Jesus told the woman accused of sexual sin to “go and sin no more.” That wasn’t a threat. It was a declaration of freedom. He wasn’t interested in condemning her past. He wanted to rescue her future.Jesus is, Judah Smith (via frigidbones)(via hannahcompton)

confidence is the only key. i know a lot of people who aren’t traditionally ‘beautiful’ — not symmetrical or perfect-bodied or perfect-skinned. but none of that matters because all that shines through is their confidence, humor and comfort with themselves. i can’t think of a better representation of beauty than someone who is unafraid to be herself.emma stone (via sassyconfetti)(via somecallmecac)

My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God: Purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.John Piper (via breanna-lynn)(via hannahcompton)

in addition.
you. no one has ever truly left me breathless, as you did that friday night - leaving work, of all places, after you stayed around to chat with me so i wouldn’t be by myself. there is something about you that just calls to me. i pray for you, i pray for me, i pray for us every single day, and usually more often than that per day. we may never be more than friends and if that’s the plan for us then i’ll be okay with that, but i want to know you more. i feel like there’s something there, in some capacity, and you make me want to be a better person. you make me want to be smarter, and know more about more things, and be more confident and passionate about things the way i see you being.
i’m working on my patience for whatever this is going to develop into, just know that i pray for you often, i think of you often. and i hope there’s some sort of friendship/relationship in store for us.

rededicating.
i’m rededicating my life. the Lord’s always been a part of it and i’ve always had some sort of relationship with Him, but lately (actually, since about december) i’ve been feeling this really strong pull in my heart. it first eased up a little when i ended a relationship that wasn’t helping either of us grow and better ourselves. then through my continued work at the y, opening myself up to members and other employees there, it eased even more. and now through finding a church that i’ve enjoyed going to the past few sundays whose members have been incredibly welcoming, i’m really feeling lighter.
i’ve been doing a daily devotional and quiet time which has really helped me and i’ve been making it a point to stay in constant conversation with Him throughout the day. i feel better, happier, more peaceful than i have in a while. i know that He has a plan for me and whatever has happened in the past was leading me to this point, but i’m ready to put the past behind me and start making choices that reflect my beliefs and have the relationship with Him that i’m meant to have and that He wants to have. here’s to rededication!

Follow the tugs in your heart. I think that everyone gets these gentle urges and should listen to them. Even if they sound absolutely insane, they may be worth going for.Victoria Moran (via thatkindofwoman)(Source: simply-quotes, via thatkindofwoman)
