“…you must always be willing to come to the point of giving up your own convictions and traditional beliefs. Don’t ask God to test you…Abraham did not make any such statement—he simply remained true to God, and God purified his faith.” -Oswald Chambers

We often get so stuck in our own predispositions that we are completely and utterly blinded to what God has to show us. The resolution to stay true to God, laying what WE hold true aside, is a daily battle.

““If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32

That is what is true!

Cross-centered

A refreshing reminder for me today. I have twice read since I woke up about Christ and the cross, reminding me that He and the cross being the focal point of my life.

Jesus, bearing his cross, went forth to suffer without the gate… The crown of glory will follow the cross of separation. A moment’s shame will be well recompensed by eternal honour; a little while of witness-bearing will seem nothing when we are “forever with the Lord.” -Morning and Evening, C.H. Spurgeon

The Cross of Christ is the revealed truth of God’s judgement on sin. Never associate the idea of martyrdom with the Cross of Christ. It was supreme triumph,and it shook the very foundations of hell…The heart of salvation is the Cross of Christ. The reason salvation is so easy to obtain is that it cost God so much. The Cross was the place where God and sinful man merged with a tremendous collision and where the way to life was opened. But all the cost and pain of the collision was absorbed by the heart of God. -My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers

These were for me, and I hope for you, excellent words to wake to.

SO CUTE

“ I’m a slut because I’ll wear shorts and a tank top. I’m a bitch because I don’t let you push me around. I’m a liar because I won’t tell you everything. I’m stupid because sometimes I’m wrong. I’m ugly because my face isn’t perfect. I’m a whore because I like boys. I’m annoying because I’m not chill enough. I’m a loser because I’m not friends with your group. I’m fake because most of the time I’m happy. I’m weird because I’m not like you. I’m controlling because I get mad. Sometimes I’m clingy because I like being around people. I’m greedy because I like to be satisfied. I’m naive because I’m younger than you. I’m conceited because I’m proud of who I am. I’m rude because my manners aren’t perfect. I’m unappreciative because I don’t praise you. Don’t tell me who I am because I already know. ”

Forge: Devastating news.

I just received word that Serenity Tea Bar & Cafe is in deep risk of going out of business. My friend TJ was told by the owner that they have 30 days. They are looking to relocate, but as of right now, things are too tight.

Serenity was my place of, well, peace. The food was delicious, as was…

Ah!!!! This is crucial. Tea shops are having a tough time right now. TeaRex in Charlotte recently closed down their shop (although they still have an online store). If you can, help out Serenity.

This song is so glorious. The following line is so strong:

So I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all

So I'll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours

AMEN!
