Love is not a feeling (and neither is joy or peace or faith) Faith must be walked out in order for it to mean anything or affect you (as must joy, peace, trust, and love) Change is good. It’s also very hard. I can decide who I will become. I can decide what I feel. I can decide the way I react to things. I do not determine my circumstances. But I determine whether or not I (and...
i’m seeing a counselor for the first time tonight. about time. it’s gonna be good to get everything out, in order, to someone to doesn’t know me, someone who can listen & ask me objective questions. then maybe i can figure out how to get past this thing, figure out how to really forgive him, figure out how to not let this be a part of me. because i thought i had forgiven him...

wakeuptoyourstarboardbride-deac asked: Hi, so I am really glad that you posted that interview about Rob Bell. I read Drops Like Stars about a year ago and absolutely fell in love with it. And I just bought Velvet Elvis a couple months ago and it helped me out a really deep, dark hole that I was stuck in for a long time. Now that all this controversy has come out about Love Wins, I don't know what to think. Do you think that...
