Aaaaaand giving up tumblr for Lent.
Among other things.
Like reactional eating.
I.e. eating when I’m stressed, unhappy, bored, etc.
And hitting the snooze button when I wake up (this one will be the biggest challenge). I always have really good intentions of spending the time with the Lord when I first wake up (and sometimes I fulfill them, but most of the time, I don’t). So, here goes. Love you guys.

A lot of times we don’t necessarily think critically about how or why a biblical principle exists, but instead we just act upon assumption. I see this extremely true in regards to how girls approach the issue of guys “pursuing” them.
Generally speaking most girls have been taught—either through…
Okay.

One can acquire billions…

"Paul, unphased" by Matt Chandler
Them: We'll kill you.
Paul: To die is gain.
Them: We'll leave you alone.
Paul: To live is Christ.
Them: We'll torture you.
Paul: I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Them: We'll put you in prison.
Paul: Well, give me a hymnal; I'll convert all your guards and lead them in praise and worship.
