life with Sarah

I’ve been living with Sarah for about 3 months now… and it’s been more fun than I thought it would be. I anticipated a tough transition from Baywood to my new place, but it was the first time I was moving into a room that I would share with someone that I already considered to [...]

One Great Love

I could be wrong but I think romance, love and dating are topics I seldom think about on my blog…yet its been on my mind quite a bit these days/weeks BECAUSE its the topic of the upcoming College retreat.
However with my close friends its discussed from time to time… in terms of what love and [...]

Glorifying God in Singleness

Super good/useful/inspiring exhortations from the Girltalk Blog today, especially in light of valentine’s day (which were ultimately borrowed from PjohnPiper).
Free from the anxieties attendant upon marriage and family, you have the opportunity to live for the things of the Lord, to pursue undivided devotion to Him. You have “a unique calling and a unique responsibility” [...]

On My Knees

I was really challenged in my prayer life by a friend tonight. He had read A Call to Prayer by JC Ryles lately, and thinking of Ryles’ words almost instantly brought a pained feeling in my heart. While a short pamphlet, his straightforward words called my salvation into question the first time I read it. [...]

It’s All Good

Not enough time for words… at least not concise ones (and I’ve been really encouraged by posts written by other brothers & sisters in the faith that I don’t even want to attempt without having really thought through it.)
Yet one thing is worth sharing. For the past two weeks or so, I’ll sit at my [...]

Women in the Home

A great article from the Girl Talk Blog by Nicole Whitaker:

It’s been great to hear from our single friends in response to yesterday’s post. Your desire to honor God and love the home in the season God has placed you is so commendable. You stand out in stark and beautiful contrast to the selfish vision [...]

Two Worlds

In Elizabeth Bennett’s world, a woman’s future was secured by marriage. For any woman in society, that was their significant, and that was their drive in life. But not her. She refused to settle. She hoped for so much more. She had no opposition to being married – only to being driven, focused and obsessed [...]

This is Home

I’ve got my memories
They’re always
Inside of me
But I can’t go back
Back to how it was
I believe now
I’ve come too far
No I can’t go back
Back to how it was
Created for a place
I’ve never known
Chorus:
This is home
Now I’m finally
Where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I’ve been searching
For a place of my own
Now I’ve found it
Maybe this [...]

Lord, give me thoughts and emotions that honor you.

Simple.

Sigh…today. Oh today was a long day. Today was filled with LOTS of conversation and there are still lots of things to do. I was really struggling to balance productivity with quality time fellowshipping with pepole.
How we think other people see us, and how they really do are very rarely in agreement with each other. [...]
