Fact:
I am in love with Max Lucado’s writing.
God loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you there. He wants you to be just like Jesus.
Jesus felt no guilt; God wants you to feel no guilt. Jesus had no bad habits; God wants to do away with yours. Jesus had no fears; God wants the same for you. Jesus had no anxiety about death; you needn’t either. God’s desire, His plan, His ultimate goal is to make you into the...
Often times we say goodbye to the person we love without wanting to. Though that doesn’t mean that we’ve stopped loving them or we’ve stopped to care. Sometimes goodbye is a painful way to say “I love you”.

Remember:
God gives hope. So what if someone was born thinner or stronger, lighter or darker than you? Why count diplomas or compare resumes? What does it matter if they have a place at the head table? You have a place at God’s table. And He is filling your cup to overflowing.
It'd be great if Taco Bell delivered.
Seriously.
“Never say goodbye, because saying goodbye means going away and going away means...”

Hey Vicodin, I'm talking to you.
I’m in pain. You, as a painkiller, are meant to relieve me of that said pain. Now, I’m going to take one and a half of you, seeing as that half I took earlier seemed to wuss out, and I expect you to do your job. Hop to it.
According to David,
our hearts are not large enough to contain the blessings that God wants to give.
Doesn’t that make you smile?
My thoughts at peets coffee.
How did Jesus endure the terror of the crucifixation? He went first to the Father with His fears. He modeled the words of Psalm 56:3: “When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.”
Do the same with yours. Don’t avoid life’s Gardens of Gethsemane. Enter them. Just don’t enter them alone. And while there, be honest. Pounding the ground is permitted. Tears are allowed. And...
Today's revelation:
My eyes are far more grey than they are blue.
Grey eyes…? Is that an attractive eye color?
“Jesus said, “You cannot add time to your life by worrying about it.”
– Matt. 6:27
What you have in your Shepherd is greater than...
Max Lucado's goodness.
“…But the Yahweh who ruled the earth last night is the same Yahweh who rules it today. Same convictions. Same plan. Same mood. Same love. He never changes. You can no more alter God than a pebble can alter the rhythm of the Pacific. Yahweh is our middle C. A still point in a turning world. Don’t we need a still point? Don’t we need an unchanging shepherd?”
WatchThis is my video from earlier today that I thought had posted, but I guess not. Just three minutes of Courtney ramble <3

“When things go wrong, you’ll find they usually go on getting worse for some...”

Love is just love, it can never be explained.
I just want to point out
that everything you are self conscience about, everything you find unlovable or unattractive about yourself, is what one day some man or woman will fall deeply in love with. They’ll love your quirks, your funny faces, your insecurities, your laugh, your smile, your run, your walk, your little noises, your shyness; everything. They’ll love you. They’ll love everything about you.

I've been talking to my best friend for nine...
