I’m taking a break from social media for the summer people, so don’t unfollow, I’ll be back before ya know it =]
God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in or pain: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
– C.S. Lewis (The Problem Of Pain)A man knows when he has found his vocation when he stops thinking about how to live and begins to live. Thus, if one is called to be solitary, he will stop wondering how he is to live and start living peacefully only when he is in solitude. But if one is not called to solitary life, the more he is alone the more will he worry about living and forgetting to live. When we are not living up to our true vocation, thought deadens our life, or substitutes itself for life, or gives in to life so that our life drowns out our thinking and stifles the voice of conscience. When we find our vocation — thought and life are one.
Suppose one has found completeness in his true vocation. Now everything is in unity, in order, at peace. Now work no longer interferes with prayer or prayer with work. Now contemplation no longer needs to be a special “state” that removes one from the ordinary things going on around him for God penetrates all. One does not have to thing of giving an account of oneself to anyone but him.

What we find in a soulmate is not something wild to tame but something wild to run with.

That’s what I’ve always thought- that you need someone to be free and take adventures with, who challenges you. They should make you better and stronger. (via underthecarolinamoon)

You are not responsible for the programming you picked up in childhood. However, as an adult, you are one hundred percent responsible for fixing it.

Life becomes a lot easier when you cut the phrase “that’s not fair” form your vocabulary. Very little in this world is fair, and it is not up to us to put the unfair things right. That is God’s job. Our job is to do what is best for us, which means deciding if a situation is one we should stay in or not.
–Matt King in his sermon from April’s Bridge Box

It’s not our job to toughen our children up to face a cruel and heartless world. It’s our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless.
