Today I lied to a guy when he invited me to a frat party so I didn't have to go.

Then this evening I spent quite a while researching the best UK online dating sites and laughing by myself. So that gives ya some indication on how things are looking.

We serve a God that led the Israelites from Egypt in a pillar of fire, who parted a body of water to let them walk on dry land and who delivered any armies that threatened to stop their path into their hands. When God has called you out of your current place or season to a new path, you must believe He is going to do the unimaginable to help you follow it.

The Life of a Single Christian | Rebecca Lundberg on what it means to be a single Christian today

When I slam the snooze button on my alarm clock and squeeze in five extra minutes of sleep each morning, my first thought is rarely, “I’m single.” My thoughts are only fragments, usually along the...

Although deep down, you know you don’t miss a place, but a strange and magical conjunction of the right place, the right moment and the right people. That year when you traveled, when you shared your life with special ones, when you were so happy. There’s a tiny bit of who you were scattered among all the places you’ve lived in, but sometimes going back to that place is not enough to stop missing it.

It's funny how the Lord and experiences change you. At the beginning of this year I realized I wasn't going to school in the fall and I wrote how scary that was, to not go. Now I think I am going in the Spring and I couldn't be more terrified to go and not go back to Europe. Oh life. 

There are few things that scare me more than infinite security. Oh how frightened I am by the "american dream". I think I am so scared to grow up because I do not want to "settle down". 

This is the city where I saw the Lord's heart for Malta. Oh what a glorious day that was.

It's a weird feeling to be so dry. I feel hardened some days, but I'm human and this is a relationship so I think these things are normal. No they are normal. Because I feel them all to well. Like now. I literally feel nothing when I should be on some high. But it's okay because even though I don't feel like doing outreach I'll do it. Not because I really really want to but because The Lord has called me here to this team to do this and be excellent in what I do. It sucks some days and half the time I question why I'm doing this. But I'll do it wholeheartedly because I was placed here. Even If it is just to be faithful, I'll be faithful. Where is The Lord calling you to be faithful today?

There’s something so beautifully powerful and incredibly humble in knowing you are exactly where you are supposed to be, but that place stretching and tearing and hurting your deepest of deeps. It’s as though God has put both hands on your cheeks, pulled your face in close, and said “I love you...

I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way.

Deep inside, she knew who she was, and that person was smart and kind and often even funny, but somehow her personality always got lost somewhere between her heart and her mouth, and she found herself saying the wrong thing or, more often, nothing at all.

I don't believe that you believe what you say when you say that God is good when things are going great in your life. Yes God is so good then, but when You can look at me sobbing your eyes out and your whole world is falling apart and you can still tell me how good God is, I will believe that you truly believe it. It isn't in the goodness that we have faith, but through the trials.
