light, such a Truth,
causes me to think,
there...
Because of my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever.
Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
~Psalm 41:12-13
be mine
In my weakness,
you are strength.
In dark chaos,
a shining light.
In temptation,
a guiding voice.
In my mistakes,
a saving grace.
In the mess that is my life,
when brokenness is overwhelming,
you raise my head to look upon your glory.
I will trade the ashes of this world,
for the beauty that is You.
Be mine forevermore.

then we’ll never understand

dear angry bitter man
I do not believe in God because I am afraid of death,
I believe in God because he brings life.

Hope

I do not believe there is a more dangerous and destructive force in all the world than Hope, but I do not believe there is a more necessary or perfectly beautiful one either. -Tyler Knott Gregson-
