"Keep yourselves in the love of God"

But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.
-Jude 1:20-23

the "feels"

There's something about this video that really stirs something I almost lost.

On another note, guess I'm in the right city.

#PostGradLife

Amongst the many late late nights in the Baylor library, I used to wonder what it was like for grad students ... they'd always have a stack of books (i dont think i ever checked out a book as an undergrad at baylor) and always seemed to be writing 100 page papers or something. I imagined that they were just starting the day when I was there trying to finish mine ... but perhaps tonight I realize I'm on the other side of things now haha. Well ... My paper's only 15 pages and I probably will never be a morning person. Oh well. #PostGradLife

Word

"No matter who a man may be, if he teaches you in accordance with his own thought and mind his teaching is false. But if he teaches you in accordance with the word of God, it is not he that teaches you, but God who teaches him."
-Ulrich Zwingli

Christ, my sanity.

It's a weird season of life but I found myself resonating with a lyric that I haven't listened to for while. Aug used to lead it a lot ("Mystery" by Charlie Hall). The above video isn't the song but it seemed to capture my heart at this moment more than my words can.

Because of Christ,
