Sometimes doing the right thing SUCKS!!











Lately I have found myself in the middle of some difficult situations where I have been confronted with right vs. wrong.

As a person who follows Christ, scripture makes it clear that I should be defending truth in all circumstances. Unfortunately defending truth is most often un-popular, extremely difficult and even painful at times.

Today I am feeling completely beat up inside, as I have stood up for truth and been broken in the process.

I am also feeling the burden of following Christ and how others judge me for doing so.

I continue to discover the lack of importance placed on character and integrity in America, and it is really really sad!

All that to say, lesson learned today: sometimes doing the right thing SUCKS!

How He Loves
















The song I have on my profile right now is just amazing. I so needed to be reminded of these things. Hope you enjoy the lyrics!

"How He Loves" by John Mark McMillan:

He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane
I am a tree
Bending beneath
The weight of his wind and mercy
When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these
Afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize how beautiful you are
And how great your affections are for me

Oh how he loves us so
Oh how he loves us
How he loves us so

Yeah he loves us
Oh how He loves us

We are his portion
And he is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in his eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss
And my heart burns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way
He loves us

Oh how he loves us so
Oh how he loves us
How he loves us so

Yeah he loves us
Oh how he loves us
