A Thought: Faith Like A Fire — mysweetjesus
I don’t want an explosive faith. I don’t want a faith that bursts in an intense, ear-piercing boom with sparks flying all around.

"I will however, mention something that I realized and that was a big deal to why I am running..."
new year…REnew me
And ask yourself, and ask God - for 2017 - What will God do in me and through me in 2017?
I’m Giving Up.
Sister.
It’s called a narrow road for a reason.
It’s rough. And tough.

It’s a three letter word that I don’t like hearing, but don’t hear enough.
Sometimes, I hate living in America because our culture has normalized and embraced and even praised sin.
Having sex with strangers. Getting drunk. Cheating the system. Stealing. Rebelling against parents. Using the name of “Jesus Christ” as a cuss word. Habitually watching porn. Cheating in relationships.

March 20th was when I knew that I would be moving to California with the plant. I didn’t know when exactly that would be or how that would happen - but...
