journal entry/ quote

I found a quote in my Bible during church yesterday...

                      

            "Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe"

-Saint Augustine 

It must have been from a sermon and I wanted to be preppy and take notes during church. What? I thought is was pretty profound.

Then I scribbled below the quote, I'd say quite a few years ago...

"Your grace has found me just as I am" 

(from the song, "Majesty")

I'm so thankful for grace. I sure do regularly, or hourly, minutely (that's a fun word). I'm thankful that I never had to change and tidy myself up to come to the wondrous cross. My gracious God took me in as as was: needy, messy, weary and washed me in his Son's blood and from there I could be changed for eternity. Hallelujah! 

God has been good to me. 

Quote of the day?!??

yo. Have not blogged in a while. boo. But I found a quote I thought i'd share!

Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and be a hero; better to be content with poverty than to die a slave to wealth; better to have taken some risks and lost than to have done nothing and succeeded at it. -erwin lutzer

Diamonds.

"He was called out of a place of comfort to reach the least spiritual area around; He's a diamond. He's cutting through the seemingly 'uncutable' and He's beaming as a light that's uncomparable" 

The pastor said this quote the other day when sending off a young man. It's pretty deep. I want to be a diamond. That's all. 

Psalms twenty verse four

                      "May he give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed"
                                                                       Psalms 20:4
