I'm a Junior English major at the best school on earth.
First and foremost, I am a Christian. I do not belong to myself anymore; I am now a servant of Christ. It's not me that lives, but Christ living in me. The Word is my only standard, and whatever it says, goes.
I really like music, and one of the greatest joys in my life is singing 2nd Soprano in Chorale. I also play the harp, piano, ukulele, guitar, harmonica, recorder, and anything else I can get my hands on.
I also enjoy baking artisan breads, knitting, reading, keeping a journal, strolling through God's beautiful world, racquetball, spending time with God's beautiful children, swinging in the commons, and other such pleasantly diverting things. And occasionally, I attempt to blog.

“Isn’t it odd how much fatter a book gets when you’ve read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells, and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower, both strange and familiar.”

“There are two types of false teachers: those who don’t teach the truth, and those who teach the truth but don’t do so in love. Both are equally wrong.”

A few weeks ago I read Corrie Ten Boom’s The Hiding Place for the first time. I know now why it’s on all the must-read lists. One must read it. Like one must drink water.

Anyway, this passage caught me by the heart and I can’t stop thinking about it. I’ll just reproduce it here. I can’t say…

Wow.

kvcshutterbug:

Over the summer, I had a girlfriend come to me with her struggles. She openly admitted of struggling with lust, pornography, and masturbation since her and her boyfriend had broken up. She originally came to me asking for prayers, but it hit me square in the face that praying would simply not be…
