Luke 10:41-42 ESV
But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
Crazy how my qts today relate to todays sermon on being anxious.. I trust in your plan.. Lord give me peace.
Spoiler Alert! Avoid reading this post if you haven’t seen The Avengers.
No really, look away!
O.k., let’s talk about The Avengers, the highest grossing movie so far this year, and the movie on track to potentially unseat James Cameron’s Avatar as highest grossing movie of all time….

Had a great talk with one of the wisest guys i know. Something I’ve been struggling with for probably my whole life was the fact that I never really got into the “relationship” aspect of my faith. I was always preoccupied with doing works… serving the Church… being a “good” Christian. To be honest, I knew why it was like this. It was crazy because as much as I was serving and leading and doing these “Christian” things, there were times where I felt so distant and things became much more a duty rather than services of joy. As much as I didn’t want to admit it, I never really delved into the Word, never really tried to grow. I guess it never really stuck; this idea that I can’t really expect to grow simply because I’m serving in a church or ministry. I’ve come to learn that it really isn’t about what you do, but rather how you respond to what He as already done. It’s funny to think that I’m caught up in trying to please God with all of my different actions when all he wants is my love and attention.
It’s weird how a simple talk can really inspire me to reflect and think about how I can change. I know I can’t stand here complaining about how I don’t have this intimate relationship with God when I don’t really act upon it or do anything. I’ve never TRULY been consistent with QT’s, it’s always been on and off. But starting today, I’ll be looking forward to it!
THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME OMG.
Time to become an engineer..

Most of my Christian life I’ve been making the same mistake over and over and over. I keep putting my confidence in my discipline, in my good intentions, in my knowledge of the Bible, in order to produce love for God. I always end up in legalism and self-righteousness when I do this. One day the Lord interrupted all of this. He said to me, ‘If you ever hear me say to you, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant,’ it won’t be because you were a good follower, it will be because my Son is a good leader. Put your confidence in His ability to lead, not in your ability to follow.’
