james 3:5-12
the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. consider what a great forest is set on by a small spark. the tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. it corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and sea creatures are being tamed and have been...

God is great, food is good, and people are crazy.
how about i end on an actually positive note for tonight: i went to church with my family yesterday and my sister, mother, and i were all raising our hands in worship together. now that’s what true christian families are all about: living,...
home updates
there is a war going on in my family. my dad is under the impression that there are sides to this divorce and hates on everyone who isn’t on his. well, since i haven’t been home, i apparently haven’t taken a side, thus everyone is trying to convince me to agree with them. my grandma called me today and instead of welcoming me home or making small talk at all, she opened by...

oh what a year..
it’s my last night as a college freshman and i am so sad to be leaving :( this year has gone by so quickly! biola has completely changed me in every way. at the beginning of this school year, i was completely depressed, delirious, love-sick, lonely, hateful, and pessimistic about everything. i didn’t want to grow up. i didn’t want to go to college. i didn’t want to leave...

justin bieber, the lyrical genius.
you’ve got that smile that only heaven can make.
i pray to God every day that you keep that smile.
…
and, baby, everything that i have is yours;
you will never go cold or hungry.
i’ll be there when your insecure,
let you know that you’re always lovely.
…
one day, when the sky is falling,
i’ll be standing right next to you.

philippians 2:14-16
“do everything without grumbling or arguing so that you may become blameless and pure children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation. then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly in the word of life. and then i will boast on the day of Christ that i did not run or labor in vain.”
so i'm in the library...

sorry :(
that last post was a little harsh. i need to practice what i preach. sorry, christians-who-think-it’s-not-ok-to-be-around-gays. i didn’t mean to offend anyone. i was just venting. i get a little defensive because i know how much it offends those who are gay and i think it makes christians look bad.

christianity and homosexuality.
i’ve been noticing that a lot of christians believe that we should not be hanging out with gay people because “it takes away from our relationship with God.” well in case you haven’t read the bible, Jesus ate with murderers and prostitutes and tax collectors and those whom the Pharisees discriminated against. according to the bible, being gay is a sin, but it doesn’t...
encouragement
the thing i love most about going to biola university is the community we all share in Christ. in the past year, i’ve gone through a hard break up, a move from illinois to california, a financial crisis, a best friend battling with homosexuality, a different best friend losing herself in the ways of the world, and finally the divorce of my parents. it’s been rough, but i am so utterly...

a psalm of fearless trust in God
The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?
When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.
Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be...
