Pacing Myself?

Today, I . . .

Made a ham and cheese omelet for breakfast.

 Dressed up a little.

Opened several cans of worms.

Went to Subway with my brothers and friend.

Started a "visual" journal :)

He Wants Me

"Christ says 'Give me All. I don't want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want You. I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it. No half-measures are any good. I don't want to cut off a branch here and a branch there, I want to have the whole tree down. I don't want to drill the tooth, or crown it, or stop it, but to have it out. Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked--the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you Myself: my own will shall become yours.'"

(C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity)

Holiness over Happiness

"When you come to knowing God, the initiative lies on His side. If He does not show Himself, nothing you can do will enable you to find Him. [...] [T]he instrument through which you see God is your whole self. And if a man's self is not kept clean and bright, his glimpse of God will be blurred--like the Moon seen through a dirty telescope."

(C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity)

Looking Up

“God knows you better than you know yourself. He knows just how small and frail you are. He knows you're just one person, and a tiny one at that. He knows all the things that you are not--and He made you that way for a purpose. That's why He has never asked you to be more than you are--little you with a great big God.

"But God also is in touch with just how potent He is, desiring to do huge, God-sized things through you if you're ready to abandon the path of making more of self and embrace the miracle of being small, yet knowing His name. It all starts when you look up."

(Louie Giglio, I Am Not But I Know I AM)
