You know.
I always think about my future wife. I think about what we’re going to do. I think about how we’ll be together. I think about all the things a Godly relationship would entail. And with a hopeful heart, I heave a heavy sigh as I fantasize about all this.
But you know what?
I’m not even close to ready for a future wife. Fantasizing about the ideal is easy. It’s fun....
“Within this Christian vision for marriage, here’s what it means to fall in love....”

Face Value
Superficiality. Society gives it such a negative connotation verbally, yet condones it through it’s very actions.
“It’s about the heart”, says the boy who will really only go out with a girl if she’s pretty or has nice assets.
It’s a pretty statement, of course. It’s almost like a virtue trying SO desperately to peek its head into society, but society...
Romans 8:38-39
makes me feel invincible.
But it’s not me that’s invincible.
It’s God’s love for me that is.
“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
May the odds be ever in your favor.
Totally was not part of the whole Hunger Games sensation, until today.
Just watched it with my sister and her friend.
Absolutely loved it.
So. Good. AH.

Ladies, If you have to chase him, he probably doesn’t want you. A real man of God will do the pursuing. A boy, however, can’t make up his mind and l o v e s to plays games. Your heart and feelings are too precious to give away to just anyone who looks your way. Be patient, every lady deserves a man that will treat her as such. Don’t settle for a boy when God has your perfect...
Sweet, sweet honey
How extraordinarily sweet it is to trust You, Jesus.
You are the anchor for my soul. Your Word is poetry, it is a love letter to me. I close my eyes and I sit and bask in Your glorious silence. The only silence that can give me peace. Because as I grow in Your blanketing arms.. as I sit at Your feet and look up at Your glory.. I realize I don’t need divine revelation. I don’t need any...
These bones cry out. These dry bones cry for You...
It's not about me.
What does that mean to you, Dan?
That statement alone screams humility. In it’s purest essence and intentions, it’s a commendable and virtuous motto, yes. I’ve been trying hard to live by it for a while now.
Only recently have I been feeling this emptiness, though. Why? What am I doing wrong, God?
So many things.
In simpler words, I’ve been blinded. Blinded by what...
Vessel: Womanly Submission. →
skeuos:
I want to share the beauty of submission. Womanly submission. An asset from the Bible which is so often ignored, rejected, ridiculed by the Christian women of today. In Christian circles, I have seen so many young women detest Paul’s godly command about women submitting in a marriage (Eph…
Beautiful. Women who hold true to these ideals are women to be commended, admired, and...
Write World: Writing Tips from C.S. Lewis →
writeworld:
Always try to use the language so as to make quite clear what you mean and make sure your sentence couldn’t mean anything else.
Always prefer the plain direct word to the long, vague one. Don’t implement promises, but keep them.
Never use abstract nouns when concrete ones will do. If you…

1 year.
It’s officially been 1 year since I’ve joined tumblr.
Craziness.
Many ups and downs — very, very interesting to see my posts in the past year. Even more interesting to see how much I’ve grown!
Praise the Lord.
I don't learn.
Feels like I’m straight up running around and around in circles like a fool.
Dan, you know you’re being stupid. How ‘bout you.. stop being stupid?
Time to pray..
Step down.
It’s getting progressively harder to receive reprove and criticism from people I know are not walking with God in so many areas of their life.
“You’re just rationalizing with yourself Dan, you’re in the wrong.”
“Dan you can’t win this argument, it’s about your morals.”
Everything inside of my flesh wants to scream, “Who are you to tell...
“God, interrupt whatever we are doing so that we can join You in what You’re...”

Keep pressing in.
Twill be one long night.
Procrastination will be the death of me.
If I can do well this week, Lord.. words will not be able to express my gratefulness.
Gah.
I’m freakin’ obsessed.
Why can’t I be this obsessed over Jesus?
AH Father, help me please..
Dearest Future Wife, letter trois
It’s me again, Dan.
I haven’t written to you in a while but I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately, even though I probably shouldn’t be. This is my time to grow as much as I can, before I even think about you.
But alas.
I think I’m too much of an idealist. ‘Cause I know what I want in you.. but what I want is probably too expectant of me. Anyways..
I hope...

Concluding thoughts on KONY2012
Good cause, good intentions, much controversy. However, humans can take something out of this regardless. Let’s continue to love, to show compassion, to suffer with the hurting.
Human altruism isn’t the ends. Salvation is. And while justice may be served, ultimate justice is in the hands of God, and we as Christian faithfully look towards that day of no weeping, no suffering, and no...

Spiritual Maturity.
PDave gave a great sermon today, with a great message. A message that corresponded to the theme of revival. Here are a few notes I want to share with you guys.

Hosanna.
Central Jersey revival taking place tonight.
If you have a minute, please stop scrolling and take 10 seconds to pray for it.
For greater things, for awakening, for the Spirit to be moving in everybody’s hearts. People tell me “don’t expect everyone to be moved by the Spirit there.” Well why not? I have complete faith that my God can do it. And that maybe for once, we can...
“Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens;...”
– Psalm 150 (via endless-hallelujah)
AMEN.
great is thy faithfulness
All these self-harm awareness posts and pictures of scars on tumblr are really more than encouraging. Seeing all this compelled me to check up on a sister whom I’m very fond of. She had been cutting around September/October of 2011, and it affected me deeply. Never have I prayed for a human being more fervently than I did for her.
So I texted her, asking how she had been with cutting, and...
