Just trying to figure this out

‎You will sink folks. You will sink in your marriage, sink in your parenting, sink in your singleness, sink in your studies if you’re a student. You will SINK if you only listen to the voices of the circumstances that are giving you problems - because they speak so loud! And they have nothing good to say!

— John Piper on memorizing God’s promises (via agirlwaiting)

The first responsibility is one that you have to yourself, the responsibility to find and follow your passion. I don’t mean just any old thing that interests you, not just something that you could or might do, but that one unique calling that you can’t do without. As an educated person, you have the opportunity to spend your life doing what you love and you should never forget that many do not enjoy such a rare privilege. As you work to find your passion, you should know that sometimes, your passion just finds you.

—Condoleezza Rice  (via knals)

The God of the universe - the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and e-minor, loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing, love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.

—Francis Chan (via cafespirit)
