The worst part about being sick:
having your tear ducts go haywire for no reason and making you look like a weepy mess every 2 minutes.

catholicninja:

In a random happenstance, I just met the girl who wrote “Girls Just Wanna Be Nuns.” The guy who’s in the video introduced me to her as the girl who wants to be a nun, thanks Shane…thinks he’s funny.

Every now and then, my darling friend Lauren pops up on my dash. She’s wonderful!

What do you do when you are battling temptation?

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 00:42:00 -0700

I don’t rely on myself a single bit. I say, “God, I’m way too little and weak to resist this on my own, but here it is, and I give this moment, and my trust, to You. Guide me. Protect me, for I can’t do it alone. Be with me, give me grace and strength, and if I do overcome this with success, let every bit of glory go to You. Not to me.” Each success, every little triumph over sin, is nothing for which we deserve credit. It’s all God, working through us. I think that, just like Jesus defeated sin and death on the cross, He demonstrates that, in little ways, in our daily lives. It’s how He shows that we hold His grace of salvation in us.

In short: Never try to battle temptation alone. Run to the Father, give it all to Him, with unfailing trust. You’ll not be harmed. And trust in friends to pray for you! They’re treasures on earth who can help tremendously.

In order, I’d suggest three practical things. First, pray to the Father for help. Second, do something to distract yourself. So much of temptation comes from simply being idle. So go for a walk, call somebody, do early birthday shopping for your best friend, make a sandwich, watch funny cat videos on youtube, drive around and listen to the radio. Last, ask for prayer from others, especially in the future.

Love and a prayer for you tonight, my friend (:

“But if she says, ‘I love you,’ and I say, ‘I know,’ it’s beautiful and it’s acceptable and it’s funny,” he pleaded. “The point is, I’m not worried about myself anymore; I’m worried about her.”

discouragement is around every corner.

I guess the point is to stop looking at the ground, around corners, in mirrors, and look… up.
