This past year has been nothing but a whirlwind and fluctuation of emotions, thoughts, occuring events...but one thing always remains constant, my God. Summer allows for some time to unwind from the rigorous day to day schedule that can be seemingly mundane. Not really sure what I will do without a summer break after I graduate next year, I have had one for the past 17 years of my life...hmm.
I am currently reading "Passion and Purity" by Elisabeth Elliot, if you have not already read this book you should (male or female), its grand. Some quotes from the book that perhaps will heighten your level of intrigue...
"If there is an Enemy of Souls (and I have not the slighest doubt that there is), one thing he cannot abide is the desire for purity. Hence a man or woman's passions become his battleground...The Lover of Souls does not prevent this....He wants us to learn to use our weapons."
"Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone to accept, His Lordship."
"If my life is broken when given to Jesus, it is because pieces will feed a multitude, while a loaf will satisfy only a little lad."
hmm more to come
